AN election hustings event featuring candidates from the three major parties will be held.

The event, at St Anne's Church Centre, Larkshall Road, will see all candidates take part in a Question Time style debate.

The candidates taking part will be: Iain Duncan Smith (Conservative), Cath Arakelian (Labour), Geoff Seeff (Liberal Democrat), Lucy Craig (Green), Nick Jones (UKIP), Barry White (Independent), None of the Above (Independent).

British National Party candidate Julian Leppert will not be taking part, because the Church of England operates a 'no platform' policy.

The debate starts at 8pm on Saturday (April 24).
