Public Participation Strategy

We have adopted a Participation Strategy which explains how we will encourage local people to participate in the Council’s decision-making processes.

The Council’s public participation strategy describes how the Council will:   

• promote awareness of the Council’s functions; 
• promote awareness of how people can become a Councillor and what the role entails; 
• facilitate access to information about decisions made, or to be made, by the Council; 
• promoting arrangements by which people may make representations to the Council about decisions it has made or will make in the future;  
• ensure that the public’s views are brought to the attention of its Overview and Scrutiny Committee; and  
• promote awareness amongst Councillors of the benefits of using social media to communicate with local people.
