Who is on the democracy commission?
The democracy commission consists of seven councillors representing all three political groups: Labour, Liberal Democrats and Conservative.
They are: Cllr Abdul Mohamed (Chair), Cllr Anood Al-Samerai, Cllr Columba Blango, Cllr Mark Glover, Cllr Michael Mitchell, Cllr Helen Morrissey and Cllr Cleo Soanes.
The commission involves residents and community leaders by conducting surveys, holding public meetings, focus groups, and arranging events to gather your opinions. Its members listen to what you have to say and aim to ensure your views are heard and responded to.
You have elected councillors to represent you, so make sure you have your say on the decisions the council makes on your behalf. It's your council, your call.
The next meeting of the democracy commission will take place at Southwark Town Hall, Peckham Road, London SE5 8UB, on Wednesday 3 August 2011 at 7pm.
