Nancy Platts
Leader of the council and Councillor for East Brighton
‘I was elected in February 2018 and decided to do things differently. I hold a roving surgery every Friday to discuss residents’ ideas for new projects and listen to their concerns. This has helped local mums plan a new playground and secured a new night bus service and lower fares for Whitehawk. I do estate and street walkabouts with residents so we can spot where repairs are needed and get fly tipping cleaned up. On a Saturday morning you can find me in East Brighton Park, volunteering at parkrun which I set up with the local community.’
