Evening all, I'm here in #Eastbourne for the #GeneralElection2024 results. A fair while to go yet, but keep an eye out for updates My #LDreporter colleagues are:
@ThomasHanway2 - #Worthing & #Shoreham
@Karen_Dunn - #Crawley
@BHDemocracyNews
- #Brighton

[Huw Oxburgh @hoxburgh]

Still a long way to go. Early indications are for the #Eastbourne results to come in between 3am and 5am. Should have a better idea in a couple of hours. #GeneralElection2024

[Huw Oxburgh @hoxburgh]

We're definitely getting close now. I may regret tempting fate, but we should have the results for #Eastbounre within the next half hour or so. #GeneralElection2024

An East Sussex primary school looks set to close due to falling pupil numbers via @hoxburgh https://t.co/j7ZoKW53In

@WeedingTech Sure thing, can you send an email to the address in my bio to arrange a time.

[Sally-Ann Hart @SallyAnn1066]

Considering the further revelations that have come to light, and given that the integrity of Parliament must be upheld, on behalf of my constituents of Hastings and Rye I am no longer able to support Boris Johnson as Leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister.

More than a third of a neighbourhood police team's resource last year was allocated to a single address in Hastings, a court is hearing.

Sussex Police is hearing an application for a closure order on the one bedroom flat, which has become a venue for drug dealing and violence
