Part 1: These are Erith and Thamesmead candidates' views on the NHS, education, crime and local issues this General Election 2017

Left to right: Simon Waddington for the Liberal Democrats, Teresa Pearce for the Labour Party and Edward Baxter for the Conservatives.

• Housing

Teresa Pearce: We need to build more homes of all tenures making use of brownfield sites and ensuring that developers build homes of a good standard at an affordable price, we need to give more power to planning departments to make sure that we build communities not just flats. We also need to regulate the Private Rented Sector as at present so much of it is too costly and of a poor standard.

Edward Baxter: Housing development and renewal is particularly important in Erith and Thamesmead. I will work with the community, Bexley and Greenwich Councils, Peabody and others for a joined up masterplan. I have the skills and experience to do this. We need a clear overall vision, then rapid improvements, and new house building at a rate that lets families stay together and the area grow, but doesn't swamp us

Simon Waddington: At this election the Liberal Democrats are proposing empowering local authorities and housing associations to build new affordable homes for the public and social rental markets, we will set up a new government-backed housing and infrastructure development bank to enable this to happen. As well as increasing the size of the rental housing stock we wish to enable young people to get onto the housing ladder, so the Liberal Democrats will introduce a rent to own scheme for those under 30, easing the path the first time buyers.

• Brexit

Teresa Pearce: I voted to remain and was saddened that the country voted leave. However the decision has been made and we must do everything we can to make sure that the powers brought back from Brussels do not stay in Westminster but are devolved down to local communities. The Labour Party accepts the result of the referendum, so the challenge is to make it work in the best interests of our Country, our businesses and every one of us.

Edward Baxter: I'm standing with Theresa May to get the best Brexit deal possible - to deliver the jobs and investment we need. Only she can do it. I'm asking you to lend us your vote once in this election in the national interest. Every single vote will strengthen the UK's negotiating position. A vote for any other party would mean a coalition of chaos - we would end up with Brexit imposed on us in a way that no one wants - however you voted in the referendum

Simon Waddington: The reason I joined the Liberal Democrats is because of all the British political parties it is the Liberal Democrats which are the most instinctively international in outlook.  We believe the solutions to many of the world's problems, are most effectively solved by cooperation between nations. So I am proud to belong to a party which is stating uncategorically that once the negotiations with the European Union are complete that the government must go back to the British people and put the terms of the negotiations to a vote in a new referendum.

• Environment and air pollution?

Teresa Pearce: Poor air quality in parts of London is a "public health emergency". Children lungs and brains are being stunted by breathing noxious air and I think we should bring in a Clean Air Act as a matter of priority.

Edward Baxter: We are blessed with woods, green space and the river. Heading into London as many of us do, air pollution is an underestimated problem for health. I'd like to see the small proportion of vehicles that make 80% of local pollution fixed. I'd like traffic flowing more, not idling. I worry that there is no "Planet B" for our children. As an expert on energy policy, I see that we need a long term and consistent policy for our energy mix. My family works hard to reduce, reuse and recycle what we use.

Simon Waddington: By introducing an air quality plan as well as extending the lower emissions zone to 10 other towns and cities around the country, the Liberal Democrats seek to prevent some of the 40,000 deaths a year which occur due to air pollution. As a party the Liberal Democrats are committed to supporting cutting edge investment in research into smarter energy solutions for the future, from energy storage to offshore wind and tidal power, the Liberal Democrats believe that by 2030 60% of our electricity can be generated from renewable energy sources.

• Favourite movie?

Teresa Pearce: Cinema Paradiso.

Edward Baxter: Chariots of Fire: It's about sticking to principles - Christian and other - and winning the Olympics.

Simon Waddington: My favourite film is without doubt The Third Man, I love old school film noir.
