The Selby and Ainsty by-election is just around the corner, taking place on the 20th July.

Ahead of that date, many local people are keen to ensure that all the candidates understand the issues that Selby & Ainsty communities care about, including local jobs, energy security, the environment and supporting major employers in the region.

If you want to have your voice heard and question the candidates then there is an opportunity for you to do just that.

The Yorkshire Post is hosting a hustings event where you can listen to the candidates and ask questions - at the Drax Sports and Social Club on 12th July at 6:30pm.

Five candidates from the Conservative Party, Labour Party, Liberal Democrat Party, Green Party and Yorkshire Party will be attending to answer your questions. It will be a great opportunity to hear their views.

With the power station serving as an ideal backdrop for the discussion, as someone who cares about the future of Drax we wanted to make you aware of the event. You can sign up to attend below.
