OPINIONATED residents in Warwickshire are being invited to join an online panel.
The Voice of Warwickshire is a group of local people, aged 18 and over, who play a vital role in helping Warwickshire County Council understand the views, needs and priorities of those who live in the county.
Launched in 2021, this initiative aims to ensure that the council’s decisions and priorities are informed by the perspectives of residents from across Warwickshire.
Members of the panel are invited to take part in engagement activities on a wide range of topics – from libraries and greenspaces to Fire and Rescue and artificial intelligence. Feedback from the Voice of Warwickshire directly informs the council’s planning, policies, and service delivery.
WCC’s customer spokesperson Coun Mike Bannister said: “A huge thanks to our current Voice of Warwickshire panel for their valuable contributions, and I’m pleased that a significant number have chosen to continue as active panel members.
“The Voice of Warwickshire is an incredibly valuable resource to the council as we can learn more about the views of those who live in the county and understand what is important to them. This is an opportunity to actively engage in local democracy and influence council decisions based on personal experiences.
“It’s important that we welcome new voices and that our panel is representative of our county and reflects different ages, areas and backgrounds
“The decisions we make affect the residents in the county, so it is important to seek their views on a range of subject areas that we work on as a council. I would encourage anyone with an interest in informing the work that goes on in their local area to sign up and have their voice heard.”
