DIARY OF A MAYOR (May - September 2011)
Since Cllr Stuart Wood became Mayor of Bexhill in May he has undertaken over a hundred engagements in the community.

In September Battle's County Councillor Kathryn Field was one of a small number of Liberal Democrat Activists from the South East Region invited to meet Nick Clegg to discuss aspects of policy. This was a wonderful opportunity to talk to the Deputy Prime Minister in a small business meeting.
Of particular concern was the plight of the young and rising rates of unemployment among that sector. Nick explained that rates of youth unemployment have been rising since 2004. These were the good times so the clear implication is that there is something structurally wrong with the labour market. We need to expand apprenticeship schemes and accept that a good education is essential, and not necessarily a university education. We must broaden the range of vocational options.

In his keynote speech to the Liberal Democrat Conference, Party Leader and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has outlined his goals for the Government and the country over the coming years. He reiterated his commitment to liberal values on the environment and human rights and his determination to ensure a fair chance for every child, saying "every child can do good things, great things, if only we give them the opportunities they deserve."

Cllr Stuart Wood, recently re-elected along with his colleague, Cllr Frances Winterborn, to represent Bexhill Old Town Ward on Rother District Council is Bexhill's new mayor.
This is the first time ever that Bexhill Charter Trustees have elected a Liberal Democrat to serve as Mayor.
Nominating Cllr Wood, Cllr Winterborn reminded those present, Councillors, and guests of his long record of service to the town, particularly with the Horticultural Society.


The Liberal Democrats have published their manifesto for the 2011 Rother District Council elections. Below are some of the key aims.
