• Independent Candidate (Pavilion): Nicholas Yeomans
• Liberal Democrats: Paul Chandler
• Socialist party of Great Britain: Howard Pilott
We are still waiting to hear which candidates will be joining us from:
• Conservatives
• Green
• Labour
• Trade Union Socialist Coalition

The event will be impartially chaired and is open to all.
All views and questions will receive a fair hearing - we only ask that everyone respects one another.
