City folk to have their say
25/02/10
Citizens across Aberdeen are having their say by taking part in the 19th City Voice questionnaire.
This questionnaire focuses on the community planning themes of safety, homes and health and social care.
The City Voice is an initiative by Aberdeen's Community Planning Partnership, which includes Aberdeen City Council, Grampian Police, Grampian Fire and Rescue Service, Scottish Enterprise Grampian, NHS Grampian, Communities Scotland and Aberdeen Council of Voluntary Organisations.
The City Voice was launched in 2003 and consists of nearly 1000 panellists who complete three questionnaires a year.
The results are used to shape policy, measure performance and plan future service delivery.
A council spokeswoman said: "This is a valuable tool for telling service providers what they are doing right and what could be done better.
"Panel members also receive a copy of a newsletter that updates them on past City Voice questionnaires and more importantly, what the service providers are going to do with the results.
"We are always looking for new Citizens' Panel members so if you want to make your voice heard on a wide range of issues affecting your community."
Anybody wishing to take part should contact Philippa Mason, City Voice Co-ordinator on pcorley@aberdeencity.gov.uk or 01224 522935.
