Highland Council has just launched its new on-line engagement portal available at Citizen engagement platform | The Highland Council. This will supplement but not replace other methods of engagement and allows a much more interactive experience with the facility for creation of ideas, using mapping to drop ‘pins’, voting etc. One of the most helpful features is that registered users can select the geographic and/or sectoral areas they are interested in and will then receive notifications when there is new activity under these themes or when there are updates. There is no requirement to register on the site, but more functions are available to those who choose to do so.

At present we just have the one active consultation, but this site will now be the primary on-line site used for all our consultation and engagement. This will include statutory consultations such as school closures, traffic orders etc through to wider studies and more general engagement. 

I would be grateful if you can share this message with your widest networks and encourage as many people as possible to visit the site and register if they wish to do so. The site is available here – https://engage.highland.gov.uk/en-GB/  or just drop engage.highland.gov.uk into your browser.
