The award, now in its third year, recognises city councils’ success in involving their citizens in local governance. Newcastle was the winner of the Participation award for its &lt;em style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal&quot;&gt;Udecide project&lt;/em&gt;. Aimed at scaling up &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;citizens’ participation, this scheme enables city residents to take part in discussions and decisions on a wide range of community projects and encourages contact between the city’s different residential groups. Further details on the Newcastle scheme are available from: Maggie McKenna (&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:maggie.mckenna@newcastle.gov.uk&quot;&gt;maggie.mckenna@newcastle.gov.uk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;) or visit website: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.newcastle.gov.uk/udecide&quot;&gt;http://www.newcastle.gov.uk/udecide&lt;/a&gt;
