LET’S TALK HARTLEPOOL

Following the strong turnout and thoughtful contributions at our first event, Hartlepool’s Member of Parliament, Jonathan Brash, is inviting residents to our second Community Conversation. This session introduces a new, more interactive format designed to help everyone take part comfortably and meaningfully.

What’s new in this improved format

• Cabaret-style seating for easier conversation
  Tables will be set out across the room so residents can sit in small groups. This helps create a relaxed, sociable atmosphere and makes it easier for everyone to take part.
• Group discussion time
  Groups will have time to talk through ideas, share experiences, and prioritise the topics that matter most to them before putting their question to Jonathan.
• Small-group engagement with Jonathan
  Jonathan will move between tables during the discussion period, giving residents more opportunity to speak with him directly in a smaller, more personal setting.
• Combined with a wider town-hall Q&A
  We will still include an open-floor Q&A so residents who wish to speak publicly can address the room and raise broader concerns.
• Written-question option
  For those who prefer not to speak, written questions can be submitted on arrival. These will be grouped by theme and included in the wider discussion.
• Casework desk and feedback stations
  A private casework desk will be available throughout the evening, and themed feedback boards will help shape future sessions.
  

This new format brings together the strengths of a town hall with the benefits of small-group discussion - giving residents more space to speak, listen, and work together on Hartlepool’s priorities.
