General Election: Our full interviews with the Watford candidates

In the run up to the general election on Thursday 4 July, we've been speaking to all the candidates standing in the Watford constituency.

In this article, you can listen to the full interviews with all seven candidates standing in the area, so you can make up your mind on who to vote for if you haven't already. 

We asked every candidate the same questions to give them all a fair chance to talk about their plans for Watford and important issues facing residents. Dean Russell, the last MP for Watford, was asked similar questions so he could discuss what he's already done for the town, and how he would build on his past work if re-elected. 

Still undecided? Tune into Vibe 107.6 FM on Tuesday 2 July at 7pm for our Election Special where we'll be hearing from all the candidates.

The polls open on Thursday 4 July at 7am and will close at 10pm. For more information on how to vote, and what photo ID you'll need to go in person to the polling station, follow this link: https://www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/election-2024
