Ask your MP/councillor these questions

Example survey:

Common Good Awareness Project 2010 – Survey

Dear Councillor (Change details – your councillor, your area, who you are)

So as to inform wider public civic engagement in Glasgow, could you please explain:

• What Glasgow City Council’s ‘Common Good Fund’ (CGF) is?

• What your responsibilities are regarding the CGF?

• What you think the CGF should be?

Yours, faithfully
Bob Hamilton.

Background:
(This email is being sent out to each Glasgow Councillor. Results of the survey will be distributed via community media news sheets and community radio.)

The idea is to inform citizens of how their council representatives understand their responsibilities regarding the common good fund of the city

The Common Good Awareness Project 2010 was set up by a group of people who believe the common good fund, if properly handled with openness and fairness could be an important tool useful in helping to create community inclusion and pride through the idea of common ownership.
