Listening and Putting Residents First

We will continue to build an accessible council that reaches out to local people by:

• Being visible and in touch all year round.

• Continuing to live-stream meetings and move between different locations in B&NES.

• Engaging with disenfranchised and disadvantaged communities to ensure the Council works for them.

• Continuing to use Citizens Juries to help the Council make better decisions.

• Meeting regularly with FOBRA (the Federation of Bath Residents' Associations), ensuring parish and town councils have regular opportunities to meet with Council leaders, and facilitating the creation of more residents’ associations where they are wanted.

• Ensuring that traditional methods of communicating with the Council are still available for those who need them.

• Continuing to ensure the Council workforce is not concentrated in one part of B&NES, with the majority of the workforce based in North East Somerset.
