An online presence is now a core part of any comprehensive consultation process. An interactive user friendly website will help inform a wider audience whilst providing another conduit through which the local community can engage in the design and consultation process.
Dedicated project websites ensure that those who are unable to attend consultation events are not excluded from providing feedback and have easy access to the same information as everyone else. Anyone who has access to an internet connection has the chance to fully engage in the consultation process.
Social media is also an increasingly important tool through which communities distribute information. Through the creation of site specific facebook pages and twitter accounts, social media can be used to engage with members of a community who otherwise may not choose to take part in the development process.
