What can be done to help young people afford a home in South Ribble?

  • 2 days ago
The issue of housing was one of several hot topics on which some of the candidates standing to be South Ribble's next MP were quizzed during a hustings event.

The Lancashire Post, Lancashire Lead, Blog Preston and the Local Democracy Reporting Service invited all five candidates standing for the South Ribble constituency at next week's general election to a debate in which they fielded questions from voters.

Four of those on the ballot took part in the event. In order of appearance from left to right on the stage, they are:

KATHERINE FLETCHER - Conservative

PAUL FOSTER - Labour

ANDY HUNTER - Reform UK

ANGE TURNER - Liberal Democrats

The one other candidate for the South Ribble constituency, who was unable to attend, is:

STEPHANI MOK - Green Party
