We took to the streets of Coleraine to find out what matters most to voters in East Londonderry

The state of the health service, education and public finances were foremost in voters' minds in Coleraine with just days to go before the election.

With a total of nine candidates standing in the historically unionist constituency, voters weren't shy about sharing their views."I think the key issue for me and for most people actually would be health", one gentleman told us. "I know they've got an impossible task to try and balance the books and, and I think any thinking individual would understand that, but health needs to be a top priority - as well as education".

Public finances were also a concern for several people who stopped to share their views. "There's not enough money coming into the country," one retired voter said. Another gentleman who stopped to talk said: "I think whenever you look at the health service, something needs to be done about that in my mind. Obviously the next priority would be education. I think children's education is important, but the health service would be right up there for me."
