Councillor Vikki Slade, the Leader of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council, will engage with residents during a live Question and Answer (Q&A) session next week.
The session will be broadcast on Wednesday 18 October, from 12 noon.
The session is open to questions on any subject.
Councillor Slade said:
"Over the last few weeks many residents have engaged with our current corporate strategy consultation and shared some great ideas to help us shape the council’s priorities and objectives.
"Cabinet members have spoken to lots of residents at roadshows, so I know there are lots of great questions people want to ask and many great ideas people are keen to share.
"We are all aware of the big challenges ahead, from the cost-of-living crisis to the climate emergency, and I welcome the chance to talk about how we are tackling these in the next Live Q&A session.
"Whether you want to ask me about Christmas lights, our new Towns Team campaign, or learn more about some of the highway improvements happening this Autumn, I would encourage you to tune in and send in your questions."
Questions can be submitted in advance via: LiveQandA@bcpcouncil.gov.uk or through comments on BCP Council’s social media posts.
There will also be the opportunity for people to ask questions during the Q&A within the comments section and have them answered in real-time.
The session will be broadcast across the council’s main social media channels including on youtube.com/bcpcouncil and is available to watch later for those unable to tune in live.
