Unfortunately the Mayor has Covid, therefore we are postponing next week’s Mayor’s Question (MQT) from The Exchange Theatre. Mayor Driscoll will be back for a face to face MQT from North Shields at a later date! We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Mayor Jamie Driscoll said: “I was directly elected by the people of North Tyneside, Northumberland and Newcastle so it’s important that the people get to speak with me directly. You might have a burning question, or you might just be interested in hearing about what’s happening. Whatever your reasons, I look forward to you joining me, be it in person or online.”
Mayor Driscoll will strike up conversations about his work at the question-and-answer session at The Exchange Theatre, Howard Street, North Shields, NE30 1SE from 6.30pm on 23 March.
