A358 stakeholder pack
Introduction
This stakeholder pack is designed to be a useful resource for you to help share information about the A358 consultation that is taking place from 16 January – 27 February 2018.
Below you will find blocks of text that can be cut and pasted into newsletters, onto Facebook pages or similar, along with suggested tweets to use on Twitter, to help raise awareness of what is happening, why, and how you and others can get involved.
You will also find a link to a poster that can be downloaded and printed out, again to raise awareness of the consultation and how people can take part in them.
Sharing information about the consultation will help to ensure that those people affected by the proposed road improvement have the opportunity to have their say.
