The meeting was chaired by Canon Stephen Hance and featured Andrew Beadle (UKIP), Neil Coyle (Labour) JP Floru (Conservative), Simon Hughes (Lib Dem) and William Lavin (Green).
Two further candidates – independent Lucy Hall and Republican Socialist Steve Freeman – made contributions from the floor.
