Public Smoking Ban - your views matter!

12.03.2008

A wide-ranging consultation has been launched to gauge individual views on the effects of the public smoking ban, introduced by the government in July of last year.

Transform Neighbourhood Management are offering the unique opportunity for residents of Ilfracombe, Combe Martin and Bratton Fleming to voice their opinions on what should be done about smoking in public places.

'We want to hear all shades of opinion. Organisations with an interest will get a chance to voice their views and concerns. Whatever we decide to do, we want to have the backing of the community which is why we are launching today's public consultation.

"People will be able to pick up copies of the consultation, which will only take a few minutes to complete, from doctors' surgeries, libraries and other public outlets.

On completion of the consultation, time will be taken to review and consider all views and the strength of public opinion will provide us with the strongest possible case for future action.
