Have your Say - Your Voice Counts

We want to make sure everyone in the area is given an equal voice to have a say in what affects the district. Take part and work with us, so that what we do reflects your needs and opinions and retains your support.

You say, we listen ...

Ask a question: The public is entitled to ask questions at council meetings. If you cannot attend the meeting you can send in a question and it will get raised at the appropriate time.

Suggest a topic for Scrutiny: The Scrutiny Committee is seeking topics for next year's Work Programme.

Complain about something we did or didn't do: Even the best services can go wrong and we want to know if you think we have got it wrong.

Complain about a Councillor: District Councillors and Parish Councillors are bound by a Code of Conduct. If you think this code has been breached please report it to us.

Petition us: You can raise a petition asking us to do something. Online petitions are coming later in the year.

 

We ask, you say ...

Consultation Finder: The Council's on-line consultation database has been set up to help you find out about forthcoming, open and closed consultations in Eden District.You can now search for information about all the public engagement exercises in Eden that affect you and other people in the area.

Community Voice is a Citizens Panel used in partnership with other authorities in Cumbria to consult with people in the area.

Young People and Participation makes sure young people know about different ways to find information that is relevant to them and that they know how to play an active role at different levels.  

Public engagement and consultation are important to the Council and we welcome new ideas that would support these processes.
