4NW is the Regional Leaders Forum for England's Northwest and is also the designated regional planning body for the Northwest.

The Partial Review Process

4NW wants to work with others to look at the three review issues. This means there are lots of opportunities for you to find out more, influence and comment on plans.

To be involved you must be registered. Once registered, you will be able to comment on the following three key stages.

Consultation Stage	Start	End	Status
Stage 1: Consultation on the Draft Project Plan and Statement of Public Participation.	Feb 08	Apr 08	Closed
Stage 2: Consultation on draft options	Jun 08	Jun 08	Closed
Stage 3: Consultation on draft policies	Oct 08	Nov 08	Pending

At different times during the process 4NW will be using different ways to talk to people, including a web site, questionnaires and workshops.

Once registered you will receive updates and newsletters about what is happening.
