Council is keen to hear the views of local residents on issues which are of concern to them. You can present your ideas and opinions to Council in a number of ways:

  1. Contact your local Councillor
  2. Write to Council if you have an issue
  3. Present a question to a Council Meeting through the use of public question time. This is a 15-minute period for public questions held at the beginning of each Council Meeting.
