CITY of Greater Dandenong wants to hear from residents with disabilities.
Relatives, carers and the general public can also speak out through Our Say about what it’s like to live with a disability in Greater Dandenong.
The online forum is a way to table concerns, experiences and stories to influence the council’s Disability Action Plan.
Forum visitors can vote for their favourite comments, and the council will invite the top five submitters to appear in a video that will be shown on the Harmony Square big screen.
The forum closes at 5pm on Monday 31 August.
To participate, visit http://oursay.org/greaterdandenong/disability or call 9020 4503 to access interactive voice recognition technology.
