Eastbourne Labour
Welcome to the Eastbourne Constituency Labour Party website
The forthcoming East Sussex County Council elections are not a time for tactical voting, they are County wide and an opportunity to increase Labour Representation in our area.
East Sussex County Council is currently composed of 50 councillors who recieve 74% of your Council Tax:
22 Conservatives
11 Liberal Democrats
6 Green Party
5 Labour
2 Independent Democrats
2 Reform UK
2 Independents
They deal with the following areas of public service in which the Labour Government is already investing but unfortunately that funding is not being passed on to local communities:
-
Education
-
Transport
-
Planning
-
Fire and public safety
-
Social care
-
Libraries
-
Waste management
-
Trading standards
Pot holes are a prime example – this Labour Government has given a record allocation of £21 million for East Sussex County Council to fix potholes but the repairs are still not being undertaken. We need greater Labour representation in the region to address this problem of withheld local funding.
Our candidate in Devonshire – Paul Richards
We want to build a Britain that works for the majority.
That means keeping our communities safe, giving our schools and local communities the funding they need and restoring the NHS to its place as the envy of the world.
We need your help to do this so please come and get involved to help build a Britain that works for the many and not the few:
You may wish to join us at our monthly meetings, take part in community events that we support, or campaign at election time.
