Soapbox

What is the soapbox slot?
The soapbox slot is your chance to have your say on any issue that concerns you, your neighbours or your community. It is an excellent opportunity to share your views and concerns with the audience, ward councillors and council officers.

How can I have my say?
Please fill in the online Soapbox Application Form or email us at consultation@brent.gov.uk

You can also print the form and post to us at the address below:

Consultation Team

Room 210, Brent Town Hall, Forty Lane, Wembley, Middlesex HA9 9HX

You can also hand your completed form to a Council Officer at the beginning of the meeting. You will be invited to speak by the forum chair during the course of the meeting.

What are the rules?
In order that everyone gets the same opportunity and that no offence is caused to any member of the forum audience, certain ground rules will apply and we would ask everyone who participates to respect these rules.

They are:

• Soapbox topics or issues discussed must be relevant to the area and its communities
• Equal Opportunities guidelines will be applied and no inappropriate topics or comments will be allowed
• A maximum of three minutes will be allowed for each slot, and the chair will monitor timekeeping
• If appropriate, the council will provide a response either on the night, or in writing at a later date
