Q. What is Aberdeen City Voice?

A. Aberdeen City Voice is a panel of Aberdeen City residents. We contact them on a regular basis to ask for their views on a wide range of issues that affect the community. At the moment over 1000 residents are on the City Voice Panel and we send them 3 questionnaires a year. The City Voice is supported by Aberdeen’s Community Planning Partnership so it covers a wide range of topics.

Q. Why should I join Aberdeen City Voice?

A. Its very important that the panel represents the whole of Aberdeen’s population so we are now calling for more panelists to join. The results of these questionnaires are used to shape policy, measure performance and plan future service delivery. Basically, it tells the service providers what they are doing right and what they could be doing better!

Panel members also receive a copy of a newsletter that updates them on past City Voice questionnaires and more importantly, what the service providers are going to do with the results!

The panel is open to all those resident within the City boundaries aged 16+ .If you want to make your voice heard on a wide range of issues affecting your community, please contact Email: cityvoice@aberdeencity.gov.uk or telephone: 01224 522421 or www.aberdeencityvoice.org.uk
