In the latest of our innovative #TalkSurreyHeath sessions, Surrey Heath residents and business owners have the chance to ask Council officers and councillors about the issues that matter to them.

Sport and Leisure is the subject up for debate in the fourth of our live streamed events on Monday 24 July.

The planned panel consists of Leader of the Council, Cllr Moira Gibson, SHBC Chief Executive Karen Whelan, Surrey Heath Executive Head of Business Daniel Harrison and Cllr Craig Fennell, Portfolio Holder for Business.

Areas up for discussion include a wide range of sports and leisure related subjects – from sports facilities, leisure centres, and playgrounds, to parks, the theatre and heritage services.

Sports development, the Council’s Walking for Health scheme, and the recently opened Chobham Water Meadows site are also potential topics of interest.

During the event, broadcast via Facebook Live from the Council Chamber at Surrey Heath House, members of the public can follow the live video stream on the SHBC Facebook page (www.facebook.com/SurreyHeath) - there is no need to have a Facebook account in order to view. If you’d like to watch the video of the hour-long session after the event it can be found on the same page.

Before and during the event, questions can be submitted via Facebook, Twitter, or email on [email protected]

Cllr Fennell said: “Plenty of people in Surrey Heath are passionate about sport and leisure, and we look forward to hearing your views and answering your questions at this #TalkSurreyHeath event.”

The Council is organising these interactive online events to encourage residents, business owners and interested parties to have their say on issues that are important to them. Feedback so far has been positive from those who’ve tuned in and taken part, and we’re always keen to hear your views on ways of reaching as many parts of the community as possible.
