(Corporate Overview and Scrutiny Committee) (Jonathan Hayes – 01535 618008)
Minutes:
The report of the Strategic Director, Place, (Document “AJ”) provided information about community engagement activities undertaken by Keighley Area Co-ordinator’s Office during October 2016 – March 2017.
It was explained that Document AJ provided a summary of the breadth of the community engagement activities that had been undertaken by Keighley Area Co-ordinator’s Office (KACO) during the period October 2016 - March 2017. The activities included ‘traditional’ Neighbourhood Forums, public meetings organised by KACO staff open to all but run on a different format to a Neighbourhood Forums, meetings targeted at particular ‘people groups’ (e.g. young people), attendance at meetings and other events organised by partner agencies or community groups, door-knocking and ‘street consultations’.
Document “AJ” revealed that the variety of approaches had proved much more effective at reaching a wider and more diverse range of the general public than normally attended Neighbourhood Forums and the Area Co-ordinators Office would continue to identify ways of making Neighbourhood Forums, and other forms of consultation and community engagement relevant to the interest and character of each particular neighbourhood and work with elected Members on ways of increasing public attendance and engagement.
The importance of the use of the internet and Social Media (e.g. Facebook and Twitter) as a means of communication and consultation had been recognised and officers regularly used digital media as a means of engagement alongside meetings, events and activities. To date the Keighley Area Co-ordinator’s Office had 618 followers on Twitter and 178 members of its new Facebook group since it was created on 5 October 2016.
Resolved –
That the constructive engagement with a wide range of the public undertaken through community engagement activities by the Keighley Area Co-ordinator’s Office in the period October 2016 – March 2017 be noted.
