A lot of people want to have their say about something or ask a question about what is going on locally. But most don't know how to do it or don't have the time. Many people find it hard to stand up at a meeting and ask. There is an opportunity on Monday evening to put your question about things going on locally to a group of councillors to get an answer, even without having to turn up.
You can ask about more or less anything local - from why the bin men don't put the lids back on the bins, through to the lorries in the Kings Cross gyratory or to complaining about a noisy pub. You won't necessarily get a magic answer but the councillors will discuss the issue, get the facts for you and often help you resolve a problem, confidentially if need be.
You can ask a question either by email (you will get a proper reply) or in person at the meeting of Islington's 'committee for things that happen in our part of Islington. Click here to send an email to the committee clerk who will get it answered for you. To ask in person , turn up at the Barnsbury Centre on Offord Road at 7:30 Monday evening 7th Jan (map here use the Offord Road entrance). Questions usually come pretty soon after the 7:30 start. There are some rules about questions here on the agenda.
You can leave after the questions if you like or stay to hear a discussion about what will happen to the Elizabeth Garret Anderson school site (they are going to build a new school a paper is here) or a presentation on local crime statistics (the paper here is baffling even to statisticians) or something on Islington and City Credit Union though I don't know what.
