Hustings Write Up in the Mercury

A reporter joined us from the Mercury last night, his review of the evening can be found here:

Last Night

Thanks again to all who attended the Hustings last night and especially to our five candidates! It would be great to hear your feedback on the event. In the meantime for a bit of light relief from the campaigning, here's an animated gif that Google produced from our quick snapshots on the evening!

Tonight's the Night!

Tonight's the night - TV might have candidates back to back, but we have them all together answering your questions! The Hustings begins at 8pm, doors open 7.30pm - judging by previous Hustings in the Borough we suggest arriving early to get a seat.

Hustings Questions Submitted

Our main questions have been collated from those we have received and passed onto the candidates. The broad topics are: Education, Constitution, Welfare & Employment, and Foreign & International Affairs. They look like a great set of questions - thank you for submitting them - and should provoke interesting responses from our panel.

Call for Hustings Questions!

We're still looking for your questions to put before the local candidates at the Broxbourne Hustings. Post them on the Hustings Page on this site or on the Facebook page!
