South Leeds Life hosted an online hustings meeting this evening (29 April 2026) as part of our local election 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, fly-tipping, artificial sports pitches, where they live and more.

While you’re here, can we ask a favour?
South Leeds Life is published by a not-for-profit social enterprise. We keep our costs as low as possible but we’ve been hit by increases in the print costs for our monthly newspaper which have doubled in the last two years.

Why was I never invited, may I ask?
We asked your Green Party colleagues Ed Carlisle and Matt Rogan to pass on the invitation as we didn’t have your contact details.
