A Community Partnership must have at least one relevant principal local authority (such as a district or county council), alongside the developer – Radioactive Waste Management (RWM) – and members of the community and individuals. The aim is for the membership to be reflective of the local community in the Search Area.
The main objective for the Community Partnership within the first few months of formation will be to begin the process to recruit other members, which will include the Chair.
A Selection Panel will identify additional members for the Community Partnership, based on the types of skills, knowledge and experience that the Community Partnership will need.
