Public Question for Local Council
A public question on any issue can be asked by any member of the public at a Full Council meeting. However, public questions need to be passed through the democratic services department at any local council as they will be answered by the cabinet member for the specific area. You will then be given a right of reply. Public questions are a good way for a member of the public to highlight a particular issue as these meetings are usually attended by journalists looking for stories.

Public questions must be kept short, here is a good example below:
In the light of the current economic circumstances many of the most vulnerable in [City/District] are in danger of falling prey and becoming dependant on “Legal Loan Sharks”. Will this council help to further promote mutual alternatives such as Credit Unions and support the national “End Legal Loan Sharking” campaign?
