This questionnaire is gathering reflections on this topic from a range of a wide range of different people in Somerset who have experience in community development and engagement. This includes: councillors and staff at Somerset Council, city, parish and town councils; people who work in public services; community groups and social enterprises; and, business owners.
The inclusion and democracy organisation Citizen Network have been commissioned to review how Somerset Council can work to engage and develop communities. The review will reflect on the aspirations when Somerset Council became a unitary authority and the experience since, and recommend a framework for Somerset Council that will support a programme of community development and engagement.
The questionnaire asks eight open-ended questions and will take around 10 to 20 minutes to complete. If you need to take a break, your response will be saved on your browser until you click 'Submit'. Whilst partial responses can be retrieved, if you have written a lot, it may be wise to save your comments separately in case of technical issues.
