Questions submitted to the Question Time, include…
Whilst most people who have booked to come to the event have listed health, social care or the NHS as one of their top three issues, there is only one specific question submitted to candidates on that subject; “Will you admit that the NHS is broken…?”.
Other questions ask about tackling the climate crisis and achieving energy-efficient homes. Obtaining adequate funding for children with special educational needs and disabilities and tackling crumbling infrastructure in school buildings concerns other questioners. Immigration concerns many of those listing their top three election issues.
Specifically, local issues have not been the subject of many questions, with one exception being telegraph poles installed against community opinion.
The deadline for questions has now passed and these have been passed on to the candidates for their careful consideration. There are still seats available. Just come along on the night. Please arrive early for a prompt 7.00 pm start.
