The Aberdeenshire Community Planning Partnership ran an initial trial - over an 18 month period - of a Citizens' Panel, with the aim of increasing the effectiveness of our community consultation mechanism. The panel will now continue through to 2009.
Citizens' panels are a way for local people to give their opinion on services in their local area and influence decision makers. We have recruited approximately 1250 residents of Aberdeenshire who agreed to be consulted regularly on matters of local concern.
Most Recent Survey
The most recent survey was sent out to panel members in July 2008. It focused on a Sustainable Environment and Transport. To view the questionnaire, visit Our Aberdeenshire.
Future Surveys
A questionnaire is planned to be sent out to citizens' panel members approximately every three months. The next survey will tackle Jobs and the Economy.
Previous Surveys and Further Information
All previous questionnaires, reports of results and feedback newsletters are available to view as well as further information about the citizens' panel.
