How to get involved
Local government needs local people. Residents can raise
issues and get involved in local decision making in a variety of
ways, not just by voting in elections.
Any resident, councillor, business rate payer or local
government elector of Melton Borough Council can ask a 'public
question' to make an enquiry or raise an issue.
These questions can be about any council service. If there
is an issue you think is important or something you think the
council is doing wrong, you may want to bring it to the attention
of the council through a public question.
You can present petitions to Full Council, a Councillor, the
Chief Executive or the Mayor.
There is a Councillor for each ward in the Borough. All
ward Councillors can be contacted to raise issues of concern or ask
for advice on Council services.
