Not the usual voices. Not the loudest voices. Yours.
A Citizens’ Assembly is a group of people who are selected like a jury. They are chosen in a way that reflects the wider population. This ensures the assembly includes a fair mix of ages, incomes, and characteristics from across the community.
Soon, thousands of invites will be sent to homes in Dunfermline. These letters will provide information about the Assembly. They will include details including the dates the Assembly will meet. In addition, the letter will contain the question being posed to the eventual participants.
Everyone who receives a letter will then be able to register their interest and put their name forward. Those who are selected to take part will also be paid for their time. This is to reduce barriers to entry.
