Bexhill Town Forum at DLWP

Members of the audience will be able to quiz a panel of councillors and others on the subject of recreation and leisure in Bexhill.

If successful, the format will be employed at other forum meetings, each focussing on a specific topic for discussion.

Sponsored by Hastings Local, the Bexhill-based walk-in branch of insurance giant Hastings Direct, the forum has been booked for the next four meetings at the Pavilion.

A recent change in the constitution of the forum now allows for any member of the public to attend meetings and vote on proposals.

Anyone wishing to ask a question should submit it to the forum in advance, but supplementary questions will also be taken from the audience.

Bexhill Town Forum chairman Paul Plim said: "This is your chance to ask the councillors who represent you what they are doing to make Bexhill a better place to live and work in.

"I think holding the council to account is an important part of the forum's role, but we can only do that if people come along and participate.

"Creating this question panel element to the meeting is a really exciting development, so I would urge people to send in their questions and come to the meeting. We want people from all walks for life, young or old."

Questions for the panel can be sent in advance to [email protected]

The forum begins at 6.30pm and will finish no later than 8.30pm.
