Bedford Borough Council is looking to recommence the Citizens' Panel Survey and we would like as many residents as possible to register their interest in taking part in the 2023 Citizens' Panel Survey.

How to have your say

We are seeking the views of residents to help shape key decisions taken by the authority.

Complete an online form below to register your interest.

By completing this form, you are agreeing to receive surveys on local issues sent by Bedford Borough Council and for your information to be processed in accordance with the privacy notice at the bottom of each page.

As a panel member, you will be asked to take part in an annual survey (on occasion, this may be more than once a year). Your responses on local issues can make a big difference to key decisions that are taken by the Council.

The Citizens' Panel was established in 1999 and is used to gather public ideas and opinions on a range of topics that relate to Bedford Borough Council and the services we provide.

Should you wish to be removed from the panel you can email citizenspanel@bedford.gov.uk at any time.
