With a population of 25,000 and rising, Hailsham is larger than the towns of Uckfield, Crowborough, Lewes and Rye. Yet each of those smaller East Sussex towns has something that Hailsham still lacks - a community hospital.
As many of you will know, the Tory-controlled Wealden District Council has been conducting a public consultation "Direction of Travel" regarding the drafting of a new Wealden Local Plan, necessary because their previous one was rejected and scrapped a year ago. Members of the public who live in the Wealden area are being encouraged to participate. The responses should guide the council's approach to housing and land use over the next few years. The consultation will close at midnight on Monday January 18th so there is now very limited time to respond.
Following the inspiring and informative virtual Q&A with Lib Dem MP Tim Farron at our virtual AGM in November (which left everyone wanting more!) we are thrilled that Tim has agreed to return for an hour-long virtual Curious Conversation via Zoom on Thursday January 21 from 7-8pm.
Our Crowborough campaigners and activists including Lib Dem County Council candidate James Partridge (pictured) will be out and about this weekend delivering the Crowborough 2020 Christmas Focus - and of course everyone is taking care to be fully COVID compliant.
Calling all Wealden residents - we would love to hear your views!
