Consultation

What is our Residents' Panel'?

BMG Research recruit and manage a residents’ panel on our behalf; 'The South Staffordshire Viewpoint'. The panel is made up of around 1,000 residents from around the district.

We aim to consult the panel throughout the year, and we use the results to help us make policy decisions.

We also use the panel to conduct smaller surveys and focus groups.

Why a Residents' Panel?

Working with our panel means that we can find out the views of local people.

By working with our panel, we can find out about some of the important issues which are affecting our local communities and it also gives the panel a chance to tell us their views about the work we're doing.

The Panel isn't the only way we consult with and involve local people. Take a look and see what other issues we're consulting on at the moment through our 'Have Your Say' webpage.
