1 source assessed · methodology
Residents in Golders Green and across the country are invited to participate in a national survey designed to gather public opinion on water management. The initiative, titled 'Finding Common Ground on Water', is utilising Polis software to collect ideas and suggestions on a range of issues, including pollution from sewage, aging infrastructure, rising bills, and the impacts of floods and drought.
The online survey remains open for responses until November 19. Participants can engage with proposed questions and contribute their own suggestions. The Polis software is designed to compile thousands of responses into usable documents that can inform policy decisions and advocate for solutions.

About the Polis Software
The Polis software has been previously employed in Taiwan to facilitate public input on significant policy matters, notably informing decisions regarding Uber's operational entry onto the island. Its application in the 'Finding Common Ground on Water' initiative aims to create a broad and inclusive discussion on water issues, reflecting diverse perspectives across different age groups and political viewpoints.
The organisers state that transparent, scaled data generated from the survey will be used to engage with government bodies, institutions, corporations, and community groups. The goal is to encourage action to protect and future-proof the nation's water resources. Dorothea Hackman, chair of the Camden Civic Society, is among those encouraging public participation.
