NIGEL RE-ELECTED

District Councillor Ron Cussons and Willingdon and Jevington Conservative Chairman Richard Broady met recently with Nigel Waterson MP to hand over a local petition asking for improvements to the A27.

The petition calls for the Government to invest in the A27 between Lewes and Polegate and states that “since 2001 this stretch of single carriageway road has claimed 13 lives as it twist and turns an uneven route across East Sussex.

These deaths are unacceptable and the nature of the road is stifling investment by industry and commerce in Eastbourne and the surrounding area”.

The petitions have been available to sign at Aggi’s hair salon in Freshwater Square and the Triangle Pharmacy. Chairman Richard Broady said he would like to offer his thanks to these outlets for the support they have shown in the continuing campaign.
