At Democracy Day this Thursday we’ll be opening up our Councillors Café to social media users. From 2pm – 3pm councillors will be answering questions online.
Post your questions to Twitter from 1pm tomorrow and we’ll put them to councillors attending the event. Questions should be sent to us using @BrightonHoveCC or the hashtag #DemocracyDay.
Longer answers will be posted on this page and linked to from Twitter. Follow our Twitter stream at http://twitter.com/BrightonHoveCC
BEEcycle asked:@BrightonHoveCC How do you currently dispose of any glass waste in and around Brighton?
Cllr Ann Norman: Glass waste is collected on a fortnightly basis from residential properties. It has to be kept separate from other recyclable materials. In addition there are recycling points situated in various locations in the city where glass waste can be left.
After glass is collected it is taken to the Cityclean recycling depot in Hollingdean where it is sorted and subsequently sent on for reuse or to be recycled. Find out more about recycling on our recycling webpages.
andrewhancox asked: @BrightonHoveCC What would you say to anyone considering becoming a councillor?
Cllr Ann Norman: If you are interested in your local community and have some time to spend I recommend you find out a little bit more about the democratic process by looking on the Brighton & Hove website’s become a councillor pages. If you have any political allegiance, do try and find someone politically active that you know holds similar views to talk about your choice. Again you can find information for the main political parties on the council website or by contacting the local political office for the party you support.
