Community Conversation
Have you got something to say about where you live? We want to hear your views about your local area, what matters to you and your ideas about the future.
About Community Conversations
Meet your local councillors for an engaging and interactive Community Conversation.
We invite residents, local businesses, and community organisations to come together and discuss ideas, concerns, and initiatives that can help enhance our vibrant neighbourhoods.
These events will enable you to discuss a number of key local issues with your councillors before moving onto an open Q&A.
The Community Conversations will be held as hybrid events, with residents able to join in person or watch an online stream of the event and submit questions via a digital platform.
Attendance is free, but registration is essential, as in person places are limited.
Instructions for joining online will be sent advance of the event via email to everyone registered.
