Each of the main political parties contesting the elections on 6th May  – Conservative, Green, Labour and Liberal Democrat – will have two representatives on the online panel. The candidates will be responding to a number of questions notified in advance, as well as a selection of those submitted by audience members during the event.

The chair of the event will be 92.6fm Radio Verulam’s Nick Hazell.

St.Albans Friends of the Earth Coordinator Amanda Yorwerth said:
‘Herts County Council makes so many decisions that affect our environment – from cycle lanes on roads to waste incinerators and from managing road verges for pollinators to Meat Free Mondays in schools – so the elections coming up on 6th May are really important. We hope that the hustings we’re planning will give everyone who thinks that we should be tackling urgent environmental issues the chance to make an informed decision at the ballot box’.
