Focus on the South Coast

At the Women’s TUC in Eastbourne on Thursday afternoon. Looking ahead to our conference on April 1st on Trade Union Equality reps. Then on to Hastings where - with local MP Mike Foster I opened the new 6th Form at William Parker. Then on to a dinner at Hastings Town Football Club with Labour Group Leader Jeremy Birch and all the councillors and candidates. There are 12 Labour councillors. They are hoping to make progress in the elections on May 1st. Lets hope the dynamic dozen turn into the sensational seventeen! Then Saturday in Hove for the Annual Conference of the South East Region of the Labour Party. Pride in what we’ve done so far, but concern about youth services, public sector pay, getting the message accross against the Tories and affordable housing. Good to see more than 200 there mobilising for the council elections.
