Experienced councillor Isabelle Linington is your LOCAL choice for Chailey division which includes Barcombe, Hamsey, Newick and Wivelsfield as well as parts of East Chiltington.

I have lived in Barcombe for 27 years and previously in Lewes for 11 years. I am a biologist with legal training and worked in research and scientific administration. I now run my own business as a travel agent for wildlife holidays to India and other Asian countries.

I was elected a district councillor in 2015 and was the Cabinet member for Environmental Impact from 2017-2019. I worked hard to protect our environment and introduced schemes to improve air quality, prevent flooding, reduce fly-tipping and litter, reduce the use of single-use plastics and encourage sustainable development.

I was elected again for the 2019-2023 term and served as the Conservative Group Leader in opposition as well as specialising in environmental, licensing and planning issues. I fought hard against unsuitable planning applications in our villages.

I would like to serve as your  East Sussex County Councillor so that I can stand up for you on the issues that matter to us – such as potholes, road safety and maintenance, highways and flooding issues related to planning applications, water pollution and encouraging small businesses.

Please give me your vote on 7th May and do contact me with any questions."

I will always fight to protect our precious green spaces and our wildlife for future generations.

I will oppose overdevelopment and campaign for cleaner rivers and bathing waters, protecting and enhancing biodiversity and truly sustainable development.

Conservatives promise to stand-up for the East Sussex countryside and fight to protect our villages from urbanisation.

I will campaign to ensure more vigorous assessments are undertaken, not just desk studies without site visits, to enable more informed decisions to be made and prevent the repeating of existing issues at some current developments.

I will always support residents in opposing unsuitable developments in our villages.
