Southall residents will have the chance to quiz borough service providers in a Community Town Hall meeting.

Residents will be able to put their questions to local government officers and others responsible for public services.

Virendra Sharma MP has arranged the event for local residents to ask questions of those in charge locally. Ealing Council will be represented by Cllr Jasbir Anand, Pippa Nightingale the CEO of the North West London NHS Trust, a police representative has been invited, Heather Preen, TfL’s Head of Communities and Local Partnerships will be there, and Nigel Milton from Heathrow Airport will talk about skills and training.

The event is a similar format to the Town Hall Meeting popular in American in which residents get to put questions to elected officials and senior local government staff.

It will take place on the 29 June at 7pm at St John's Church, Church Avenue, Southall, UB2 4DH.

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. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.
