Residents and Council Cabinet break new ground in open Question Time
In a ground-breaking move, the council's first open informal question time session proved successful, as residents Rodney Bowles and Peter Warmsley engaged in in-depth discussions with the full Cabinet, raising their concerns and proposing items for further investigation.
The session, held at the council offices on Wednesday night, set a positive tone for future interactions between local residents and portfolio holders. Among the attendees were Cllrs Anne Dorrian, Dale Broughton, Sandeep Ghosh, Emma Cresswell, Sarah Sharpe, Andy Izard, Callum Butler, and John Baxter.
Council leader, Anne Dorrian, expressed gratitude, stating, "I extend my sincere thanks to residents Rodney Bowles and Peter Warmsley for their thoughtful engagement during the open question session. The input of local people is invaluable, and we look forward to further collaboration as we seek to deliver on our promise made at the election - that we want to be a council that is inclusive, attentive and transparent."
The next open informal question time session at Boston Borough Council will be held from 6pm on Wednesday 16th January 2024, following this session those in attendance of the session will be invited to stay and watch the council meeting if they wish to do so. Please note that members of the public can still submit formal questions to any committee of the council, and they have to arrive two clear working days before the day of the meeting.
