In all her time as Chairman of Wealden District Council, Pat failed to address the housing shortage, affordability for young families and to draft a plan with any reasonable change of success to combat climate change. Well done Pat? This is not all the fault of the Conservative Party, when Labour get in and even the Liberal Democrats, not a lot changes.

Possibly, we need the Green Party to have any realistic chance of meeting our obligations under the Climate Change Act 2008. Empire building appears to be the name of the game in East Sussex, but houses with no energy harvesting facilities and super expensive to cater for the rich - but nothing for the poor. Shame on you Patricia!

The National Debt is not much better. As a county we owe £ trillions of pounds with staggering interest charges and all because of overspending. No political party seems to understand economics. They keep borrowing to build submarines and aircraft carriers that we cannot afford.

Why not spend that money becoming energy self-sufficient? Why not invest in an electric infrastructure for clean transport to save the country money in the long term and reduce our carbon footprint.

The fat cat landlords who are milking the system, very rarely reinvest there immoral earnings in this country. They typically take expensive holidays overseas and buy property there too - so removing money from the British economy. What about taxing air travel and what about fairer taxes that actually get spent on what the tax is collected for?

NEW STATUTE

We propose a new law that forces any Government to only spend taxes on what they were labeled as being collected for. We wonder what Her Majesty would think of that?

THE ARGUS AUGUST 2004

The Conservatives comfortably retained control of Wealden with a majority of 13 seats.

The Tories won 34 seats, the Liberal Democrats 15 and six fell to independents.

The Lib Dems saw group leader Eddie Rice lose his seat in Rotherfield as they failed to make the longed-for breakthrough.

Labour failed to win a single seat on the council despite high hopes in Uckfield.

The Polegate Residents Association caused one of the biggest upsets when Ivy Scarborough won Polegate South, a former Lib Dem stronghold.

She said: "What we have offered people is the choice of looking at local issues and not national politics."

Independents also polled strongly in Hailsham and Crowborough but it was the Tories who continued to dominate.

Tory leader Nigel Coltman said: "I think people have respected that when we say we are going to be more careful with the council taxpayers' money we mean it and we have proved it."

The Lib Dems tried to hide their disappointment.

Stephen Shing, one of three victorious Lib Dems at Willingdon said: "I was quite disappointed we did not do as well as we wanted as a whole.

"In Willingdon we did extraordinarily well. If we work hard we will get a vote."

The new council has 55 seats. There have been major boundary changes since the last local elections in 1999, meaning none of the winners were sitting candidates.

WIKIPEDIA - LOCAL ELECTIONS 2003

.A major issue at the election in 2003 was council tax after it increased by 18%, 5.1% of which was due to Wealden Council. The Conservatives blamed the increase on the government providing a poor grant to the council, while the Liberal Democrats called for the council tax to be replaced by a local income tax. Another issue was housing with the Conservatives called for more land to be released for low cost housing, but the Liberal Democrats attacked the number of houses to be built, saying the infrastructure needed to be improved first. Both the Labour party and local independents also campaigned against the 1,300 houses to be built in Hailsham, with the independents saying more houses should be built in the north of the council area.

The Conservatives said they would tackle littering and continue the household recycling scheme, while the Liberal Democrats called for policing to be improved and for the council to be modernised. Meanwhile, Labour aimed to win their first seat on the council in Uckfield and called for the council to abolish the reduction in council tax for second homes.

The Liberal Democrats also lost seats after 2 Hailsham councillors, Nick and Madeline Ellwood, were expelled from the party, and a further 2, John Glover and Ian Haffenden, resigned from the party in protest. The 4 councillors who resigned formed a Wealden Independents party, while the leader of the Liberal Democrat group on the council, Allan Thurley, stepped down over the expulsions and was succeeded by Eddie Rice.
