Gether by Turley
Gether is a digital tool with a simple click-prompt interface that makes it quick and easy for the public to submit letters of support.
In planning, support often exists – but it does not always show up. People who welcome new investment, jobs, homes, services or local improvements may not have the time, feel encouraged, confident or informed enough to submit a letter of support. Meanwhile, objections are often more visible, creating an incomplete picture of local opinion.
Gether helps correct that imbalance.
Through targeted campaigns and a simple guided interface, Gether enables supporters to create structured, policy-relevant letters of support that can be submitted into the planning process. The result is clear evidence of community backing that can be seen and considered by decision makers.
Whilst you can count that objectors won’t stay silent – supporters need a helping hand. Gether helps make their voice heard and counted.
Turning support into evidence
Gether makes it easier for the public to support proposals they believe in.
The platform can generate tailored “Gether Letters” through smart demographic and geographic targeted campaigns or focused survey panels. Our simple click prompt interface helps generate hundreds of letter variations based on accurate project information and material considerations that are tailored to your project's local authority and planning policy context in each jurisdiction of the UK and Ireland.
The process is simple for users, while ensuring responses are structured, relevant and capable of being submitted as planning representations.
