Response

Before completing this response, SDEF polled its members, made up of individuals, organisations and Access Panels, with a shorter version of this consultation. We also held a consultation event in Stirling on 27 January 2016 with SDEF members and Stirling Access Panel. We have used these to help develop our response.
