Leader in live questions and answers session
People will be able to put their questions to two senior Dudley Council figures in a special screened debate.
The leader and deputy leader of Dudley Council will be answering questions from the public in a live broadcast on Facebook on September 9.
Councillor Patrick Harley and Councillor David Vickers will be discussing key issues such as the council’s response to the coronavirus pandemic as well as major achievements in recent weeks with regeneration projects.
People will be able to put their questions to them via the council’s Dudley Borough Facebook page and hear the answers via the live video.
It is the latest in a series of live question and answers session but the first during the coronavirus pandemic. The September round of Community Forums have been put back to next year as the council continues to work to keep people safe, but this live session will mean people will still get the chance to raise issues and discuss concerns with key decision-makers.
Councillor Patrick Harley, leader of Dudley Council, said:
"It’s important we make sure we continue to listen to local people, especially during these very challenging times. The Facebook live sessions allow us to share important information with people while at the same time making sure we continue to work with people to improve communities.
"I hope people will be able to join us for the hour-long session."
The live session runs from 6-7pm and people need to visit the Dudley Borough Facebook page to take part or watch the live stream.
The community forums are due to resume in January next year, but community groups are welcome to apply for funding of up to £5,000 from the forums. Decisions will be made by members before the next round of forums.
