Ask Bristol
The views and opinions of citizens living in the Bristol region should be collected and discussed. In a further step, the discussion results are forwarded to government officials and media representatives. The goal is to thereby achieve the citizen-oriented design of future plans for the Bristol region.
Additional Description:
‘Askbristol.com’ is a website on which all types of issues affecting life in and around Bristol can be discussed. The overall project has no time restrictions. Decision makers are integrated into the discussion next to the general public. Current consultations concern questions related to the following issue areas: future plans for the city of Bristol, the health care system in Bristol, recycling management, traffic and transport, leisure and culture, and the municipal budget. Results of the consultations are forwarded to managers, government officials, council members, and media representatives to advance the discussion toward an outcome. At its conclusion, citizens are informed about the discussion project’s results. A further online participation offering is to take part in an online petition.
Supporters:
