General Election 2015: What matters in Dewsbury
Ahead of the General Election 5 live Daily visits Dewsbury in West Yorkshire, home to a bustling open market for nearly 700 years.
In 2010 the Conservative Party narrowly won the marginal seat; now Labour wants it back.
Peter Allen finds out what matters most to the people he meets in the market and the local pub: from the headteacher who wants more apprenticeships, to the stallholders who want more support for local businesses and a buoyant economy.
Plus, a day after news that two teenagers from the town are believed to have travelled to Syria, Peter hears what local residents think about racial integration.
This clip is part of 5 live鈥檚 General Election coverage, first broadcast on 5 live Daily on Wednesday 8 April.
