Background of the Council Report Meeting

The Itabashi Ward Council first held a Report Meeting in May 2014, becoming a pioneer among the 23 wards in Tokyo. The purpose of these meetings is to provide a platform for council members to directly report on council activities and share important information about local governance. Additionally, it allows residents to voice their opinions, ensuring that the council remains responsive to community needs.

This upcoming meeting marks the fourth instance of the hybrid format introduced in May 2022, during the 9th Itabashi Council Report Meeting. By utilizing this format, the Itabashi Ward Council aims to promote transparency and enhance community engagement, fostering a sense of connection between residents and their local government.
