There’s

just over a week to go until the General Election and the campaign trail is in

full swing. David Cameron, Gordon Brown and Nick Clegg are gearing up to take

part in their third and final live television debate this Thursday.

Closer to

home the local candidates vying for the St Ives constituency seat are set to do

the same in Helston. Environmental group Transition Helston has arranged a

similar style debate which is taking place at Helston Community College

at 7.30pm on Wednesday 28th April.

Taking part

will be:

Andrew

George (current Lib Dem MP)

Derek

Thomas (Conservative)

Michael

Faulkner (UK Independence)

Tim

Andrewes (Green)

Philippa

Latimer (Labour)

Simon Reed

(Mebyon Kernow)

Jonathan

Rogers (Cornish Democrats) isn’t able to take part.

Much like

the leaders debate the evening will include introductions, an address from each

candidate and questions from the audience. Topics they’ll be quizzed on include

the environment and the carbon footprint of the local area, as well as subjects

like out of town shopping and the effect it has on Helston town centre.

So if

you’ve yet to make your mind up who to vote for, or if you want to know where

each of them stand on issues close to your heart it’s worth heading along.
