What can I ask?
Questions must be relevant to council services, but not be about individual/personal issues. Your question should be limited to one subject, but may have more than one part.
A supplementary question may also be asked at the meeting if it is related to the original question. Only questions which meet our criteria will be accepted.
Who will respond to my question?
Your question will be answered by the most appropriate person depending on what your question is about. This will be by the Executive Mayor, Portfolio Holder for the relevant service or the Committee Chairman.
