Proposed changes to Council's approach to public questions at meetings

We want to find out what you think of the proposals for change to the Council's approach to public questions at meetings.

Having carried out this work collaboratively with citizens, the Governance Committee before making a decision on recommendations, are keen to have citizen voice represented, to involve you, to know if you support the proposals for change, or not, or wish to suggest further change.

There is a working draft report of proposed changes and recommendations available on this link: Review of approach to public questions at council meetings (moderngov.co.uk) 

The whole agenda and cover report are on this link: Agenda for Governance Committee on Wednesday 28 February 2024, 10.00 am | Sheffield City Council 

This survey is to get your input on the proposals for change, it is quite detailed and looks busy as we are asking for your views on the individual recommendations set out in the report on the link above. It is not essential to read the full report to complete the survey, but you may find pages 8- 17 of the report helpful. 

There are five proposals in the report, and a series of recommendations within each proposal. In this survey for each of the recommendations listed you are asked to choose an option to agree, disagree with, neither agree or disagree, suggest a change. If you want to suggest a change to a recommendation please use the box at end of each page to say which one and give more information on what should be different. There is also a final box at the end of the survey, for further comments on changing our approach to public questions. 

Your views are important to us it should take about 15 minutes, we thank you for taking the time to complete this.
