Your Labour Candidate - Haywards Heath, Heath Ward
SARAH GREENSLADE
District Council Candidate
I have lived in Haywards Heath nearly 20 years and now work in Haywards Heath too and I see first hand the need to have the Tory-lead Council held more to account. Better decisions are made when there is a wide range of views expressed. I have worked in central and local government, the private sector and now the not-for-profit sector and will use my experience to ensure better decisions are made at a local and district level. I have two children, one of whom is an adult and know first hand how important it is to ensure we have affordable local housing and prioritise caring for our green spaces and reducing pollution. If elected I will work hard to ensure Council officers work hard for the benefit of all local people especially the most vulnerable and the young who do not have a vote.
Vote Thursday 2nd May - don’t forget your poll card!
Time for change
The District and Town Councils are dominated by Conservatives. Electing Labour councillors will be a positive change for Haywards Heath. Only Labour has a vision that will make Mid Sussex a better place to live and work. Your Labour Councillors will:
- Insist on a sixth form college with high quality provision that meets the needs of the local community
- Ensure local representation on the sixth form college board of governors
- Fight for weekly refuse and cheaper green bin collections
- Oppose rent increases in the town to support local business
- Encourage a diverse and vibrant high street
- Require an enforceable minimum quota of 40% affordable housing in all developments
- Demand that money for roads, schools, GPs, community buildings, parks, sports facilities and open spaces is required from housing developers
- Listen to the views of train users and raise concerns with the appropriate authorities
- Raise concerns about hospital parking charges, to support hospital workers and users and reduce on-street parking in the local area
A VOTE FOR LABOUR IS A VOTE TO:
Stand up to speculative developers
Demand high building standards that include renewable energy
Create more affordable housing
Be more transparent about how council decisions are made
Bring back truly representative local planning committees
Put the environment and green space above profit
Balance the needs of business with the interests of the community
