Following last nights first hustings at the Three Tunns Inn in Bishop's Castle, a second will take place at St Laurence's parish church in Ludlow on June 2.

Once again, incumbent MP Philip Dunne, standing once more for the Conservative Party, will answer questions from the audience alongside rival candidates including Dr Julia Buckley, for Labour, Councillor Heather Kidd, for the Lib Dems, and South Shropshire Green Party co-ordinator Hilary Wendt, for the Greens.

Members of the public are invited to come along and put questions to the candidates in an event organised by community groups People4Ludlow and Churches Together Around Ludlow.

The hustings will be held from 7pm to 9pm and will be chaired by the newly installed rector of St Laurence's Church, Rev Kelvin Price.

Dr Julia Buckley will also be holding a "meet the candidate" afternoon in the Oscars room at Ludlow Assembly Rooms from 2.30pm to 4.30pm on Friday, where she will also be answering questions.
