Welcome to Newcastle Citizens Assembly
Newcastle Citizens Assembly is an exciting new way for anyone who lives, works or studies in Newcastle to get involved in improving their city.
It’s your chance to ‘be the change’.
Groups throughout the city can share their ideas for city-wide improvements in Newcastle. Then, together with key decision makers, they can help find solutions to bring about changes that will benefit the whole city.
The people of Newcastle will have a chance to show their support for a particular city-wide improvement they would like to see happen.
All aspects of life in the city are being considered from the economy, health and wellbeing and the environment to creating quality places to live, safer communities and improving the lives of children and young people.
