Stand Up For East Sussex!


Conservative East Sussex County Council has launched an online video campaign seeking fairer government funding for the county. "Stand Up For East Sussex" asks residents to sign a petition to the Prime Minister demanding an urgent intervention over public services.
Savings of £58m are due to be made by 2021 under current council plans. Since 2010 the council has made savings of £112m, enough, it said, to meet the yearly costs of caring for 5,600 vulnerable people or to repair two million potholes.
Council leader Keith Glazier said it had "reached the point where national support for East Sussex has shrivelled to harmfully-low levels. We're only 50 miles from Westminster but sometimes it feels as though the needs of the people who live and work here are out of sight." 
I've signed... Here's a link for you at the council website.
