Residents have been invited to attend the General Election hustings which will be held in the Duke Street Church in Richmond on November 28 between 7pm and 9pm.

The meeting is open to all Richmond residents and will give them the opportunity to question each party candidate who has chosen to stand in December's General Election.

The UK will head to the polls on December 12 after MPs decided to back the Prime Minister's call for a general election as a result of the Brexit deadlock.

With a margin of 438 votes to 20, the House of Commons approved legislation which paved the way for the first December election since 1923.

The organisers are The Richmond Society and The Kew Society.

Questions for the candidates can be submitted no later than Thursday 21 November to: secretary@richmondsociety.org.uk or secretary@kewsociety.org.
