3.12 The results <strong>of</strong> the consultation on the Issues and Options Paper were<br />
taken forward and helped to shape and inform the Preferred Options<br />
Paper (see Section 4). In particular the comments in response to the<br />

Preferred Options Paper.<br />
Hunstanton and Downham Market Visioning Events<br />
3.13 The <strong>Council</strong> also organised specific workshops in Hunstanton and<br />
Downham Market to identify visions for the towns, and these included<br />
youth workshops to gain young peoples ideas. The workshops were run<br />
by an independent facilitator and involved key stakeholders throughout the<br />
communities. The events ran in Dec 05 – Feb 06. These visions fed<br />
directly into the Preferred Options Paper. Full reports <strong>of</strong> these events are<br />
available on request.<br />
