Redlands Town Hall Meeting

Town hall meetings, also called town halls or town hall forums, are a way for local and national politicians to meet with their constituents either to hear from them on topics of interest or to discuss specific upcoming legislation or regulation.

Despite their name, town hall meetings do not necessarily take place in a town hall. They are commonly held in a range of venues, including schools, libraries, municipal buildings, and churches. (source: Wikipedia).  This Redlands Town Hall meeting will be held in the modern Cleveland Scout Hall in Gordon Street, Ormiston.
