Councillors could be in for a bit of a grilling when they field questions live on Facebook

                                                     

Will Grimsby's Corporation Road Bridge ever re-open? This could be one of the questions on June 9 

THERE will be a chance to quiz North East Lincolnshire Council leaders later this month.

At 6.30pm on Monday,  June 9, council leader Cllr Philip Jackson and his cabinet colleagues will be fielding questions via the social media platform,  Facebook.

Says a NELC spokesperson: "There’s lots happening in the years ahead - and the council is playing a pivotal role in most of that change.

"Grimsby and Cleethorpes will be transformed with major grant-supported regeneration schemes and Freshney Place will continue to be redeveloped under council ownership"

Says Cllr Jackson said: "It is important that people know they have the opportunity to ask my colleagues me about the decisions we make that will impact on their lives both now and in the future.

"We will listen to what they say and try to answer any questions they ask.

"Others may have issues to raise and points to make that we can take away to consider."

Some of the questions could be tricky.

In Grimsby, for instance, the Riverhead revamp has been underwhelming and repairs to Corporation Road Bridge still have not been completed.

In Cleethorpes. three schemes  have all stalled. These are:

* The Sea Road amenity building

* The redesign of  Market Place

* The hard-surfacing of  Pleasure Gardens

There is also concern about the future of the libraries service which some, rightly or wrongly,  fear is at risk of being 'dumbed down' or even gradually dismantled. 

Any questions should be pre-submitted  to  communications@nelincs.gov.uk

Cabinet members will endeavour to answer all questions on the night.
