I have lived in Bexhill for the past 15 years and have seen firsthand the devastating impact of cuts to services in the community.

Full statement

Whether it be the lack of decent transport links and school places, the rise in homelessness coupled with cuts to homelessness support or the countless potholes in the road, it is clear our council are unable to provide even the most basic services we need.

This isn't because our council are cruel or incompetent, it is because governments of different parties have spent decades making drastic cuts to local government and attacking public services.

TUSC stands for organising communities and local councils to fight these cuts and propose needs budgets that are drafted based on what communities like Bexhill need rather than passing on cuts from central government.

We are the only party prepared to say we won't pass cuts under any circumstances and we believe in building a party of the working class that will fight for us rather than the super rich!
