Voters in Edmonton and Winchmore Hill, Enfield North, and Southgate and Wood Green, will be able to put questions to parliamentary candidates over the next week

Four election hustings events organised across three Enfield constituencies are taking place over the next week.

With the general election now just ten days away, voters will be helped to make up their minds by being able to put questions directly to the candidates standing in Edmonton and Winchmore Hill, Enfield North, and Southgate and Wood Green.

Local community groups Enfield Climate Action Forum and Local Motion Enfield are jointly holding their election husting webinars starting at 7pm on Thursday (27th) with all Edmonton and Winchmore Hill candidates invited to appear. Southgate and Wood Green candidates will be answering questions from voters via Zoom from 7pm on Friday (28th), while people in Enfield North will get their chance from 7pm on Monday, 1st July.

The general election takes place on Thursday, 4th July.

The organisers of the three events say it will be “an opportunity to participate in the democratic process and exercise your civic duty to understand how parliamentary candidates plan to serve their constituents”.

Members of the community are being before the events to submit questions based around three core themes of housing, the cost-of-living crisis and the climate emergency. Questions will be selected according to the most popular themes and asked of all the parliamentary candidates.

A fourth election hustings event, this time being held in person, is being hosted by Cockfosters and North Southgate United Synagogue in Old Farm Road, Southgate, from 8pm on Wednesday, 26th June. All of the Southgate and Wood Green candidates have been invited.
