Last week, I visited the Children’s Centre at Egerton Park. It is facing closure due to East Sussex needing to put more of its budget in adult social care. This could also cause the loss of the nursery which sits below the children’s centre. It will be a huge blow to lose these services.

Whilst Brexit plays out in Parliament, or frustratingly does not, closer to home there are very pressing matters which need our attention.

Mountfield Heath School officially opened its doors on 14th June 2019.

Bexhill was described as 'the Wild West of parking' by an MP after she visited the town to get to grips with the issue.

Huw Merriman, MP for Heathfield, visited Cross in Hand CE Primary School last Friday, on their annual Sports Day, to celebrate the importance of PE and school sport to young people’s wellbeing.

This week, a number of ‘estimates days’ debates took place in Parliament. These debates take place each year to discuss the level of public spending by government departments.

In Education questions, Huw raised concerns he had with the closure of Broad Oak Primary School and the wider issue of driving development in areas where school places aren’t being filled.

The refurbishment of Battle railway station, considered to be one of the finest buildings of its type in the country, has been given the seal of approval by Huw Merriman, MP for Bexhill and Battle.

The last fortnight has been dominated by the contest to elect the next Prime Minister. What started as a wide open field of twelve will be whittled down to two. Members of the Conservative Party will then select the winner from the finalists. 

A number of our schools are on, or near, busy and dangerous roads. Many are struggling to recruit school crossing staff to help the pupils and parents cross safely to get to and from school.
