Steering Group
The role of the steering group has been to agree the areas of focus for the assembly, to oversee the delivery of the assembly including expected behavioural protocols and, and at the conclusion of the assembly when the recommendations are presented to a meeting of full council on behalf of the borough, this group will provide a collective response. The group will also oversee the development of the citizens’ assembly’s recommendations into a borough-wide climate action plan. It will also play a role in overseeing the communications plan for the assembly.
