Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen is inviting the public to put their questions to him in person at his next live Question Time event.
The latest session will take place at Teesside University in Middlesbrough on Wednesday, November 4, in the Discovery Zone of the Digital Life Building.
Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start.
Mayor Houchen said: "These events are about giving people the chance to ask me questions directly, whether that's about jobs, transport, investment or anything else affecting their communities.
"It's important that people can challenge me on the decisions we're making and hear the answers for themselves.
"It's great to be bringing Question Time to Teesside University, and I'm particularly keen to see students coming along and getting involved in the discussion.
"Whether you've got a particular issue you want to raise or just want to hear what's happening across our region, come along and have your say."
The event will be chaired by Darren Thwaites, former editor of the Evening Gazette and now a senior lecturer at Teesside University.

The format complements Mr Houchen’s regular BBC Radio Tees phone-ins.
