There will be a chance to meet all the candidates in the South Camberwell by-election on Thursday 8 October.

Hustings will be held 7.30-9.30pm at the Albrighton Community Centre, East Dulwich Estate SE22 8AH (opposite Sainsburys on Dog Kennel Hill).

Candidates will have 3 minutes each to present before questions from the audience. Chaired by Linda Craig.

Come along and ensure your voice is heard. All welcome!

Here's how I would rate the candidates based on their performance at the Hustings:

1. Green

2. Tory

3. LD

4. Lab

Hard to rate the APP candidate as he's an excellent speaker, although has some rather eccentric views imo.

The Green candidate was easily the most impressive and best informed of the lot, although I probably won't vote for her as I disagree strongly with her opposition to the DHFC ground proposals. In fact, the Tory was the only one of the 5 who does support the club's plans.

The Labour candidate was surprisingly unimpressive and nervous. This should be a totally straightforward and easy seat for them to win, so I would have assumed they had a number of strong candidates who would have been keen to run. I expect she still will win, but maybe the Green will get a bit closer than expected.
