I was honoured to be asked to host the Mayor’s Question Time by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority in Bury.I chose the questions submitted by the public, pooled a few common themes, made sure that the question was addressed by Andy Burnham.
The Mayor didn’t get sight of the questions beforehand, and he had his deputy and senior officers in the front row to answer specific points on delivery.
It’s not always comfortable for him, and by its very nature people who come to these events are passionate about their concerns and queries, but it’s such an important function of this new kind of direct democracy. 🙏
