I'm proud to be standing for the Labour Party in my home ward of Baird in May 2024.

Labour's efforts to protect The Ridge Fire Station, spearheaded by our excellent candidate for MP Helena Dollimore, is hugely important for myself and other residents of Baird.

As a councillor, I'd continue to work to protect this important community asset and others across Baird ward.

Plans for 'downgrading' of Hastings fire station have been dropped, say campaigners Campaigners are celebrating, having scored a victory in their fight against the ‘downgrading’ of a Hastings fire station.

The NHS has transformed lives for 75 years.

Today we thank the dedicated staff who continue to deliver lifesaving work.

Labour will embrace new technology, focus on preventing illnesses and ensure we have more care in the community to future proof our health service.

"Labour councillors in Hastings are demanding that the county council reinstates the agency agreement with Hastings Borough Council, to bring back a locally managed, more efficient service. Ali and Liam will be supporting that strongly. We need our roads maintained effectively and locally in the best possible way, not in a way that’s driven by irrational ideological motives."

Like Peter, I agree that than a Conservative county council that neglects Hastings roads and services within the community. Only Labour can and will hold the Tories in both borough and county to account.
