YOU CAN SIGN THE EAST SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL PETITION HERE
We are asking the people of East Sussex to sign our petition which calls on the Government to give our county a fairer deal.
East Sussex has made savings of £112 million since the start of the decade. That would have been enough to pay for the annual care of 5,600 vulnerable people or to fix 2 million potholes.
—East Sussex County Council, 3 October 2017
THE PETITION
Our petition to the Prime Minister calls for an urgent re-think about the resources it gives to East Sussex and the real difficulties that cuts in funding mean for many people who live here.
We’re also asking for more power over the decisions which affect us, from where to invest in transport to how to help people get the skills they need for good jobs and higher wages.
We know that East Sussex is a wonderful place to grow up, work and retire. We work with all our partners to carefully manage the resources we have and build on our successes wherever we can.
But we are telling the Government that we need a fair deal for East Sussex, one that recognises our particular needs and situation. Every signature will help, we hope as many people as possible who live or work in East Sussex will take a minute to add their name to the petition.
