Ore Valley, Hastings, UK PakistanPeople of different ages, gender, backgrounds and culture invariably have different perspectives. Make sure a full spectrum of the community is involved. This is usually more important than involving large numbers.
Principle: Involve all sections
of the community
![Page 15: Community led planning - Nick Wates](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/547a4dc4b4af9f4b688b479c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
