Cabinet Question Time To Be Held at West Thames College
Your chance to quiz senior Hounslow councillors
Senior Hounslow councillors will be present to answer questions from the audience
February 9, 2024
The next Question Time event to be held by Hounslow Council is to take place at West Thames College in Isleworth on Wednesday 28 February from 6.30pm.
It is the the second of four scheduled to be held across the borough and aims to provide an opportunity for residents and businesses to ask Hounslow Council cabinet members, questions around any issues and concerns in the borough. Questions need to be submitted in advance via the website or by emailing or writing to the Council.
Held across the borough, these events are supposed to work in tandem with the Area forums.
The event will be chaired by Tracy Aust, Principal at West Thames College, who said, “There has been a buzz around the college about this event for some time now, and I know that many students have already submitted questions. I also hope they can join residents on the night, and that our young people can feel they’re being listened to.”
Councillor Shantanu Rajawat, Leader of Hounslow Council, said, “The last event in Feltham was the first of four opportunities to meet residents and discuss a diverse range of issues that affect them. The format worked and we’re looking forward to meeting as many residents as possible in Isleworth.”
Members of the public can submit their questions in advance, which will then be selected by the chair for featuring on the night. The deadline is Sunday 18 February. The public can also raise their hands to ask a question on the night.
With a familiar format to BBC Question Time, residents will come face-to-face with elected councillors who are accountable for decision-making in the Council.
Question Time will be filmed and shared via the Council’s social channels after the event.
If you would like to submit a question in advance - and put it to the Cabinet in person on the night - register at Let's Talk website and submit your question/s or email them to engage@hounslow.gov.uk.
If you prefer, you can submit a question in writing and send to:
Engagement Team,
London Borough of Hounslow,

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them.
