  • Public engagement: start more consultation through residents and community groups, this can be achieved through surveys or face to face consults.

    Ethnic communities' representation and engagement: make sure more ethic groups stand for community board roles and have a voice in local issues.

    Internal operations: council should restructure the way in which departments operate and how many people work in each department to save money.

  • Open meetings for most meetings.
