A DATE has been set for a rescheduled hustings event in Abingdon.

The political debate at Abingdon School’s Amey Theatre was postponed from Tuesday, after the Manchester attack suspended General Election campaigning.

Abingdon Chamber of Commerce, which is co-organising the event alongside the Church in Abingdon, has announced the new date as Monday, June 5.

It will take place from 7.30pm until 9.30pm and will see parliamentary candidates for Oxford West and Abingdon answer pre-submitted questions.
