Ullapool confirms six candidates’ attendance at General Election hustings for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross constituency
Ullapool is to host general election hustings for politicians in the running to represent Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross.
Lochbroom Community Council (LBCC) have announced they will be hosting six out of the seven candidates in the running for the Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross constituency in the next general election.
In 2019, Ullapool fell into the Ross, Skye and Lochaber constituency for the last general election - however a new boundary change means that Ullapool is now within the Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross footprint for the upcoming election.
