Candidates standing for election to Parliament took part in some verbal jousting at a hustings event last night.

Four of the candidates seeking election for the Chesham and Amersham constituency hoped to persuade residents to cast their votes their way during the event at St Mary's Church in Chesham.

Cheryl Gillan of the Conservatives, Labour's Ben Davies, Alan Stevens of UKIP and the Lib Dems' Kirsten Johnson all took part, but the Greens' Gill Walker was unable to attend.

The candidates are set to do battle in another hustings event tomorrow night at St Peter and St Paul Church in Great Missenden. The Bishop of Buckingham, Alan Wilson, will chair the event.
