Consultation with stakeholders

Members of the CIC are all volunteers and as members of the local community, we seek their views on what the Station is doing and how it can improve on a very regular basis. We interact and gain the views of other members of the community through the website and social media (Facebook and Instgram) and through supporting local events, as well as inviting people to come into the studio to find out more about their views and interests and to provide them with a platform to inform others about what they are doing. We work with business partners, community groups and charities to get their views and support what they are doing and we have regular discussions with Directors of how to best use their views to improve what we do and we have a Director who sits on the Executive Committee of the Local Chamber of Commerce so as to better understand how we can support the economic growth of the area as a whole.
