[GY Hustings @GYHustings]

Tony Mallion: This has been put on by the churches because we care about our community and the most important thing is you vote on May 7th

[GY Hustings @GYHustings]

Would you retain the fox-hunting ban? @UKIP_GY Put it to referendum J.Joyce Yes @lara_norris Yes @haroldleeewebb Yes @BrandonLewis No

[GY Hustings @GYHustings]

@UKIP_GY The attitude of "we know best" doesn't work for politicians anymore

[GY Hustings @GYHustings]

@BrandonLewis I'm available to people regularly to sort local issues but the job of your MP is in Westminster banging the drum for GY

[GY Hustings @GYHustings]

@haroldleeewebb we need to start thinking local and speaking local, Great Yarmouth has been forgotten to easily

[GY Hustings @GYHustings]

@lara_norris I will start up a peoples panel for people of GY to come every month & have their say on legislation & Westminster's decisions

[GY Hustings @GYHustings]

@haroldleeewebb To equip local people for local jobs we need to invest in offshore energy and invest in our local colleges

[GY Hustings @GYHustings]

JamesJoyce Why aren't local jobs going to local people? We must stop government interfering with education every 5 years &let teachers teach

[GY Hustings @GYHustings]

@BrandonLewis We need to make sure we are up-skilling local people so they can take advantage of the jobs that are coming to the area

[GY Hustings @GYHustings]

Q4 by GY residents, what will you do to create local jobs for local people?

[GY Hustings @GYHustings]

Q4 with an ever increasing difference between the workplace wages and the residential earnings in GY, suggesting GY's jobs aren't taken 1/2

[GY Hustings @GYHustings]

@UKIP_GY we want to put 800 advisers into Foodbanks to help them get best use from them and give those on 0hours contracts 24hr notice

[GY Hustings @GYHustings]

@haroldleeewebb There should not be a need for Foodbanks while there is so much food being thrown away or wasted by producers and consumers

[GY Hustings @GYHustings]

@lara_norris Biggest reasons for Foodbank use are sanctions and benefit delays, so we should start by readdressing welfare provisions

[GY Hustings @GYHustings]

@BrandonLewis even as the economy recovers there'll still be people needing Foodbanks and it is good that charities are there to do this

[GY Hustings @GYHustings]

Q3 Given the marked rise of Foodbanks in UK, including @GTY_Foodbank why is this and what will you do about it?
