More than 100 Addingham residents put pressing local issues to an MP, councillors and other key figures at a question time session hosted by Addingham Civic Society.
The session was held at Bracken Ghyll Golf Club and was chaired by former Look North presenter and Money Programme producer Judith Stamper.
Answering questions were Keighley MP Kris Hopkins, retiring northern editor of The Guardian Martin Wain-wright, Bradford Council’s assistant director for planning and transportation, Julian Jackson, ward councillors Andrew Mallinson (Con, Craven) and Adrian Naylor (Ind, Craven), and Addingham Parish Council chairman, Catherine Coates.
The panel dealt with questions on topics ranging from Addingham’s “traffic blight”, wind turbines and the economic health to Wharfedale, to gay marriage, Lord Coe for Prime Minister and police commissioners.
