Frequently Asked Questions

 

Why should I get involved? 

 

This platform provides an opportunity for you to use your voice to influence local decisions. At Wealden District Council, we are committed to engaging with our communities on issues that really matter. From global issues like climate change, to more localised issues such as where you would like your polling station to be, we want to receive your contributions. By participating, you would be actively helping to improve your community. The more contributions we receive, the more informed our decisions will be, and the better served our communities will feel. If you would like to know more about how the Council engages with its residents, please read the communications and engagement strategy 2022.

  • Becoming part of the online community; 

  • Getting involved with, commenting on, and following multiple projects that you are interested in;  

  • Promoting your contributions amongst other users of the site, facilitating healthy debate 

  • Helping us to understand exactly who is using the site and their geographic location in the District, so that we can make more informed choices and target information effectively.

What are the rules for online engagement? 

At Wealden District Council, we want to ensure that everyone who wants to contribute is enabled to do so. However, where contributions breach moderation rules, we will act accordingly.  

The rules are administered by Bang the Table’s moderators, and they are designed to ensure a safe and constructive online space for community engagement. The moderation rules can be found here.
