Citizens Panel
The Citizens’ Panel is a group of people from across the North East Derbyshire District Council area who regularly share their views on a wide range of important issues. This helps the Council to improve services and make the District an even better place to live.
Pane members receive around 4 questionnaires a year which take, on average, 10 minutes each to complete. The questionnaires can be filled in on-line or sent and returned via Freepost. The Panel receives regular feedback on any issues we have asked about in a newsletter provided with every new survey.
You can view past Citizens’ Panel surveys by visiting Ask Derbyshire our consultation website.
To join you must be a NEDDC resident who is over 16 and willing to take part in several surveys each year. You will need to provide some personal data upon joining. This is used solely to administer the panel and our Privacy Notice explains what we do with your information, how long we keep it and your right to withdraw your consent and leave the Panel at any time you choose.
