Why doesn’t Whittlesey have ‘Town Hall’ meetings – mainly an ‘American Term
What is the purpose of townhall meetings?
The purpose of town hall meetings is for local and regional officials to hear the community’s views on public issues.
There have been no specific rules or guidelines for holding a town hall meeting. The format of the meetings can vary.
Way back in 2008/09, I was asked by the Police to organise meetings for them here in Whittlesey, every 3 months, so that the public could see and ask face-to face with our Police Force. Some 6 months later, I and my team had expanded it to include many other organisations. Unfortunately, I was not a Councillor at the time, and others took it over – it lasted leass that 2 meetings and was no more.
I have suggested to some that they may wish to start one again.?
