Review of Westminster City Council's Resident Engagement Structure

19/01/2022 - Review of Westminster City Council's Resident Engagement Structure

1.     Recommendations

1.1.That the Cabinet Member approves implementation of the proposed approach to resident engagement for 2022-25 (Appendix 1) by way of a statement of decision.

Over the coming months the planned approach to implementation would involve working step by step with involved residents to pilot Local Briefings, revitalise our email survey group (Westminster Housing Online), and establish the Policy and Performance Group. Residents on the Policy and Performance Group would then help prioritise topics or projects to be undertaken by future working groups.

1.2.That the Cabinet Member approves the content of the Consultation Findings Report for communication with residents and other stakeholders (Appendix 3).

2.     Reasons for Decision 

2.1.To allow implementation of robust and flexible new formal resident engagement options that will facilitate effective consultation with residents on the housing service, and

2.2.To allow communication of the consultation outcome and planned approach to residents and other stakeholders.
