The positive difference a Labour government and MP can make to our town.

The Labour Hastings & Rye MP is putting pressure on Southern Water to fix the water leak on the London Road. Helena will continue to hold Southern Water to account when they fail to fix water leaks quickly.

Latest update Sunday morning on the St Leonards water leak

I’ve spoken to Southern Water who repaired the leak overnight. They also discovered a sinkhole under the road in the process which means resurfacing will be a bigger job. I’ve asked them to let me know how long this will take, and confirm that only the area 103-109 London Road will be impacted during this work. I’ve also asked for info on how long this leak was occurring during a heatwave when we know water is scarce, and what systems they had in place to detect it… More soon when I get it.

🚰I have also asked them to urgently update me on the two other sink holes which I reported to them last week in St Leonards!

🚰Also, I’ve seen reports in a local Facebook group of someone on London Rd losing water, if this affects you please email me [email protected] with your address and details, as the poster is anonymous I can’t report this without more info.

The positive difference that a Labour government can make.

Since being elected as our MP, I have been standing up for local children and raising our education challenges at the highest levels of government. Following my Schools Summit, which brought together headteachers from every school in Hastings, Rye and the villages for the first time, the Labour Government has listened. That is why we are the first in the country to be chosen for this new landmark scheme.
Now local schools will get the expert backing, extra support and collaboration they need to raise standards and change outcomes for young people in Hastings, Rye and the villages.

There is a question mark over the future of Hastings Pier with a court declaring it a frozen asset and MP Helena Dollimore saying it has become ‘neglected’.

Our MP secures more investment for the town. This time for Education services.

This explains why potholes are so bad in the town. Well done to our MP for holding East Sussex County Council to account.
