Consultation Event on New Council structures
The County Council is organising a series of “Stakeholder Events” around the County in late July and August to gauage local feelings on the sizes and structures of the new Area Action Partnerships (EAP) that are to be set up from next April.
The EAPs are supposed to be the way for the new council to make decisions and consult with people in their local areas and there could be 12-14 in all across the County.
The sorts of questions that the meetings will try to address are
- What would be the most important activities for Area Action Partnerships to be involved with?
- How many partnerships do we need? Is 12 to 14 the right number?
- Which areas should the partnerships serve?
- How should the partnerships keep in touch with local people?
- How can the partnerships best involve local people and groups?
The meeting for DurhamCity is in two weeks time on Tuesday 29 July at 6 pm in Durham Town Hall. If you wish to attend then you need to book a place by 24 July. Contact Lee Kirby, City of Durham Council, 0191 301 8898, lkirby@durhamcity.gov.uk
