A hustings held on Friday gave Shrewsbury college students the opportunity to quiz the town's parliamentary candidates.
Around 200 students and staff joined six of Shrewsbury's parliamentary candidates in a hustings event on Friday, June 21.
The event saw the Conservative's Daniel Kawczynski, Labour's Julia Buckley and the Liberal Dems' Alex Wagner join Julian Dean from the Green Party, independent James Gollins, and Mark Whittle, the North Shropshire Reform candidate who was standing in for Shrewsbury's Victor Applegate.
Each candidate presented their party's vision and policies before opening the floor to student questions on a range of topics, including public transport, flooding, the defunding of certain vocational courses, voting age being lowered to 16 and the proposed National Service policy.
