The Lawrence Hill Neighbourhood Forum has partnered with the community union Acorn Bristol to organise a metro mayor hustings on Tuesday, April 29.

The event will take place at the St Anne's Board Mill Social Club in Redfield, between 7pm and 9pm that day.

Tickets are free for the event, but anyone wanting to attend has to RSVP to the organisers to get their name down.

The event is taking place in the heart of the controversial East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood, and is the de facto community hall for people in Redfield and Barton Hill - it was where the medical charity MedAct launched its report into the trauma suffered by residents of nearby Barton House.
