Making sure that Government continues to invest in our health services,campaigning with Save the DGH, lobbying for a new GP practice and a hospital shuttle-bus, championing carers.
Ensuring every child gets the very best start in life through an effective voice to ensure our schools are properly funded,and supporting the planning for the brand new, purpose built, nursery-to-16 special school for Eastbourne opening in 2020.
I secured millions of government money to help Eastbourne’s economy, but we need more and more innovation too. I support the campaign for Eastbourne to gain South Downs ‘Eastern Gateway Town’status to boost tourism and local jobs.
Fighting for the Polegate Lewes A27 bypass, for High Speed Rail to come to Eastbourne, a second run way at Gatwick, and action on journey times across the town.
More police on the beat is top of the list, so I will fight for our share of the 20,000 new officers announced by the Government. I’ll support plans to build the right homes in Eastbourne, and ensure they are sustainable and affordable so that local people can live in them.
We must do all we can to protect our environment. So, I voted to make Eastbourne a carbon neutral town by 2030, and was instrumental in gaining Marine Conservation Status for Beachy Head East. I’ll put tackling pollution, poor local air quality, and single use plastics top of my agenda.
