Making a difference to local issues and shaping local services

The Participate Panel is Cheshire West and Chester Council’s online citizens’ panel.

The Panel is a cross-section of local people, who volunteer to take part in regular research and engagement activities, to help us understand residents’ views and ideas about a range of important issues.

Feedback from the Panel makes a real difference to the local area, by helping the Council to make better informed decisions and shape Council services to meet the needs of local people.    

Panel engagement activities cover a variety of topics, including health and wellbeing, the environment and the local economy, to help us improve the lives of everyone in the borough.

There are over 1,200 Panel members from all over west Cheshire and the makeup of the Panel reflects the local adult population.  It is important we hear from a wide range of residents and you are welcome to join at any time.
