Get Involved campaign
Our aim with this Get Involved campaign is to make local people aware of the many ways they can get involved in their community. This could be in various ways, for instance through taking part in local decision making, by voting or having your say in consultations.
Other the next few months we’ll be putting on events and will be giving you the opportunity to get involved in many aspects of life, in neighbourhoods and across the city.
