The candidates standing to be South Ribble's next MP have set out differing visions for devolution in Lancashire - and whether the county needs a mayor in the mould of Greater Manchester's Andy Burnham. <br /><br />The Lancashire Post, Lancashire Lead, Blog Preston and the Local Democracy Reporting Service invited all five candidates contersting the South Ribble seat at next week's general election to a debate in which they fielded questions from voters. <br /><br />Four of those on the ballot took part in the event. In order of appearance from left to right on the stage, they are: <br /><br />KATHERINE FLETCHER - Conservative <br /><br />PAUL FOSTER - Labour <br /><br />ANDY HUNTER - Reform UK <br /><br />ANGE TURNER - Liberal Democrats <br /><br />The one other candidate for the South Ribble constituency, who was unable to attend, is: <br /><br />STEPHANI MOK - Green Party
