Destination City is holding its first public event on November 7, and proposing to establish a residents panel to input to the programme. While useful, it seems unlikely that it will on its own fulfil the commitment of the City's policy chief, Chris Hayward, to more substantial engagement, At a June City Question Time Policy Chief Chris Hayward said: “if you feel we’re not consulting widely enough on Destination City, or the more engagement residents could have, we want to know how precisely we do it … we want Destination City to be owned by the residents as much as by anybody else.” This is a suggestion in response to that invitation.
