Bath City FC will host a hustings of Bath’s prospective parliamentary candidates on the evening of Wednesday 31st May at Twerton Park, with local residents being invited along to ask questions.
Local people will be able to grill Conservative MP Ben Howlett, Liberal Democrat Wera Hobhouse, Labour’s Joe Rayment and Green candidate Eleanor Field on their goals, policies and plans for Bath.
Bath City general manager Carole Banwell said: “As a democratic community-owned club, we are proud to host this important fixture in the General Election campaign.
“We look forward to welcoming people from across Bath to Twerton Park for a spirited and lively debate.”
Inspired by Bath City FC’s recent conversion to community ownership, part of the hustings will see candidates give their views on whether local people and community groups should have greater input and control over local issues.
The event will be moderated by Greg Ingham, chief executive of MediaClash and chair of Creative Bath.
Doors open at 6.45pm with the hustings kicking off at 7.30pm. A cash bar will be available.
