Tuesday’s hustings was an opportunity to question candidates up for election to London Borough of Hounslow on the 22nd May. The candidates don’t have to be finalised until next week and some candidates were clearly last minute additions who hadn’t done much homework.
Ian Speed (ICG) and Cllr Theo Dennison (Labour) exchanged a few harsh words about the current and previous administration but were the clear winners, speaking clearly, confidently and with knowledge.
Cllr Mel Collins (Labour) was genuinely upset after 4 years of service by the questioner who asked “Why should I vote for any of you when you’ve done nothing to impress me?” especially when he realised that he had personally successfully helped the gentleman in question.
