How we AssistedArrow

How we Assisted

Cavendish was appointed during the second phase of the consultation process to manage engagement with the local community and stakeholders, as well as to mobilise support from both politicians and members of the public.  

Despite strong opposition from the local community, our efforts resulted in generating a significant number of supportive representations, helping balance the narrative and highlight the mix of views.
