Councillor David Lloyd, the leader of Newark and Sherwood District Council, said: "Engagement and consultation are vital to ensure that our residents and communities are at the heart of everything we do as a council. Consultation has too often been regarded as a 'tick box' exercise because it occurs too late in processes, or it is seeking to affirm a proposal without alternatives.
