Peterborough City Council has recruited a Citizen’s Panel, a
group of approximately 1,500 local residents which is
demographically representative of the population of the
City. The Council has operated some form of Citizen’s Panel
since 2001. They have been asked to complete a series of
questionnaires, both postal and online, and attend focus group
meetings.
Th Citizen's Panel are used as a sounding board to provide
feedback on services, identify local priorities, assess service
needs and determine the appropriateness of service developments and
policy changes. Membership of the panel is voluntary, and
typically lasts for three years, with one third of the panel
refreshed every year. There is no payment made but a token
contribution is made to cover travel expenses for focus group
meetings.
You can apply to
join the Citizen's Panel by completing a brief online
questionnaire.
The outcome reports from Panel meetings since 2011 are listed
below.
