This debate will allow our readers to get to the heart of the key issues our city faces, and to help people decide who they want to vote for. The important thing is that everyone turns out to vote on the day."Katrina Bunker, Editor at BBC Radio Sheffield, said: "I'm really pleased to be working with our local newspapers again for this important debate. The first time our region will have an elected mayor, a significant step in devolution. We've found that working together across the local media for events like this helps us have a bigger conversation with more impact. I hope lots of people will take up the opportunity to come along and find out more about the candidates."Elections will take place on Thursday, May 3, the deadline to register to vote is 12noon on Tuesday, April 17.If you would like to attend the debate, email [email protected]
