๐ข Setting the Record Straight ๐ข
Cllr Kathy Ballard and Cllr Tom Nevill have supported residents and businesses regarding the proposed tree removal as part of the Station Parade bus lane scheme.
From the outset, we have been working closely with local businesses and listening to residentsโ concerns throughout the consultation process. We have consistently made the case for protecting a healthy, mature tree while recognising the need for well-planned transport improvements.
We are disappointed by Reform controlled East Sussex County Councilโs decision to proceed with the proposal. We know how much this tree means to many people, and we share the sadness felt across our community.
Our commitment remains the same: to represent residents, work constructively with local businesses, and continue standing up for Upperton at every opportunity.
