Reform Councillor, East Sussex County Council, Brede Valley And Marsham Division
Dan is not a career politician. His career was spent managing complex financial decisions for major organisations – skills he now brings to the fight for fair funding for rural communities. an understands how budgets work and what poor financial management costs communities. He knows the fair funding argument by the numbers: rural East Sussex receives a fraction of county council spending per head compared to urban areas, and that imbalance has been allowed to grow for fourteen years.
He joined Reform UK because he believes rural communities like those in the Brede Valley and Marsham division deserve a councillor who will fight for their fair share, not manage their decline. That means proper road maintenance, investment in flood drainage, and a county council that treats farming and village communities as a priority, not an afterthought.
Dan supports local farmers, pubs, and small businesses because they are the backbone of this community — and because after 35 years living in East Sussex, he has seen what happens when a county council stops paying attention to the communities that keep the countryside alive.
