The Citizens' Panel
The Citizens’ Panel is a large group of residents who respond to
regular Viewpoint Surveys sent to them by the Council. The
surveys contain questions on a wide range of (mainly) local
issues. Most questions are generated by units within the
Council, but some are occasionally put forward by our
partner agencies, such as local colleges or more often the Police.
Each Panel lasts for around three to four years receiving a
survey every 9-10 months and answering a maximum or around six. In
the summer 2011 we created our current Citizen's Panel (Panel 5),
which consists of 650 residents and has responded so far to
two surveys.
The information panelists provide is distributed to the unit who
provided the question but is also reported throughout the Council,
to all councilors and is also fed back to all panelists. Summary
and all information reports are also produced containing
commentaries on why the questions were asked and what’s happening
(or has happened) to the information panelists have provided. The
two latest full length reports can be viewed below.
