WECA Mayor "Helen Goblin" Question Time Nov 2026

Recently WECA decided that it would not allow the public to ask supplementary questions in meetings.

• One question. In writing. Answered before you arrive (The Almighty Gob)
• The public’s right to ask supplementary questions is being withheld by WECA (Suzanne Audrey)

Helen Godwin commented:

“people have the opportunity to ask me questions every six weeks or so, when I’m in the hotseat for an hour on John Darvall’s show on BBC Radio Bristol”

I know that my request for an hour off work to try and put a question to Helen Godwin on BBC Radio would not go down very well.

Also the John Darvall show is only available for 4 weeks, so you cannot go back and listed to what Helen said in previous interviews.

So, I have started recording "Helen's (not very) Hot Seat so that these interviews can be kept for longer than 4 weeks.

I have also added "Chapter" links so that you can skip to the questions you are interested in:

The "auto captioning" software translated "Helen Godwin" to "Helen Goblin". I wonder if that will catch on as a nickname?

I hope people find this useful.

I will carry out the same treatment for future "Hot Seat" interviews. The next one is in six weeks.
