Question Time

You have a chance to ask about local service at every meeting during Question Time, which forms part of the meeting. People wanting to ask questions are asked to fill in the question sheet before the meeting starts. You can get the sheet before the day from libraries, customer service centres, pick one up at the meeting before it starts or use the online form.

Please hand your sheet to Carolyn Eaton at the meeting. Please note that questions sent via the online form must arrive before noon on the day of the meeting.

Are you interested in how safe and clean your streets are, new facilities in your area - or new events or activities?

Droylsden District Assembly looks after many Council services and gives you a voice in your town.

We have responsibility for services that have a real impact on people's quality of life, from keeping our streets clean and litter free to making sure our parks are desirable places to visit. In addition to these vital services we also hold public meetings where local people can ask questions about any council service or can listen to what is going on in Droylsden.

Our District Assembly meets every few weeks. Every day, teams of Assembly staff are out and about making the streets cleaner and safer and working with others to provide more services and activities in our town.

So we hope you'll come along and get involved.
