'Citizens Panels' were the flavour of the month a few years ago. Goodness knows what happened to them - probably quietly dropped as soon as the next fad came along.
And the whole point of Area Council meetings was to give the 'ordinary people' a voice. Any ordinary person who had a coherent enough voice quickly became a councillor and part of the system.
Cynical? Moi?
