Councillor surgeries are a great way to get your voice heard. They are an opportunity to open a dialogue with your local councillor and highlight key issues. If we mobilise as many people as possible to lobby on the same issues then we have a much better chance of breaking through and seeing real change in our borough.
Want to engage but not sure where to start? Here are some questions which we recommend as a great starting point for a discussion:
- Is the council being open about the impact of its actions on the environment?
- What is the Council doing to make the borough is carbon neutral by 2030?
- How will the Citizen’s Assembly (CA) be selected?
- Will the Citizen’s Assembly be legally binding? If not, why not?
- Which team will be responsible for implementing the CA recommendations?
- How is the Council promoting the Citizen’s Assembly to its constituents?
The borough is divided into wards, each of which has its own councillors who hold weekly, fortnightly or monthly surgeries. If you’re not sure which ward you live in then you can use our handy ward finder below. Otherwise select your ward from the list and scroll down for information about your local surgeries and councillors.
