The ‘News’ has always been committed to questioning our local politicians and officials whenever it is necessary.

We also recognise that our readers may have their own questions which they rarely get the chance to ask directly.

In the run up to the important North Coast local by-election we want to hear what questions the local community wants to ask of the five prospective candidates ahead of the vote on Thursday 30 October.

Just send your question to us either via email to kdyson@largsnews.co.uk or via a private message on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/largsandmillportnews.

Please ensure the questions are directed at all five candidates.

We will select the five best questions and ask the candidates to reply in next week’s edition.

Questions should be submitted no later than 2pm on Friday 17 October.
