Town set to host its own Question Time
The future of a Westcountry town will be put in the spotlight next week when a Question Time-style evening takes place.
Penzance will be the focus of the special event taking place at The Ritz in the town next Thursday.
The topical debate will enable members of the public to quiz a panel of community representatives on some of the burning questions facing the town.
Issues such as the future of the Isles of Scilly sea link, Penzance heliport, supermarkets and empty shops are expected to be raised during the forum.

Admission is free, though there will be a collection towards the expenses of the Ritz Community Centre, the charity dedicated to saving the old Ritz cinema for the community. All are welcome.
