Bristol City Council is planning to roll out an online form for people to post questions and statements for councillors to consider during public meetings.
It said the move follows a successful trial in autumn of last year, in which residents quickly adopted the new approach for full council meetings in November and December.
The form will now be rolled out for use across all public meetings, aimed at making it easier for Bristol residents to have their say on council matters.
Cllr Tony Dyer, leader of the council, said: “It’s great to see the full implementation of this web form following a successful trial run last year.
“Fostering meaningful engagement with the public is an essential part of our role as a local authority and remains a cornerstone of local democracy. To ensure we continue to act in Bristol’s best interests, it’s essential that we do whatever we can to make the process of asking questions and holding us to account a smooth and accessible experience for residents.
“Today’s launch represents our modern, more transparent approach to local government, and with that, I would encourage everyone wanting to have their voice heard to give this new form a try.”
