It's your chance to have your say, as this needs to be put towards local people's priorities. This additional money will allow us to make improvements that would not otherwise have been possible.

Where abouts would this questionnaire/consultation document be? I do not see any specific mention on TDC home page?
ReplyDelete12.19 I am sorry that the link is obviously wrong, I have emailed TDC for the right link as I can’t find documents on their website either, and will put it right as soon as I can.
