Southwark democracy commission survey
1. About the democracy commission and the council assembly
Southwark Council has set up a democracy commission, with the aim of bringing the council closer to its residents, making it more accountable to them and more connected with their concerns. The commission consists of 7 councillors representing all three political groups: Labour, Liberal Democrats and Conservative.
For its first task the democracy commission will look at Southwark’s council assembly. This is a public meeting of all 63 elected councillors sitting on the council, and is chaired by the Mayor of Southwark. It meets regularly to debate local issues and make decisions.
We would very much appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to fill out this questionnaire by 10 September 2010.
