The hustings for the Somerton and Frome parliamentary seat provided a lively debate with a capacity audience and attendance from all 4 candidates:
Labour Party – Sean Dromgoole 
Green Party – Andrea Dexter
Conservative Party – David Warburton
Liberal Democrat Party – Adam Boyden
The hustings was split into two halves; the first half was chaired by the Mayor of Frome, Mark Dorrington and allowed all four candidates five minutes for their opening remarks. This was followed by four pre-selected questions that had been submitted by the public before the event.
Following a break, the second half was chaired by Deputy Mayor, Anita Collier and four further questions that had been submitted by attendees at the event. All questions were assessed and chosen by the Town Clerk and a Councillor and represented a range of issues submitted.
Wrapping up the event, all candidates had the opportunity for closing remarks.
