The Citizens’ Panel is a group of people who are consulted on a range of local issues and services we provide to the community.
Our panel of people is updated regularly, to ensure there is less chance of the Panel members becoming too familiar with Council services, and therefore no longer a fair reflection of general views about them.
Panel members are contacted by post or telephone regularly to answer questions about issues and services involving the District Council and the community.
The views and opinions expressed are collected and reported to elected councillors to consider as part of the council's decision making process.
There are no financial rewards for being a panel member. We hope people want to take part because they care about our community.
Their views help councillors make sure services match the needs of the community. We let them know the results of the surveys they take part in and what action taken on these issues.
We already consult many organisations as part of our work. The panel is an important way of finding out the views of local people on important issues.
Anyone interested in taking part should contact the Communications Office for more information.
