DAVID Finch as leader of Essex County Council is responsible for a spending budget of £2.3 billion on services in 2013/14, funded by taxpayers.

But what do you think of the work of the county council?

Here is a rare chance to put him on the spot and ask him the questions you want answered.

We will put your top ten questions to Mr Finch to be answered, printing the responses in early September.

So whether it be about the state of the roads, landfill sites and recycling centres or social care this is your opportunity.

  • To submit your question e-mail will.lodge@nqe.com by midday on August 27 including your name and address.
