A DEBATE with Warrington North's parliamentary candidates has been rescheduled following the Manchester bombing.

The Warrington Guardian was set to host the event at our offices today, Friday, at 1pm.

But following the atrocity on Monday night it will now take place next Thursday at 1pm.

UKIP candidate James Ashington and Green Party candidate Lyndsay McAteer will be taking part, while Cllr Ian Marks, chairman of the town's Liberal Democrats, will represent his party instead of candidate Cllr Stefan Krizanac, who is unable to attend.

Labour candidate Helen Jones and Tory candidate Val Allen have declined to take part.

They have also opted not to send any replacements.

To watch the debate, or submit your questions, head to our Facebook page from 1pm on Thursday.

You can also send your questions in ahead of the event by e-mailing aran.dhillon@nqnw.co.uk.
