The Talking Shop: Have Your Say
Talking Shop — это программа участия сообщества и опросов.. Rather than expecting everyone to come to a stuffy office, the Talking Shop team will be visiting locations across Dover to speak directly with residents, посетители, community groups and local businesses.
The aim is simple: to make it easier for people to tell us what matters to them and what they would like to see happening in their local community.

Local knowledge is essential when decisions are being made about projects, activities and community priorities. The people who live, work and spend time in Dover often have the clearest understanding of what is working well and where improvements may be needed.
