Securing Government funding for Sussex Weald

I am campaigning to secure more Government funding for Wealden at every given opportunity.

Some examples include:

Securing funding for improvements to train stations in Crowborough, Eridge, Uckfield and Wadhurst
Securing funding for the Ashdown Forest
Securing more money for Sussex Police
Securing an additional 4.5% funding per Wealden school pupil
Securing funding for East Sussex Hospital upgrades in light of the Covid pandemic
£65 million to support Wealden businesses through the pandemic
Securing £125m for tackling domestic violence
Securing grants for Wealden culture venues and organisations via the Culture Recovery Fund
£1.57 billion package to support heritage and the wider cultural sector. This included funding for the Picture House in Uckfield, Hailsham Pavilion Cinema, Farleys House & Gallery, The Bluebell Railway and the Sussex Archaeological Society
Securing £1.3m for Crowborough's Beacon Academy

See below all the success stories and media coverage.
