EG and Uckfield a much safer bet now for the Tories. I did the local election count a year ago and she and her team spent most of the time watching the Tory vote pile up in those wards while they lost control of everything else. Shortly afterwards she announced she was choosing the new seat...

I'm staggered at the level of support that Labour are claiming to have in Mid Sussex - at the last DC elections they polled 7% - but if true a very good chance the anti Tory vote will split and allow the appalling Kristy Adams in.

Save Our Town Burgess Hill (REMG) I have no idea what the REMG bit stands for.

There is a particularly lunatic FB group in Burgess Hill which was originally set up to save a mini roundabout (I kid you not) but which has morphed into a generally right wing / pro conspiracy cess pit in which local councillors are threatened (two have had to resign and the police are...

The Tories no longer control any Borough or District Council anywhere in Sussex. That is a massive shift in political choice across the County.

Labour and Lib Dem’s neck and neck with the Tories in the new Mid Sussex constituency according to some polls. Certainly won’t be a walkover for the Tories but a good chance the anti Tory vote will split the opposition and allow the shocking Kristy Adams in.

Sussex PCC count is Sunday.

Pisa is a lovely little city. We were there 5 years ago at this time before heading to Florence on the train. Take a walk around the city walls in Pisa for great views of the tower. In Florence we loved the central food market, great lunch spot.

PCC and town council by election here. I'm expecting the Tory candidate to win the town council election given how well the local Tories have whipped up feeling about an increase in car park charges imposed by the Lib Dem District Council.

Cants Lane area is generally fine, a couple of spots you might want to avoid close by.

Just bought a ST after having one for 10 years then having to sit out the last couple of years. I'm W3G/I/172 - anyone here close by?

And a Tory councillor in Haywards Heath is an admin of all 36 groups. No wonder they are losing control of Mid Sussex.

Presumably he can point to evidence of a corresponding decrease in asylum seekers arriving in the UK - or alternatively he is talking nonsense as usual.

I would drop my part time community bus service driving job instantly if this were to happen. Very counter productive as these sorts of jobs won't appeal to younger people.

I am working at the PCC count next month - if I spot any throbbing members I shall know who did it!

Hadn’t spotted that. Extraordinary! The electorate of Hertfordshire should be encouraged to visit Burgess Hill town centre to see the Ash Edwards legacy.

If you mean a Mims Davies, she is off to the new EG and Uckfield constituency. She saw the writing on the wall after the local elections last year. Kristy Adams is the Tories less than convincing replacement candidate. As I mentioned earlier, the polls in Mid Sussex suggest (remarkably) a three...

Perfectly relaxed about seeing Labour in power again, a spell of competent, focused leadership will stand in marked contrast to the total shambles we have now. But, here in Mid Sussex it’s a tough call as to who to vote for in order to ensure the dreadful Kristy Adams doesn’t win the seat for...

We have done ourselves for parents and each other. Relatively straightforward and clear guidance.

Another vote for Fish - the staff are really helpful and knowledgeable as well. Plus they have an online shop if you can't get to Hove.
