Vale of Glamorgan - Annual Delivery Plan 2021- 2022 GETTING INVOLVED There are lots of ways to influence decision making in the Council. You can get involved by joining our citizens’ panel, Vale Viewpoint, and participate in consultations on our work and that of our partners. Our Scrutiny Committees are open to the public and provide an opportunity to become involved in the Council’s activities. You can request a service area or matter to be considered by a Committee by completing a form. You can also register to speak at Scrutiny Committees by following the information on the Council’s website. More information about the Council’s Scrutiny Committees and how you can get involved is available. We welcome feedback about our work and you can contact us at: improvements@valeofglamorgan.gov.uk Policy & Business Transformation Service, Vale of Glamorgan Council, Civic Offices, Holton Road, Barry.
