People are talking about Labour’s five-point plan for Eastbourne. Unlike the other parties, Labour is offering a positive message of change. We are talking about the issues that matter to local people: the town centre, policing, local schools, the DGH, water quality and the environment, and regeneration of our town.
There are just a few hours left of this campaign before the bulk of the electorate go to the polls. Many postal votes have already been cast. People are still making their minds up. I don’t believe the opinion polls for a moment. As a veteran of the 1992 election campaign, I know how wrong polls can be, and what it’s like to wake up on a Friday morning with another five years of the Tories. That’s why we’re campaigning down to the wire, taking nothing for granted.
