Victoria Carson lives in Bexhill South and is not a career councillor. She spent three decades building a career in film and television production finance — ending up as a financial controller responsible for supervising production accountants through government audits on multi-million pound projects. She understands exactly how public money should be managed. And she can see that East Sussex County Council has not been managing it well.
As a member of the Rother Forum — which brings residents together directly with the police, local GPs, and charities — Victoria knows what Bexhill residents are dealing with: social care waiting lists that are too long, a seafront and town centre that deserve better investment, parking that is damaging local trade, and a county council that has borrowed £211 million and still cannot fix the roads.
Victoria is standing because the De La Warr Pavilion, the seafront, and Bexhill’s identity as a destination worth visiting deserve a county councillor who will fight for them — and because residents who need care deserve a council that has the financial discipline to fund it properly. A member of the Production Guild of Great Britain, Victoria is a quilt-maker, enthusiastic cook of world cuisine, and a reluctant golfer.
On 7th May, Victoria is ready to put three decades of financial expertise to work for Bexhill South.
