Let’s Talk Politics
Did you know you can Talk Politics and Get Involved in local decision making?
There’s lots of ways you can do this, and it can be about specific issues or you can ask your Councillors general questions:
- e-Petition Brighton & Hove City Council
- ask a question at a meeting
- send a deputation (i.e. a group of your friends and colleagues with an issue they want to raise) to a meeting
- get in contact with your local Councillor and get them to do it for you!
Brighton & Hove Issues Forum is an online network of local people discussing local issues which is open to anyone to join.
You can watch Council, Cabinet, Planning and Overview & Scrutiny meetings on our live and archived webcast service.
Want more help?
Democratic Services and Brighton & Hove City Council is responsible for overseeing arrangements for Councillors and meetings, so if you have any questions or need advice contact us on 01273 291066 or email democratic.services@brighton-hove.gov.uk
If this has inspired you to Get Involved locally, how about getting involved nationally?
Did you know you can e-Petition the Government? Number10.gov.uk is a great place to get started and you can ask the PM a question, sign a petition or set up your own petition.
If you want general information about local and national government in the UK, try direct.gov.uk which has a range of information and advice relating to local and national government services.
You probably know that the BBC has a politics microsite, but did you know they have a democracy live website which has live webcasts of what’s going on in parliament, guides on politics and how to get involved, and social networking debates – a bit like our Get Involved website actually…
