Following the format and success of Eastleigh Central Local Election Hustings 2022, we aim to run a similar one for Eastleigh North.
This will run with the same format, rules, guidance as Eastleigh Central. The questions will be based on the Eastleigh Central question canvass as the questions from residents are similar.
Candidates in Eastleigh North will have a slight advantage over Eastleigh Central as they will be able to see the video example already set by Eastleigh Central residents. This won’t cause bias in the election as they are standing in very different areas.
Eastleigh North Candidates
- Lisa Crosher (Conservative), @LisaCrosher Confirmed
- Kathy O’Neill (Labour), Confirmed
- Stephen Beer (Lib Dem), Confirmed
- Jason Reeves (Green)
Proposed Timeline
- Closure and finalising questions: 8pm Sunday 24th April
- Final date for candidates to get videos sent in by: 12 noon Saturday 30th April
- Target video release: 1st May.
Video may be released sooner if all candidates respond!
