Consultation has concluded
Update:
Thank you to everyone who took part in the consultation. Read the consultation update at the bottom of the page for details of how respondents influenced the Member Champion roles.
Member Champions are Elected Members who act as an advocate or spokesperson for a specific area of the Council’s business. The main responsibility of each Member Champion is to encourage communication and positive action over the issue they represent.
Member Champions are outward-facing, enthusiastic, and focused on raising the profile of the issue they champions.
We need your help to identify the issues the public would like the Member Champions to represent. For this we are asking for you to identify what you believe are the priority issues in Hartlepool so that we can identify Member Champion roles that will be taken up by Elected Members.
Once identified each Member Champion role will have a job description and role requirements and the Member Champions take on this role in addition to their usual duties as Elected Members.
Take the short survey below to give us your views on which causes should be represented in the Member Champion roles. The closing date for responses is Wednesday 22nd September 2021.

Following input from the survey, the Committee decided that the Member Champion roles should be allocated to the Chair or Vice Chair of the appropriate Committee, unless it is considered more appropriate for another member of that Committee to be appointed to the role.
A number of suggestions for potential new roles were received in the survey, most particularly the idea of creating an environmental or climate change champion, which was suggested several times. However, the Committee felt that this role should be across all the committees rather than falling on one individual.
