To ask the Scottish Government when the Democracy Matters steering group last met; what current work it is undertaking, and when it anticipates that the next stage of Democracy Matters will commence.
The Democracy Matters steering group last met on 11 June 2025. The steering group is focused on developing the views that communities shared during the Democracy Matters engagement process into practical models for democratic decision-making.
The Programme for Government outlined that, as part of the conclusion of our joint review of local governance with COSLA, by the end of the Parliament we will publish a blueprint for community decision-making models.
