A series of Councillor Workshops where held between October 2015 and March 2017 in order to seek members’ views on the issues and alternative options to be addressed by the POP (see Table 2 below). Prior to the workshops members were furnished with a copy of an agenda and a briefing paper on the proposed content of the workshop. Further to each workshop a summary report of the issues and the discussions that took place was sent to each of the members to ensure that their views were accurately recorded and to seek the views of those who were unable to attend. The report set out the main issues and options, a summary of the discussion at the workshop and highlighted the options which gained the most consensus at the workshops.
