We recently asked our and here’s how the votes came in:

🖥 Government website – 33%
📱 Social media platforms – 33%
🏛 Community meetings – 30%
❓ Other – 4%

While the results are close, they tell an important story: engagement is no longer one-dimensional.

🔹 websites remain a trusted and formal channel - offering structure, accessibility, and a digital record of feedback. But a user-friendly platform and proper promotion are essential for participation.

🔹 platforms are quickly rising in importance - providing real-time, informal, and more inclusive ways to interact with the public, particularly younger or underrepresented demographics.

🔹 meetings, although less favoured by percentage, still hold deep value for direct, human connection, especially when discussing complex or sensitive issues. They build and allow for meaningful two-way dialogue.

A standout comment from our network reminded us of the power of being physically present in people’s everyday environments: “Being present at public events, schools, train stations and shopping centres.”
This highlights a shift towards proactive, visible outreach.

At , we work with councils and government bodies to source Engagement Officers, Communications Advisors, and Community Development professionals who know how to blend digital strategies with grassroots presence, ensuring every voice has a chance to be heard.
