The Lancashire Post, Lancashire Lead, Blog Preston and the Local Democracy Reporting Service invited all five candidates standing for the South Ribble constituency at next week's general election to a debate in which they fielded questions from voters.

Topics covered ranged from widening one of the borough's busiest roads to providing affordable homes for young people and from Brexit to single-sex spaces.

Four of those on the ballot took part in the event. In order of appearance from left to right on the stage (with the time of their first contribution) they are:

KATHERINE FLETCHER - Conservative (2'07)

PAUL FOSTER - Labour (3'17)

ANDY HUNTER - Reform UK (4'58)

ANGE TURNER - Liberal Democrats (6'44)

The one other candidate for the South Ribble constituency, who was unable to attend, is:

STEPHANI MOK - Green Party
