You are free to make a choice as to how your information will be used. We will only use your material in the manner to which you agree.

I supplied information and it was not used. Was it not considered important?
The Northbridge History Project is undertaking the process of community consultation because we are hoping to discover information about elements of Northbridge's history that have not yet been researched. We envisage that we will receive a lot of information but it may not be possible to include it all in the activities that the Northbridge History Project undertakes. The information that you supplied, even if it was not used, does not mean that it was not important. Your information will help to inform the researchers and give them a broader understanding of the complexities and issues in the area.
