About

This all-in-one participation platform is an initiative of Thanet District Council and can be used for different public consultation processes: collecting ideas, voting, discussing, surveys, polls, participatory budgeting, online mapping, scenario planning, support for advisory boards and committees, ...

On the home page, you'll see which processes are active and which phase they are currently in.

• How do I sign in on the platform?

Signing in is done easily by giving your first name and last name and your e-mail address. Only your first name and last name will be visible to other users.

• Can I participate as an association/organisation/committee?

Yes, that's possible. Given that only your first name and last name are visible to others on the platform, you could as an alternative use or include your organisation's name while setting up your profile.

• Why would I use this platform and not create a website myself?

A team of dedicated developers and specialists in online participation (Go Vocal, commissioned by Thanet District Council) is improving and updating this platform on a daily basis. Even the smallest bug gets tackled immediately and if you have creative proposals, they can help you pointing out which features of the platform can be used for this or which ones are in the pipeline.
