At Friends Meeting House, 6 Mount St. Free, register here.
With Greater Manchester on the verge of electing its first ever Metro Mayor, this is your chance to quiz the mayoral candidates on what they will do to protect and enhance our environment.
Join us to find out where the candidates stand on key issues such as:
What can be done to tackle climate change and keep our homes safe from flooding?
How will we power our homes and businesses, and do we want fracking in Greater Manchester?
What can be done to protect nature and green spaces from development?
How do we deal with the air pollution crisis, and what does that mean for how we get around?
