Maldon's hustings event is set to go ahead this evening (June 24), with all five candidates going head-to-head to win resident's votes.

The event is taking place at Maldon United Reformed Church, Market Hill, and will begin at 7.30 pm.

The five candidates in attendance include:

• Simon Burwood of the Liberal Democrats
• Onike Gollo of the Labour Party
• Sir John Whittingdale of the Conservatives
• Pamela Walford of Reform UK
• Isobel Doubleday of the Green Party

The event has been organised by Churches Together, and seats will be offered to the public on a first come, first serve basis, with numbers possibly being limited for safety reasons.

Voters in the area can submit questions for the candidates in advance to [email protected] with the opportunity for additional questions on the night.
