Housing and planning is an important issue in the Bexhill and Battle constituency. I know that many local people have concerns, whether it be due to the type of development proposed in their area, or worries about the lack of affordable housing, particularly for young people.
Last October, I received the good news that Bexhill has been chosen as one of 55 towns which will benefit from a £20 million 10-year endowment-style fund called the Long-Term Plan for Towns.
