Mr Porter said: “ Ellyse was a fantastic chair for the debate and Chloe and Charlotte were both eloquent and persuasive in equal measure as they proposed the social and economic case for building on the greenbelt. They did a fantastic job at debating and we look forward to seeing who they will face in the next round.”
