Virtual Town Hall Event

Virtual Town Hall event

To all Breckland Members,

As you will have heard from the Leader’s announcements at Council, an online event is being organised in partnership between Breckland Council and the EDP. It will provide an opportunity for residents to ask about key issues impacting their towns and villages, their lives and their livelihoods, and hear what the council and its partners are doing to make Breckland a thriving place to live and work.

The ‘Virtual Town Hall’ event will take place online via a Microsoft Teams teleconference meeting, with a recording made available after the event for those unable to watch live. It will be held 6-7pm on Tuesday, 4 March.

During the live event, Cllr Sam Chapman-Allen, Leader of Breckland Council, will take questions from Ian Clarke, the EDP’s Executive Editor.

To help shape the interview questions, members of the public are being invited to submit suggested questions in advance of the meeting directly to the EDP. The EDP’s independent journalists will then select the key questions or those with a common theme to ask during the meeting, alongside their own questions. There will also be an opportunity for residents to submit additional questions during the meeting, as time allows.

The questions asked during the meeting will be managed by the EDP’s journalists – councillors and council staff will not have control over which questions are asked during the event. Members of the public wishing to suggest a question can do so by emailing Ian.Clarke@newsquest.co.uk in advance of the meeting.

 Members are asked to help make residents aware of the meeting and to encourage them to register to attend online at www.breckland.gov.uk/virtual-town-hall. They will be sent an email with a link to join the meeting closer to the event. Please don’t forget to register yourself if you would also like to attend.

If you have any questions, please contact the Communications team
