APPENDIX 4
Memorandum by Bristol City Council
I am pleased to enclose evidence of Bristol City
Council's innovatory work to promote citizen participation in
local Government.[1]
Bristol City Council, in partnership with Avon
Health Authority, has established the Bristol citizens' panel
as a new way to consult and involve local people. The attached
report describes the rigorous methods that we have employed to
establish a panel that is representative and inclusive of the
population of Bristol as a whole. The report provides examples
of how the panel is now being used to inform Council policy and
priorities. Lastly, the report highlights the challenges that
we face as the panel enters its second full year.
I am, of course, happy to provide the Committee
with further information if required. I look forward to the outcomes
of the inquiry.

Policy Co-ordinator and Chief Executive
