]]> Comment on Labour calls Lewes Council to account by jonathan spencer http://www.leweslabour.org.uk/2009/02/hello-world/comment-page-1/#comment-297 jonathan spencer Mon, 22 Mar 2010 20:13:19 +0000 http://www.leweslabour.org.uk/?p=1#comment-297 There are articles on this website about local campaigners and candidates. Lewes needs some positive change, we may not expect great things of Labour in Lewes, but we do expect those in powerful positions locally to be answerable and to act and to work for Lewes. This is not just true for those who run the councils but also those who are elcted in opposition. I can think of one councillor of great integrity, for whom this is true, but across the Town and District I can think of very few others.

As I hope you are aware, Saturday 17 October is World Day for the Eradication of Poverty and on the weekend of 16-18 October 2009, millions of people worldwide will stand up and take action against poverty. More than 116 million people took action at this time last year. This period ends just 20 days before the G20 Finance Ministers’ meeting in Scotland and 50 days before the global climate talks in Copenhagen. These meetings will be critical to achieving a just world economy. 16-18 October 2009 will also fall in the run up to a UK General Election, after which many MPs will be new. Because of the global crisis, and because of the nearing election, decision makers are increasingly receptive to demands for action on poverty and climate change. Now it is time for a nationwide push to make trade injustice, climate change, insufficient aid and unfinished debt cancellation, things of the past. I hope you will take an active role in this endeavour.

Where have they come from? Are they Sussex people? Why are they averse to possessive apostrophes? Where did they go to school? What qualifications do they have to be councillors, whether for town, district or county? Do they have business experience? What makes them think Labour has any chance in Lewes?

]]> Comment on Lewes – where’s the affordable social housing? by admin http://www.leweslabour.org.uk/2009/02/lewes-wheres-the-affordable-social-housing/comment-page-1/#comment-3 admin Mon, 02 Mar 2009 13:07:41 +0000 http://www.leweslabour.org.uk/?p=58#comment-3 Thanks for your comment, but LDC has it would seem reacted to a persistent campaign from Lewes Labour to provide more social housing. The Lewes House site, has never been the most popular development in Lewes and will become social housing only because, no one is likely to buy. It was not previously planned as social housing. It is of course, the Labour Government that is encouraging this kind of development to stimulate the economy and provide the social housing that areas like Lewes so badly need. Like the free swimming initiative - funded and proposed by central Government - that the local council like to propose as their own. The LDC like to promote others initiatives as their own, mainly because they have no initiative.

The Lewes House site is set to deliver ONLY affordable housing if the developers can't get the finance for the rest. This is pretty desperate stuff. I came to look at your website to see if I should consider voting Labour here, but your unsubstantiated attacks have completely put me off. They’ve exceeded it by 30%.
