Last night (26 April 2022) South Leeds Life hosted an online hustings meeting as part of our local elections coverage.
All the candidates standing in the Middleton Park ward were invited to attend and take questions from our readers. Subjects covered included: what issues they were most concerned about and how being elected would help them address those issues, how they would represent all section of the community, where they live and more.

It is not a great sign of the health of our local democracy when only two of the candidates were able to commit time to join the session live.
