THE Montgomeryshire branch of the Farmers’ Union of Wales is holding a Welsh Assembly election hustings on Monday, 2 May at Welshpool mart.

The event, which commences at 12 noon, will welcome Jane Dodds (Liberal Democrats), Aled Hughes (Plaid Cymru), Russell George (Conservative), Des Parkinson (UKIP), Richard Chaloner (Wales Green Party) and Martyn Singleton (Labour).

Each of the candidates has been allocated time to outline their party’s position before questions from the audience are welcomed.

FUW County Executive Officer Emyr Wyn Davies said: “I would like to extend a warm welcome to all our members and friends of the Union to join us for this important event.

“If you’re taking cattle to the mart on Monday, don’t miss the chance to join us for this important event. As it is a bank holiday, why not bring family and friends as well?

“It is paramount that we make an informed decision on 5 May and I urge you not to miss out on the opportunity to speak to your local election candidates.”
