Hailsham's Lib Dem-run town council is letting residents down and NOT WORKING, say Conservatives.
They point to the Town Council Tax being almost as large as Wealden District’s; up nearly 50% in recent years; up 23% this year ALONE.
There is a spiralling Town Council head count – 67% of budget spent on staffing, limiting what can be spent elsewhere.
Hailsham Town Council’s post office still a burden on local taxpayers after five years, with annual subsidy of up to £60,000, and no adequate recovery plan in sight
Vicarage Field Changing Places facilities cost nearly DOUBLE the estimate.
Estimated £800,000 costs purchasing and renovating redundant church for the Youth Service - a big proportion of the Town’s community infrastructure funds - with concerns about ongoing costs.
