"I have had the privilege to have worked as a Cabinet Member of the Council, with responsibilities for schools, waste management, transport including road maintenance and now as Deputy Leader of the Council I have responsibility for setting the budget, setting Council Tax and making sure the money, your money, goes where it is needed most.
"I have kept engaged with colleagues across the country in order to help secure the services that we must always provide for the elderly, the vulnerable of all ages, and to do what we can to keep communities safe and healthy.
"You may also be assured that I will always represent the communities I serve on contentious issues or where there are opportunities to enhance social value.
PROTECT the High Weald, says NIck
The draft Wealden Local Plan proposes substantial housing growth, raising major concerns about landscape impact, heritage pressures and traffic capacity within the High Weald.
The scale of proposed growth in some locations places considerable pressure on rural roads, drainage, heritage settings, and landscape character.
Nick Bennett says: “I am really worried by the sheer scale of housing proposed by the Green Party, Lib-Dem and Labour Alliance’s plan for Wealden District.
“We live in one of the most historic and environmentally-sensitive areas in the country, and once its character is lost, it cannot be restored. “
