Leader Live success
The leader and deputy leader of the council took live questions from residents in a one- hour facebook live session last night.
People put more than 100 questions to Councillor Patrick Harley and Councillor Paul Bradley on Wednesday 21 May in the latest Leader Live session.
The session ran until 7pm. Both senior politicians answered as many questions as time permitted in a live video which is available to view on the page permanently. https://www.facebook.com/DudleyBorough/videos/1222980359318399
At its peak there were around 150 people watching live and the video has now had more than 10,000 views.
Councillor Patrick Harley, leader of Dudley Council, said:
“One of the seven themes of our one year council plan is community engagement and it was really interesting and useful to hear from our residents about issues which matter to them.
“Lots of different topics came up and we did our best to answer as many as we could on the night. I would encourage resident to use subsequent leader live sessions to let us know what matters to them, but also remind people that you can contact your local councillor whenever you have an issue they can help with and also come along to one of our community forums which restart in June.”
The Leader Live sessions have been running since 2018 and give people the chance to raise issues that matter to them and complement the community forums which meet at venues across the borough. The five forums are set to return in the summer
