PEOPLE can quiz the leader of Dudley Council next week when he puts himself in the hot seat.

Residents can put questions to councillor Patrick Harley via Facebook live between 6pm and 7pm on Wednesday (September 27).

He will be interviewed by the deputy leader of the council, Councillor David Vickers.

The pair will also be discussing some of the key issues including housing, regeneration and the recent Ofsted praise for children’s services.

Cllr Harley said: “We are always looking for new ways to talk to people and discuss ideas with communities. This really is a ground-breaking initiative for councils nationally and I am really looking forward to Dudley leading the way.

“People will be able to ask questions on any of the big ticket subjects at the moment from free car parking to some of the exciting developments we have on the drawing board at the moment.

“It should be a really useful and interesting night.”
