A HUSTINGS meeting will be held ahead of the forthcoming Middlesbrough by-election.
The hustings, organised by Friends of the Earth, will give voters chance to quiz by-election candidates on issues that matter to them.
The organisation successfully hosted hustings ahead of the 2010 elections in Middlesbrough, Redcar and Darlington.
Co-ordinator Rob Tucker said: “This is democracy at work, voters should be able to speak, meet and question the candidates. We learnt a lot from hosting them in 2010 and were amazed at the turn-out.”
The event will take place at Saint Barnabas Church on Linthorpe Road, Middlesbrough on Monday November 26 from 7pm – 8.30pm. Voters do not need to book but should arrive early and bring a pencil and paper.
