Councillor Carl Poole, who chairs the South Panel said, "It is important that local residents come together to influence their futures to help make communities sustainable. It is equally important that Councils do their bit to help these local areas to develop effectively and understand what their potential is. I am really looking forward to hearing the difference we can all make."

Each Neighbourhood Panel is made up of Parish, District and County Councillors along with community representatives invited to become Panel members, together with managers from public service agencies.
