Candidates have been announced for the election on 4 May. The only contested election, as usual, will be in Winchelsea ward. We, the incumbent councillors --- Ben Chishick, Richard Comotto, Mike Terry --- will be standing against Steve and Peter Turner.
The main issues will be the proposal for a separate parish of Winchelsea (we in favour; the Turners against) and Council Tax (we against the increases; the Turners probably unwilling to oppose).
In Icklesham, Rye Harbour and Winchelsea Beach wards, there will yet again be no contested elections. Indeed, Icklesham and Winchelsea Beach cannot find enough candidates, so councillors will have to be co-opted. Rye Harbour cannot find any residents at all to stand for election, so they will continue to be represented by residents of Rye Town and Winchelsea Beach. Not a great advert for loca democracy.
