Mid Sussex Liberal Democrats

The District Council elections are coming up on Thursday 2nd May. Here are our candidates for Hassocks:

Councillor Sue Hatton

Sue was a district councillor for eight years until 2015, and was re-elected in 2017. Since then she has been the only non-Conservative on Mid Sussex District Council. Of the fifty-four councillors, she was the only person to vote against the plans for the 500 houses at Clayton Mills North. Sue has lived in Hassocks for over forty years. Sue continues with her work as a Parish Councillor and as a governor of both Windmills Junior School and Downlands Community School.

Dear Mr Herbert,

I am writing this open letter in my capacity as the newly selected Liberal Democrat Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for our constituency of Arundel and South Downs. My reason for writing to you now is to ask you to reconsider your decision to support the Prime Minister's proposed EU withdrawal agreement.

Arundel & South Downs Liberal Democrats have selected a local candidate, described by colleagues as a 'rising star' of the party, as their Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the next general election.

In the week that saw the centenary of women being eligible to stand for parliament, party members gave their overwhelming backing to Alison Bennett when they met at a hustings event in West Chiltington on Tuesday (November 20).
