Councillor Bella Sankey, Leader of Brighton and Hove City Council, is holding her next ward surgery at Patcham Community Centre on Tuesday 3 November, and residents can book an appointment slot now.
The surgery runs from 1pm to 3pm at the centre on Ladies’ Mile Road, BN1 8TA, in Patcham & Hollingbury ward, the council says. It is the latest in a series that gives residents the chance to share ideas, raise concerns or ask questions directly to the leader.
The surgery at a glance
Slots are by appointment, so it is worth booking before you turn up. Here are the key details in one place.
How to book a slot
The council asks residents to download and complete its leader’s ward surgery action sheet. It is a Word document, and the council says you must save your own copy to your computer before you can edit it.
What to include. The form asks for your name, address and email address, the main issue you want to raise, such as Housing, Benefits, Debt or Parking, as specific as you can be, and the outcome you are hoping for. You must also complete the consent and data protection notice on page 3.
Where to send it. The council’s action sheet page says to email the completed sheet to Anthony.Carroll@brighton-hove.gov.uk.
No email? Call 07717 303 127 and leave a voicemail with your name and phone number. The council says someone will call you back to arrange a time.
Need another format? The council says the document may not suit assistive technology, and you can ask for an accessible version through its website contact form.
Where to find it
Patcham Community Centre is on Ladies’ Mile Road, Patcham, and shares a building with Patcham Library, as the sign on the front of the building shows.
The library inside the building was photographed in June 2018, so the layout may have changed since.
The leader’s tour of the city
According to the council, surgeries in this series have already been held in 16 wards, from Brunswick & Adelaide to Woodingdean. Patcham & Hollingbury is the next on the list.
We covered the previous surgery in the series, at Jubilee Library in West Hill & North Laine ward, in our Jubilee Library surgery article.
What the Leader says
Councillor Sankey said:
“I’m looking forward to speaking with residents and learning more about what is important to them in Patcham & Hollingbury and across the city.
“As a council, we are committed to maintaining an open dialogue with our communities, and leader surgeries provide a good opportunity for residents to raise concerns, share experiences and contribute ideas that can help shape the future of our city.
“I would encourage anyone who would like a conversation about their area, the city as a whole, or any challenges they are facing to come along and have their say.”
Councillor Bella Sankey, Leader of Brighton and Hove City Council
