Bristol City Council - Guide to eConsultation methods
A guide to read online or download ...
There are plenty of barriers to eConsultation but one of the greatest can be a lack of easy-to-grasp and impartial information about what to do, how to do it and why.
North East Connects commissioned Bristol City Council's Consultation and eParticipation Team to research and write this Guide to eConsultation methods.
The guide aims to plug the gap by providing officers who want to kick-start or speed-up eConsultation within their authorities with comprehensive but straight forward details and hopefully, a little fun and inspiration too!
