One of the core values of Omagh District Council is a commitment to effective and open communication and we recognise that this is a two-way process, and we welcome your views and comments.

Part of the process of developing new initiatives and policies is consultation with the residents of the district. From time to time a consultation document will be posted on the web site, providing the opportunity for you to study it and make your views known, as strategies and policies are put in place.

We also engage in regular consultation to establish satisfaction levels with Council services and initiatives already in place, and appreciate receiving your comments and opinions.

At present we are particularly interested to learn your views and opinions about the Council’s new, updated web site. Please let us know what you think of it. You can write your comments and forward them on line.
