PEOPLE will have the chance to ask Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram questions about issues in their local area in a free event.

Mr Rotheram will be holding his own version of 'Question Time' at Wirral Met College's Conway Park Campus on Tuesday, December 12.

When Mr Rotheram was elected in May 2017 he held a similar series of public events to inform people of his manifesto.

He said: “It’s really important that politicians listen and remain in touch. Over the last six months I have been out and about across the city region meeting businesses, community groups and getting a picture of every area, its challenges and opportunities.

"The Question Time events are another really important way to stay connected and give people a chance to ask me about my priorities, and tell me the things that matter most to them.”

Tickets are free but are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

Doors will open at 6.30pm and refreshments will be available ready for a 7pm start.
