Residents of Boscombe have been invited to attend its annual Q&A session with BCP Council leader Vikki Slade at the AECC University in Parkwood Road.

She will take questions from the floor and answer some submitted in advance.

There will also be updates on the Towns Fund projects and from Dorset Police.

Refreshments will be available from 6.30pm with a prompt start at 7pm on Thursday, January 18.

Harry Seccombe , chair of Boscombe Forum,  said: "We are very pleased to welcome Cllr Vikki Slade to Boscombe Forum this year, especially as it is 10 years since our first ever Q&A with the leader of the council.

"I would encourage local residents to bring questions, that they would like to see addressed, to the meeting.

"We would also like to thank Boscombe's very own university, the Anglo European Chiropractic College University, for generously hosting our event."
