Your Say
This is where landowners record their preferences and register consent. The decisions you express here will shape the scheme agreement — the legal document each member will be asked to sign.
Three ways to vote — all equal
You can record your preferences online, by post, or by phone. There is no difference in the weight your response carries.
- Online: use the links on this page. You will need your personal email link.
- By post: a paper ballot is in your pre-workshop pack. Return it in the FREEPOST envelope or bring it to the workshop.
- By phone: call {{contact name}} on {{phone number}}. Lines are open {{days and hours}}.

What this page is for
Between now and {{closing date}}, every landowner in the Ure Dales Consortium is asked to record their preferences on a small number of scheme questions. Your responses inform the scheme agreement — the legally binding document that will ratify whatever the Consortium decides.
Recording a preference here is not, in itself, a legal act. The legally binding step is signing the scheme agreement. This page is where you shape what goes into it.
