A former BBC Look North presenter will chair a question time session in Addingham, as villagers ask local figures for answers on big issues.

Judith Stamper, who is today deputy head and principal teaching fellow in broadcast journalism at Leeds University, has agreed to chair the debate, organised by Addingham Civic Society, at Bracken Ghyll Golf Club on Friday, January 11.

She said: “I can’t wait to hear local Addingham folk tackle some of their representatives as well as some experts and stakeholder in this live forum – it’ll be a pleasure and privilege to chair the debate.”

Villagers have been invited to send in questions ahead of the session, which starts at 7.30pm.

Questions can be mailed to info@addinghamcivicsociety.co.uk
