One Cambridgeshire County Councillor, on 7:30pm Sun 25 April 2021
Three Cambridge City Councillors, on 7:30pm Mon 26 April 2021
These two Petersfield Hustings were arranged both to help inform 2021 voting choices and to help hold to account those elected on May 6th 2021.

Our Petersfield Hustings process has involved three phases of questions to the Candidates.
First, all 16 Candidates standing in Petersfield were invited to respond to 6 Intro Questions.
Second, people who live, work, volunteer or study in Petersfield were invited to submit Questions to the Candidates for both City and County Council 2021 Elections. Similar questions were combined and ranked by the Hustings team for importance & specificity to Petersfield and frequency of submission. Merged versions of 17 submitted 'County' questions and 15 submitted 'City' questions were then posed in the form of 5 and 4 questions (respectively) at the two live Hustings events.
Third, all public questions that could not be accommodated within the time constraints of the two Live Hustings were sent immediately following each event to all of the Candidates standing for that election. Each Candidate was invited to respond to any or all of the questions for their election; all answers received are available here.
This page also gives our own zoom tips for:
• members of the public (i.e., viewers);
• our Hustings Time-Keeper;
• our Chat-Question Collator;
