 BHU Enter Candidates Into The West Sussex County Council Elections
4th April 2017
by Peter Chapman
It's going to be the most intriguing election in decades as Burgess Hill Uncovered have entered two candidates in the West Sussex County Council Elections taking place on Thursday May 4th.
BHU have had to take this action after the disastrous district council elections which has seen the town without a single opposing voice after the Conservative party won all 52 seats. We can't have this repeated at West Sussex County Council at a time when Burgess Hill is facing a huge transformation.
The other political parties keep splitting the vote, so we need to give the people of Burgess Hill a palatable non-political option at the ballot box that everyone can get behind. Your votes this May really will matter!
In Burgess Hill North, your reporter Peter Chapman (aka Mr BHU) is looking to win the seat from controversial triple-hatted councillor Andrew Barrett-Miles.
In Burgess Hill East, long time BHU contributor Scott McCarthy will be challenging yet another trippled-hatted councillor in the form of Anne Jones.
