Torfaen County Borough Council, UK

Torfaen’s Citizen Space site

Torfaen aren’t new to Delib; they’ve had Citizen Space since 2017 (hooray!). However, they’ve recently bought Dialogue. Rather than traditional organisation-led consultation, Dialogue is a discursive tool for hosting constructive conversations online. Organisations post challenges that they’d like public input on, and respondents share, rate and comment on ideas.

Coillte are a Republic of Ireland state-owned commercial forestry business, and have recently subscribed to Citizen Space.

Hume City Council have recently bought Simulator to get the public’s insight on how the Council should allocate its budget. Respondents move sliders left and right to allocate or remove funds from different Council services. It’s a well thought-out Simulator with plenty of information and consequences for each slider move.
