ALL the candidates standing for election to Westminster Parliament to represent Redditch are being invited to a public hustings meeting.

The meeting, on April 16, will give election candidates the chance to debate policies and answer questions from the audience.

The meeting is at St. John's Church in Greenlands and will be hosted by Churches Together in Redditch and chaired by Jim Hidderley.

Residents are being encouraged to submit questions via email to RedditchHustings2015@gmail.com or by post to Redditch Hustings, Ecumenical Centre, 6 Evesham Walk, Redditch B97 4EX.

A spokesman from Churches Together said: "This will be an opportunity to meet the candidates and hear their views on subjects chosen by members of the public – your questions and their answers.

"The aim will be to cover a range of topics raised by local people."
