Have you ever thought about getting in touch with us to find out how you can become involved in Council services that affect you?
We engage with residents about many different things using a variety of methods to reach the people whose views we are seeking. We are committed to engaging with users of our services and stakeholders in the setting and prioritising of our objectives, so that we deliver our services cost effectively and how, when and where our customers would like them.
Engagement is an integral part of promoting a strong local democracy. When we engage with you, although we listen to everything that is said to us, we remain the ultimate decision-making body, whose role it is to balance the differing needs of members of the community.
The methods of consultation we use include:
- Paper based questionnaires and surveys;
- Public meetings;
- Open days;
- Visiting residents at their homes
- Telephone interviews
- Speak Now- residents' panel
- Scene and Heard- youth panel
Any resident of East Devon over the age of 18 can join our Speak Now residents panel where you will regularly be asked about our services. To find out more, or to join go to: www.eastdevon.gov.uk/speaknow
Any resident of East Devon aged between 11 and 17 can join our Scene and Heard youth panel. To find out more, or to join go to: www.eastdevon.gov.uk/sceneandheard
