Transparency and communication are vital to growing our small community and modern tools such as facebook provide a means of doing this. It is our vision that you as a citizen would use this group to bring ideas or questions to everyone and that the membership of the group could comment, in response. It is also our hope that members of the town council will be members of the group and read these r
esponses allowing them to be informed of current issues, problems and ideas that the community has. It is also our vision that this tool can be an instrument for the town council to post meeting minutes or throw challenging questions back to the membership for opinion. We beleive that Dalmeny is filled with bright minds and talented individuals from the entire age spectrum. Leveraging this is essential for good decision making and allowing the peoples voice to be heard. You the people and citizens of Dalmeny can take charge over direction and support the elected individuals that administer the town through your input and valuable insight. What this tool in facebook is NOT meant to be is a means of complaint or ridicual. Each posting should refelct a concern and an idea for overcoming that concern. We must be productive and proactive to create positive change. Negative postings are likely, but please make every effort to follow your concern with a positive suggestion. If we all use this tool as this vision has outlayed, Dalmeny will grow and the people we elected will be supported in a positive way.
