Amy Orton – local democracy reporter at the Leicester Mercury/ Leicestershire Online
Dr Nathalie MacDermott – Kings College London
Damien McGuinness – the Â鶹Éç’s Berlin correspondent
Alex Thomas – Programme director, The Institute for Government
Greg Fell - The Association of Directors of Public Health/ Sheffield City Council Director of Public Health
Dr Jilly Gibson-Miller – health psychologist at the University of Sheffield
