Lewes Green Councillors

I have always been a supporter of the arts and leisure.  I feel FairTrade is essential and we need a Fairer Lewes with a better environment, but I had hoped that my local Green councillors would have done more.  

They complain about the Lib-Dem domination of the processes in the Town council, but what are they attempting to do about it?  They could have been challenging the Lib-Dems at every opportunity, they could have been campaigning for a better environment, by putting pressure on the District and County Council to repair cracked pavements, empty litter bins and stop the post code lottery of recycling facilities. 

However, the local Green Party tell us they have been enjoying looking at Baxter prints for an exhibition for an exhibition and been impressed by the Railway Land.   

I beleive that we deserve representatives who put basic services first, stand up to those who support the anachronistic way Lewes is run and who are willing to campaign for our everyday environment.  Then again, I am not a member of the Greens.

Perhaps they will offer some transparency on these matters? Matt has his own web site that [...]

    There is no place like home

     You may have heard the news that under this Tory-led Government, there has been a 17% increase in the number of families losing their homes. These aren’t just dry statistics – they are real families facing homelessness.  The Government must change course, stop cutting too far and too fast and come up with a Plan B for the economy – before more people lose their homes. Help us send that message by signing the petition
