The contents of the Plan have been subject to robust, detailed and comprehensive consultation with particular emphasis placed on engaging with the citizens’ of Anglesey and listening to their views from the outset of the process; approximately 900 citizens have been given the opportunity to comment on the draft Plan. The response to the Plan has been generally positive with the majority of respondents concurring with the broad aims of the Plan.
