General Election 2010: you ask the questions
On Monday 26 April the Hackney Citizen will be holding a question and answer session with the candidates for the parliamentary constituencies of Hackney North and Stoke Newington, and Hackney South and Shoreditch.
This is an opportunity for you to put your questions to the candidates on the issues that matter most to you.
It might be health, education, crime, the economy or something else entirely.
We will put the best of your questions to the candidates. Their answers will be posted on our website, and you will then have an opportunity to ask follow-up questions.
Candidates will be invited to respond to questions from Monday 26 April until the day before the election, Wednesday 5 May 2010.
So get in touch and have a say in what our politicians need to do for us if they want our vote.
Send your name, contact details and questions to us at elections@hackneycitizen.co.uk before 5pm Sunday 25 April.
For each party [candidate]:
“If elected, what would your party do about ‘Common Purpose’?”
If elected, what will you do to get Hackney’s children playing outside more?
What are you going to do for London Fields to make people take their rubbish home with them and barbeque sensibly??
Why so many thousands seem to think its OK to descend on our lovely park from wherever they come from and then leave huge mounds of rubbish, food and still smouldering bbqs is incomprehensable.
The atmosphere seems lovely, but god I hate the litter. Unsafe for children and dogs and awful for the many thousands of residents.
To Hackney South and Shoreditch candidates
If elected, what will you do to help win justice for innocent young Hoxton man Sam Hallam now in his sixth year of life imprisonmernt for a murder he did not commit.
Do you believe it is acceptable to represent a constituency in Parliament without being resident in that constituency?
