Members of the panel can receive up to three surveys per year on a range of topics, services and issues.
Engagement and Participation
Our Participation and Engagement Strategy has been developed to outline the steps we will take as a council to keep people well-informed about our services.
We want to build trusting relationships within our local communities and improve our accessibility and accountability to local people.
Active Travel and Climate Change
Active travel plays a crucial role in decarbonising transport and reducing pollution, while at the same time having a range of benefits for public health and the economy. Walking, wheeling and cycling are the ultimate low emissions options.

Bridgend Net Zero Strategy
In 2021, BCBC developed its Net Zero Carbon Strategy, in collaboration with the Carbon Trust, which was formally adopted by the Cabinet in January 2023. The Strategy outlined six priority action plans covering carbon management, buildings, transport, procurement, land use and waste, alongside governance arrangements to support delivery.
This strategy has been updated following the 2024 review, which assessed progress against the Strategy’s objectives, updating emissions modelling, and refined action plans to ensure they remain aligned with Welsh and UK policy.
Closing date: 12 January 2026
