  Thank you to everyone who submitted applications to be on our Youth Liaison Group and Community Liaison Group.

  Applications closed on Wednesday 7th April 2021, and were submitted directly to our independent engagement support specialists Community Regen in accordance with the process set out in the Information Packs alongside the request for applications.

  A selection process was undertaken to identify which applicants would be invited to the Liaison Groups and to ensure a fair process, the applications were anonymised and sent to an Independent Selection Panel. The panel was made up of local volunteers, external to the Councils, for review and they met to discuss all of the anonymised applications and make their selections for both groups.

  We are pleased to announce that as a result of the process, ten applicants have been selected to create the Community Liaison Group. There were fewer applicants for the Youth Liaison Group, with an initial two members selected, and an intent to attract additional members later in the year.

  The new groups will meet in late April to say hello, and over the next few meetings the groups will work with our independent engagement specialists to form their own Terms of Reference and work towards electing a Chairperson for each group (from the membership in each group).

  The Liaison Groups will be one mechanism through which the public will be engaged in the process of evolving the ideas for the Tendring Colchester Borders Garden Community. As set out in our Engagement & Consultation Strategy there will be a variety of other ways local people, interested groups and other stakeholders will be able to get involved and provide feedback, such as; through this website; briefings for important representative bodies such as local town/parish councils; and workshops for particular stakeholders, among other activity.

  You can see the original application information packs and the selection criteria used by the Independent Selection Panel in the 'Useful Documents' published in this news section.

  We look forward to working with the new Liaison Groups, alongside all other activity, and are pleased to welcome as below:
