Council steps up public involvement HARTLEPOOL Council reaffirmed its commitment to involving the public in local decision making at a meeting of the Full Council last night (Tuesday 23 May). Councillors debated the various opportunities that the public can participate in to influence the democratic process following a review undertaken by the Councils Constitution Working Group. Councillors voted in favour of Full Council meetings continuing on evenings and agreed that members of the public can continue to submit two questions at each Full Council meeting. Members of the public will also be able to continue to quiz policy committee chairs at meetings. Neighbourhood Forums are to be renamed Community Forums which will provide a focal point for local consultation on the provision of Council services and neighbourhood issues. In between the two forums known as North Coastal and South Central the public will be given a further opportunity to quiz the Councils five policy committee chairs.
