We’re trying some new ways that customers can get involved and influence Board decisions. Each month we will be making a video blog on reports that are going to Board. 

We hope that by doing these short videos it will help customers learn and understand what we the Board do, and encourage customers to ask questions on reports that are going to Board that month.

Over the next few months you will see what a wide range of papers that the Board have to consider.  The topics can range from sometimes quite complicated reports on finance through to reports looking at environment issues or building new properties.  We will be summarising these to make it easier for customers to pick out what topics are relevant to them.  We hope this makes it easy for you to send in your comments or questions so we can include it in the discussion at the Board meeting.  This way we can make sure that Board decisions take account of a wider range of views.

After each Board meeting the Chair, Steve Murphy, will report back via this video blog to tell customers what decision have been made and why.

We hope this will help keep you informed but also encourage more of our customers to join our Board in the future.
