Dear Minister, please don’t ignore my constituents.

Copy of letter sent to the Secretary of State asking for a meeting about the cadet camp in Crowborough

Dear Minister, please don’t ignore my constituents.

Nusrat Ghani, MP for Sussex Weald has renewed her calls on the new Government to address concerns about the use of the cadet and blue light services facility in Crowborough.

Nusrat said: “I have reached out to the new Secretary of State asking him to meet me with me and to discuss the use of the cadet camp at Crowborough. It is disappointing that the Government is ignoring correspondence on the issue and seemingly has no plan to return the training camp to its intended use.

Crowborough is one of several thriving towns in my constituency and there is an overwhelming sense of community spirit. There is so much good work going on by local groups and organisations, yet all of this is overshadowed by the Government’s decision to take control of the cadet camp and remove it as a local community resource. I receive so many enquiries from local groups and residents, regardless of their perspective, they feel the whole situation is unfair and believe they are being ignored.

I have published a copy of my letter to the new Secretary of State, Wes Streeting, as I want to be absolutely transparent about my ongoing campaigning against the decision taken by the Government.
