ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ Question Time is back for another year, giving residents an opportunity to ask questions about topics important to them. The event, now in its 20th year, will take place from 7pm to 9pm on Wednesday 19 March in the Town Hall.

ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ Question Time takes the form of an independently chaired general debate and discussion. There are no set topics so attendees can raise any areas or concerns for discussion, such as community safety, planning, health, Gatwick Airport, parking or the economy.

Provisionally, this year’s panel will be:

  • Councillor Michael Jones, Leader, ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ Borough Council
  • Councillor Yasmin Khan, Cabinet member for Public Protection
  • Councillor Duncan Crow, Opposition Leader, ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ Borough Council
  • Lola Banjoko, Deputy Chief Integration & Primary Care Officer and Director of Joint Commissioning, NHS Sussex
  • Fouzia Harrington, Director of Joint Commissioning and Integrated Community Team Development (West Sussex), NHS Sussex
  • Superintendent Imran Asghar, Sussex Police
  • Elijah Norton, Youth Mayor

The event will be hosted by Steve Sawyer, Executive Director of Manor Royal Business District.

This is the opportunity for ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ residents to ask us directly any questions about topics they are concerned about or would simply like more information on. I would like to thank the rest of the panel for attending and Steve for hosting this year’s event.

Councillor Michael Jones

Leader of ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ Borough Council

The event is open to everyone - the public, business leaders and partner organisations. The views and comments expressed will help the council and others to plan work on improving services and the town in general.

Parking is available at the Town Hall multi-storey car park on Exchange Road. A flat rate of £2.10 applies in the evening (6pm to midnight). Parking is also available at Kingsgate multi-storey car park opposite the Town Hall. A flat rate of £2.50 applies.
