Part 2 Shoreham by Sea - Election Hustings - June 2024

In association with The Shoreham Society.

The event is being organised and co-hosted by Ropetackle Arts Centre and the Shoreham Society. Simon Fanshawe, writer, activist and broadcaster, is host, and fielding the questions. Residents had two hours to get as much information out of the candidates as possible!
Each candidate was given 5 minutes at the start of the evening to introduce themselves, and after a short interval, took questions on a number of subjects, including the Economy, NHS, Education, Housing, immigration and important local issues.
