Liverpool City Region residents will have the opportunity to put their questions directly to Mayor Steve Rotheram as part of a new series of live public Question Time events.
The first Mayoral Question Time will take place on Wednesday 3 June in Sefton, with former Granada Reports presenter Lucy Meacock hosting the discussion in front of a live audience of local residents.
The event marks the first in a new quarterly series that will be held in venues across all six local authority areas, giving residents regular opportunities to raise issues, ask questions and hear directly from the Mayor about the work being carried out across the city region.
Questions can be submitted in advance as part of the registration process, with additional live questions taken on the night. Residents will be able to raise topics ranging from transport and housing to jobs, regeneration and public services.
Steve Rotheram, Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, said:
“I’ve always believed politics works best when it feels open and accessible – not distant or behind closed doors.
“One of the biggest benefits of devolution is that it brings decision-making closer to the people it affects. That should mean more opportunities for residents to ask questions, challenge decisions and have a proper conversation about the issues that matter to them.
“I take questions every week on Radio Merseyside, and I wanted to build on that by creating something where people can come along, ask what they want, and hear directly from me about the work we’re doing across the City Region.
“We’ve achieved a lot together – from taking back control of our buses and introducing publicly owned trains, to creating jobs, building homes and backing local communities – but there’s always more to do.
“If people think we’ve got something right, that’s great. If they think we need to do better, I want to hear that too.”
Free tickets will be available from Monday 11 May, with residents able to submit a question when registering. Questions can also be emailed up to one week before the event.
Residents can register and find out more about how to submit a question by clicking here. For those unable to attend in person, the event will be streamed live.
