ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We are grateful for the enthusiastic and candid participation in the development of this strategy that
occurred in several ways:
• engagement by technical, operations and staff from territorial local authorities, regional councils
and coordinating executive group organisations who made themselves available at short notice
to provide feedback and attend workshops.
• support and
efforts we have already been making. Expect to
see deepening and more effective partnerships at
all levels of the Council.
