How the panel works

The role is unpaid. We will:

  • ask for your feedback using short online surveys
  • invite you to take part in a focus group, which might be in person or online

You do not have to respond to everything we send you if the topic does not interest or impact you.

The sorts of things we want to hear your views on may include:

  • customer or online experiences
  • proposed changes to services and amenities
  • council priorities
  • draft policies and documents
  • trust and confidence in the council
  • the environment and climate change

We will also share with you:

  • details of formal consultations open to all residents
  • relevant partner consultations, for example health, police and county council

How we will use your feedback

The residents’ panel is an informal engagement group. Your anonymised feedback will:

  • be used in the early stages of a project or service redesign
  • assist us in identifying the options and proposals put forward for formal public consultation

Wherever possible, we will let you know how your feedback has been used and how you have helped to improve our services.

Data protection

Feedback provided by panel members is used anonymously.

We will only use your personal data to invite you to take part in our consultation and engagement activity and to compare the panel’s demographic profile with the borough’s demographic profile.
