Lorraine is your hard-working district councillor in Lindfield Rural High Weald, and West Sussex County councillor for East Grinstead Meridian Division.

I am honoured to have been elected to represent the division of East Grinstead Meridian at WSCC.

As an elected District Councillor for Mid-Sussex, I know and understand the issues and concerns you have, from Potholes, to too much development and waste collections.

As an elected County Councillor, I pledge to work tirelessly both for and with residents to improve those matters that will bring a lasting benefit to you, the residents of East Grinstead Meridian.

I am privileged to be the appointed Armed Forces Champion for Mid Sussex and have been instrumental in establishing a Breakfast Club for Veterans in both East Grinstead and Burgess Hill.

I also represent Mid-Sussex District Council on the High Weald AONB and will be looking to ensure those areas that lie within the boundary of the High Weald National Landscape are protected and remain accessible for all to enjoy.

Finally, I would like to pay tribute to Cllr John Dabell whose hard work within the community over many years I intend to continue. I care about our road safety, schools, young people, elderly residents, the environment, our libraries and leisure facilities.
