Pauls' Campaign Diary

29 May campaigning in Devonshire ward

The Eastbourne Labour team was out and about around Winchcombe Road, Dursley Road, and Bourne Street. We met voters and chatted about local concerns. It always interesting to hear what people care about. I met people concerned about the backlog in the courts, about waiting times for NHS treatment, about local schools, and about the rubbish in the alleyways between houses.

One resident was concerned about rats – and seagulls – feeding on the rubbish. Where are the local councillors? The alleys are ‘unadopted’ so perhaps councillors will say ‘nothing to do with us’ but surely public health comes before the blame game. Get it sorted!
