Hull People’s Panel
So who is part of the Hull People’s Panel? Apparently Hull City Council has recruited nearly 5,000 local people from across the city to take part in local decision-making, so we can tell them what we want and how we want Hull to be.
The idea is to send surveys out 3 or 4 times a year and get some feedback on pretty much everything, from local events and Council services through to what improvements we want to see in the City.
The tough part will be actually reacting to the results and putting a plan of action in place. Here’s Hull City Council’s start:
You said there needs to be more provision for teenagers
We set up www.cluedupinhull.com, a website for children and young people which gives advice about education, job training, and how to stay healthy and safe. It has received 30,000 hits since its launch in May
You said well-maintained roads and pavements and clean and tidy streets are important
The council is investing more than £17 million over the next three years to improve the condition of roads, footpaths, and street lighting in the city
You want low crime levels where you live.
We are working with local policing teams and crime is falling throughout the city – overall crime has fallen by 42 per cent in the last five years.”
