KNYSNA NEWS - Here are the questions we will start to send to our councillors next week. This is being done in an open and transparent way.
There are 21 councillors and in a list from the Knysna municipality their names are listed alphabetically, so we will follow the names in this order.
We expect you as our readers to tip us off to important stuff we might otherwise not know about. We expect you to participate, and share your wisdom and insight with us and with other readers. If you choose to do that – and this is where you need to take some time to consider the consequences – then we expect you to do so using your real name. Anonymity does not breed thoughtful, civilised debate.
Feel free to add questions to this list should you feel it is lacking anything important.
Every week we will publish your comments after hearing what your councillor has to say, if you want to comment.
Councillors, we really look forward to getting to know you all better.
