Got a burning question that you want answered? Something about Lambeth really bothering you? Here’s your chance to get an answer from the people who run Lambeth Council.
We are asking young people across Lambeth to send in questions that they want answered by the elected councilors of Lambeth Council.
The theme is “What should London do for its young people?” and there will be a debate following the questions that are asked, and an agreement about what the council should do next. This really is a chance to get your say across and influence council decision making.
How to ask your question
If you’re feeling particularly brave you can ask the question yourself in the council’s historic chamber, in the company of all the council’s elected councilors, council staff, journalists and members of the public.
You can either submit a question to be answered, or a short statement that you want to read out at the meeting, to contribute to the debate and telling the council what you want to see happen.
Post your questions below, or tweet us @Lambeth_Council using the hashtag #LambethQuestionTime
Even if you don’t get your questions answered on the 23rd, we’ll answer all of them on this blog after the meeting.
If you want to submit a statement, email us what you want to say with a maximum of 200 words on webteam@lambeth.gov.uk

Hello, this event looks interesting and very relevant. Street League work with young people in Lambeth and help them into employment through the power of football. If you could email me the details through that would be great. My email address is – callum.simpson@streetleague.co.uk
Many thanks
