Nancy Dalton 332 votes Green Party.
I work in the public sector.
As a Green Party Candidate and a mother I am concerned about the world my children and everything else's will inherit. I want a world with a future in which everyone has value irrespective of where they had the good or bad to be born. I believe that here in Eastbourne we need to pay our part in ensuring our planet has a future by combating global warming and working for fairness.
In particular I want to have a bus service, which meets the needs of local people and the many tourists who visit out town, I am tired of seeing empty buses, which have priced their customers back into their cars. I believe that any parking scheme needs to serve the town before providing profit to the company that gets the contract.
I am not a Freemason and I believe that every candidate and Councillor should declare membership just like any other interest they might have.

Kevin More 240 votes Green Party.
As a builder and a ratepayer I am concerned about the over development of Eastbourne to the detriment of our environment. We have seen the Crumbles providing short tem profit to the developers and little benefit to either the purchasers or the wider community.
We need fairness and we need to ensure that all developments are in keeping with the area and ensure that developers provide adequate services commensurate with the profits they make. We also need to ensure that affordable housing is an integral part of any sizeable development, perhaps as few as five housing units. Where will the low paid live if this fails to be met? Those who make the profit need to take their share of the civic responsibility and the council should allow this duty to be abrogated.
I am not a Freemason.

Key issues raised during door-step conversations, which if elected, the Ratton Councillors will address are:-
1) Tighter fiscal control of Council expenses.
2) More rigorous planning control of in-filling brown-field developments which have led to local resident's loss of privacy and are often environmentally unfriendly.
3) Total review of Council's recycling policy.
4) Through my extensive Production experience I promise a new approach to attract manufacturing operations to Eastbourne.
5) Review of Ratton bus services which many residents have identified as inadequate.
