Ensure attendees are invited to area panels through other means than email to avoid digital exclusion.

 

Hannah Barker

The Community Engagement Team (CET) keep a mailing list of residents receiving Area Panel Agenda Pack, including whether they need a paper copy posting. Anyone elected as Area Panel representative by their Residents Group can receive a paper copy automatically unless they tell us they don’t need it. If any residents want to check, please ask any member of the CET. To conserve funds, we no longer distribute paper copies to anyone who can access them via email. Paper copies will be available at the pre-meetings.
