Election 2015 Hustings meeting at the Albrighton Community Centre on Monday April 13th!

[Bloggsy08]

Hustings Monday at the Albrighton Community Centre - April 13th from 7:15pm. Not many hustings meetings yet (Herne Hill's comes later in the week) but here's one which will be intimate and well-represented. Organised by the Ivanhoe Residents Association with the Albrighton Centre and East Dulwich Estate. Candidates or their agents will chiefly represent Camberwell and Peckham but there will be a candidate for Dulwich and West Norwood. So East Dulwich residents and those of you from other surrounding areas are also enthusiastically invited to attend!

We've waited this long to announce because we've just had word on Friday that all parties invited have accepted and have named their representatives for this Hustings meeting - with the exception of the Lib Dems (someone is expected but this remains a TBA). On the table there will be:

All People's Party - Stephen Govier

Conservative Party - Naomi Newstead

Green Party - Rashid Nix

Labour Party - Harriet Harman

Left Unity & TUSC - Nick Wrack

Liberal Democrat Party - TBA

National Health Action - Rebecca Fox

UKIP - David Kurten

Topics will range from Electoral Reform, the NHS and housing to the 20MPH zone, schools, Green Spaces and Dulwich Hamlet FC for more hyper-local discussion. We hope to take questions and complete within 90-120 minutes

Smaller party candidates have an earlier candidates meeting at Southwark Town Hall on Monday, so one or two may join in progress.

The Albrighton Community Centre is located at 37 Albrighton Road SE22 8AH - on the east side of Dog Kennel Hill, almost opposite Sainsburys, within the East Dulwich Estate.

We're all hoping to learn more about how the political system can better work for all of us in the community ... hope you can make it, even at this short notice.

UPDATE Rashid Nix, who is standing in West Norwood & Dulwich for the Green Party, will represent Amelia Womack, who is the Green candidate in Camberwell & Peckham as she is currently campaigning in the West Country for Young Greens. Stephen Govier will represent Prem Goyal who is the C&P candidate for the All People's Party. We're told by C&P Lib Dems Chair Jonathan Hunt that there will be a rep for C&P candidate Yahaya Kiyingi, who is committed elsewhere
