Ask a question at a council meeting
Anyone who lives, works or studies in Lewisham can make an enquiry or raise an issue at a full Council meeting by asking a public question. If there is an issue you want the Council to look at, or an area where you believe we can make improvements, a public question is a good way to bring it to the Council’s attention.
Your question may lead to an investigation or review of the issue you raise and could be relevant to other residents affected by the same issue.
