East Dunbartonshire Council Leader Rhondda Geekie will also be holding a question and answer session from 1pm-2pm on Tuesday to allow residents to ask questions direct via Twitter.
The council has increased its followers on its Twitter feed, @EDCouncil, to over 2,000 since it began tweeting at the start of 2011 and hopes to build on this during the 24 event.
Councillor Rhondda Geekie said, “We are always looking for ways to engage with our residents, to let them know about our services and also find out what they think about local issues.
