The meeting opened with a welcoming speech from the council president, who praised the growing role of council members in addressing community realities and providing initiatives that serve residents. He emphasised that the council draws its vision from the directives of wise leadership, which always aims for community councils to be bridges for communication and genuine platforms for listening to citizens' voices.
Effective Communication with Residents
Among the key agenda items discussed was the mechanism for enhancing effective communication with residents through organizing continuous field visits to residential areas within the suburb. This aims to closely assess the needs of residents, listen directly to their observations and demands, and study them in coordination with relevant authorities to ensure timely and qualitative responses.
Identifying Family Cases
The council also discussed methods to identify family cases needing special follow-up. Several social files recently reported to the council were reviewed, and members stressed the need for a comprehensive methodology in studying these cases in collaboration with specialized entities to provide appropriate support and ensure family stability within the community.
Promoting Community Awareness
In this context, the meeting explored ways to enhance community culture and raise awareness among residents about the council's role and responsibilities. This will be achieved through launching media campaigns and educational programs aimed at informing the local community about the council’s services, encouraging community participation, and reinforcing the concept of shared social responsibility and community development.
Involving Different Community Segments
The council also discussed the importance of involving various community segments, especially youth, in volunteer programs and community initiatives through future action plans that include field activities, awareness workshops, and educational programs. These efforts aim to foster a sense of belonging and initiative among the suburb’s youth.
In conclusion, the council president affirmed that the upcoming phase will witness the implementation of a package of community initiatives reflecting the council's commitment to being an active center for interacting with local community issues, promoting integration among community members and official entities, thereby contributing to the Department of Suburb Affairs' vision of building cohesive communities characterized by stability, awareness, and solidarity.
