The R&I Unit is here to support local public service organisations, primarily the County Council, in meeting these obligations. We do this by advising members and officers of the most effective way of allocating resources. We work to ensure the views of local communities are taken into account in the decisions of public bodies and aim to enable the public to be more informed about the characteristics of their area. We fulfil these aims by gathering, analysing, interpreting and presenting necessary intelligence.”
