Cooperative council citizens' commission
The cooperative council citizens' commission was set up to work with citizens, partners, politicians and other groups who are interested and/or likely to be affected by the council's proposals.
The first meeting of the commission included Councillor Steve Reed, Councillor Jackie Meldrum and Councillor Paul McGlone (three members of Lambeth's cabinet) and the focus of this meeting was on the organisation and running of the commission.
We also approached a number of people who are independent of the council – some of which are residents, to join the commission. All have vast experience and knowledge of delivering services in a range of ways and can offer guidance, advice and challenge proposals put forward during this process.
The commission's goal was to gather opinion from a wide range of people about how the co-operative council might work in practice, and what services would benefit from a co-operative approach. This process was managed by our corporate policy team.
