Welwyn Hatfield General Election Hustings

29th April, 8pm-10pm, Herts International Church, Unit 2 Sterling Court, Mundells, Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire AL7 1FT

Please join us to question our local parliamentary candidates on the issues that matter to us. Discussion topics and questions will come from your submissions, so if you have questions for us or for the candidates get in touch via welhat.hustings@gmail.com

Last time, the hustings were a great success, with a packed room hearing the candidates’ responses to questions on a wide range of international, national and local issues.

We will be following the same format as last time, with questions and topics from what you send us in advance supplemented by a limited number of questions on the night.

This is your chance to grill the candidates, and focus them on issues you care about, so don’t miss out!
