Polling released this week from JL Partners for the Telegraph shows the Liberal Democrats to be neck and neck for control of East Sussex County Council with support for the Green Party, Conservatives and Labour falling.

James MacCleary MP for Lewes, (pictured), said: “I hear day in and day out that people are fed up with the Conservatives' failure at East Sussex County Council and want change. Driving and walking around my constituency recently has been like traversing on the surface of the moon, dodging crater sized potholes. Only the Liberal Democrats can defeat the Conservatives and keep Reform out of County Hall.”
