Welcome to the Listening Tour… Sunday 25 November 2007

This interactive website has been designed for you to have your say. This will be particularly useful if you can’t make it to one of the Listening Tour Events, or you just want to keep abreast of developments as the tour progresses.

There are several ways you can have your say. You can post to a blog, or you can send us your feedback via email.

I hope you will let me know what you think are the most important issues for me to pursue over the next five years.

See you soon.

Liz
