The panellists are Leader of the Council, Cllr Ruth Dombey; Guy Ferguson, Police Borough Commander; Susanna Bennett, Chief Executive Sutton Centre for the Voluntary Sector; Cllr Colin Hall, Deputy Leader of Sutton Council and Niall Bolger, Chief Executive of Sutton Council.
Cllr Ruth Dombey said: “We want to listen to people. We want to explain the financial pressures on public services and understand our residents’ priorities and concerns.
“We want to answer your questions about youth services and services for the elderly, about education, parks, parking and policing. We want to talk about the voluntary sector and how local people can get involved in their community.
“Most of all we want to talk about your concerns and provide answers.”
The event, hosted by Matt Watts, Editor of the Sutton Guardian, will be at the Charles Cryer Theatre in Carshalton from 7-9pm.
Tickets will be on a first-come, first-served basis, but anyone who cannot get along can follow events as they happen using Twitter at #SuttonQT.
Ticket-holders will be asked if they have a question as they arrive and some will be selected to put their enquiry directly to the panel.
Before the night itself some residents will be filmed asking questions and the audience will be able to vote which ones should be screened on the night and addressed by the panel.

This is intended to be the first of a series of Question Time nights with several being planned for next year.
The second event won’t be open to the public but will be just for the members of the Sutton Seniors Forum but we are already thinking about a suitable venue for the third which will be open to everyone.
