Great news for residents of Polegate and Willingdon that the council has secured land for a new medical facility. Fingers crossed that Seaford will soon benefit from a similar development.

Labour taking the Meatloaf approach. "I'll do anything for growth, but I won't do that!" 👇
”Ruthless pragmatism" - really? Then act in the national interest: do what it takes to protect British business and jobs.
That means a new UK-EU customs union to cut costs for importers and exporters.
Fewer barriers, more growth.

Our communities in Sussex need real funding for local health facilities including in Seaford and Polegate/Willingdon. People deserve access to a GP or dentist when they need and I'll continue to push for that + funding for improving Eastbourne hospital.

Once again, the elephant in the NHS waiting room was ignored in the budget; the ongoing crisis in social care. It’s time for cross-party talks to address this crisis now.

The FT have reported that Southern Water’s finances have hit serious trouble, with debts soaring over £6bn.
Another example of a privatised utility on the brink - why are customers and the environment paying the price for these financial messes?

It makes no sense for the govt to drag their feet on a youth mobility scheme with the EU. It is a win-win that can be negotiated without revisiting the main Brexit agreement. If the 'reset' not just an empty gesture then Starmer and co need to press on with it.

Great to be out in Denton today with Cllr Lesley Boniface listening to local residents. Hearing concerns on traffic, health access, flooding and a range of local issues. Reported some missing street signs while we were out and about too.
