Share 11 views As a Party attempting to revive rebuild and reorganise as a campaigning and well organised electoral Party locally, this election could be said to have come to soon for us. In the end despite running the foundations of a good campaign we came 4th of 4 and have much work to do to really get our message across and make sure democracy works against the Lib-Dem hegemony. What is more interesting is that even with a low turn out whi...

Share 9 views Isn't it time we were proactive about protecting Land from Development. One of the ways to do this is to seek Village Green status for open spaces. One of the Largest open spaces in Lewes is Malling Brooks and the Old Uckfield line railway cut, commonly called Malling Recreation ground. To obtain village green status, residents need to prove that the land has been used for impromptu recreational activities for the past 20 ye...

Share 2 views So they say unemployment is down by some thirty odd thousand and stands at 2.4 million. But what is anyones future under the regime of cuts, decentralisation and denationalisation of the health service, projected privatisation of the Post Office.

Share 3 views We have been persuaded that it is inevitable, that perhaps we are to blame, that we must pay. The Tory ideology is based on servicing the countries debts 80% from public services and 20% taxes an ignorant distortion of the Pareto principle. So we will get from 10 – 40% less of everything….less police, less teaching staff, less hospital staff, less leisure facilities, less road repair, less environmental care and less...

Share 12 views The district Council have been asking for your ideas and input on the development of the area.  What our campaigner Jonathan Spencer finds interesting is the way this kind of thing is advertised and promoted.  Unless you are politically active or part of the group that always turn up at these things you were probably more aware of the fresh food market going on in Lewes Market Tower.  As Jonathan spencer says “most peo...

Share 36 views Talking to residents of Malling Street, looks like many of them have never seen a councillor , never mind actually get any of them to support them.  As our campaigner Jonathan Spencer and his colleagues talked to people on the doorsteps canvassing for votes in the byelection, the same story gets told: Traffic speeding at 40 50 and 60 mph in a 30mph zone, at times the road is almost impossible to cross.  One resident s...

Share 23 views The ex-Labour, ex Independent, now LiberalDem/Tory Mr Stockdale has been busy with his first class post mailing hundreds of Labour Voters with his reminder that using your postal vote is important. It would seem this has galvanised support but not always for him and his Liberal Democrat  friends. I am reminded of Jack straw reminding Nick Clegg, when he anounced the referendum in Parliament that in opposition Mr Clegg called t...
