In June 2024, Durham Cathedral Institute and Durham Churches Together hosted a General Election Hustings for the City of Durham constituency.
The event, chaired by the Dean of Durham, Philip Plyming, was a chance for people to hear from local candidates and there was the opportunity for the audience to ask questions.
Parliamentary candidates included Green candidate Jonathan Elmer, Labour candidate Mary Foy, Conservative candidate Luke Holmes, Reform UK candidate Mark Belch and Liberal Democratic candidate Mark Wilkes.
