ANDY Burnham is to take part in a Question Time-style event this month.

The Mayor of Greater Manchester will be available on Thursday, February 13, at the University of Bolton to address the concerns of residents.

The public are being encouraged to ask questions either in person or in advance by email or via Twitter.

The question and answer session will be held at the university’s Senate House from 7:30pm and will be hosted by regional media.

The public can register to attend the event online, and it will also be live streamed to the Mayor’s Facebook page.

The Question Time event is the Mayor’s second of the year, with each session held in the borough where the Greater Manchester Combined Authority will meet that month.

Advance questions can be submitted by email to questiontime@greatermanchester-ca.gov.uk or on Twitter via the hashtag #AskAndyGM.

Attendees will also be prompted to submit a question when registering for a ticket online.

Mr Burnham will not see any of the questions before the event, but they will be selected by the organisers to ensure coverage of several different topics.

Registration is open until 11.30pm on Wednesday, February 12, and advance questions must be submitted by Friday, February 7.
