Labour’s General Election candidate for Lichfield has confirmed he will not be attending the hustings event tonight.

Candidates are due to face each other at Wade Street Church this evening (May 31).

But Chris Worsey, who will contest the seat once again for Labour after coming second in 2015, said he would not be at the hustings.

He said: “I made clear I couldn’t make this date but unfortunately they weren’t able to rearrange.

“It’s a shame because I really enjoyed the debate at the cathedral last time round.”
