Nusrat Ghani, MP for Sussex Weald, was pleased to meet with the founders of Two Tails Taproom, to learn about the exciting plans for the opening of its permanent home on Heathfield High Street. 
  
The fantastic team behind the business, Deena & Colin Gilham, have been running pop-up events at Union Church and have been working hard to transform the former independent womenswear and clothing boutique at 37 High Street into a permanent base. 
  
Once open, Two Tails Taproom, which already enjoys wide support from local residents, will not only be Heathfield’s first drink-led venue in the town centre, but also the first and only micropub anywhere in the Wealden district. 
  
The new venue will allow more community events and provide a welcoming space for residents to enjoy the best of locally sourced beer, wine, cider and spirits from independent Sussex producers. 
  
Nusrat Ghani said: “Pubs are at the heart of our local communities, boosting our local economy, serving the best of our local produce, and providing a safe, friendly space for socialising. I am delighted that Deena and Colin are putting Heathfield on the map as the home of Wealden’s first micropub and I’m pleased to support them along the way. I wish them all the best for the months ahead and I look forward to seeing Two Tails Taproom’s permanent home on the High Street transform into an exciting, new social hub.”

Pubs are the heart of our Wealden communities. I am dedicated to ensuring that the 78 pubs and 8 breweries which are based in Wealden will continue to thrive. Pubs and breweries contribute a huge amount locally, both to the economy and to the social life of the community.
Farming

Championing our Farmers

Wealden is a beautiful place, with rolling countryside, stunning forests and energetic towns. Wealden is also home to many amazing farms, which are the lifeblood of rural life. I want to build a Rural Powerhouse, one known for its thriving small businesses, including its farms and vineyards, as for the beauty of its countryside.

Holding regular surgeries throughout the constituency

When I was campaigning for your vote during the election, I promised that I would be accountable to you. When you did me the honour of electing me as Wealden's MP and it was time to give my maiden speech in the House of Commons, I pledged to follow the advice of Winnie the Pooh when he said that "You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes."
