The Peninsula Council would recognise the importance of local democracy: But what would it involve?
Democracy means government by the people, and the Peninsula Council would take this seriously. Peninsula Council staff would see themselves as servants of the community, and responsive to the local community, its representatives and its needs.
The council would encourage meaningful participation of residents in all aspects of local democracy as well as in the community life generally.
A community's ability to make the best decisions relies on it being well-informed. The council would facilitate communication and the exchange of information among community members, including by the language and form of documents it circulates and through its consultation processes.
For effective administration, the council's policies and strategies would be clear, meaningful and unambiguous, and easy to follow and enforce.
