WHY SUSSEX FIRST WAS STARTED
A HISTORIC FIRST FOR SUSSEX
We believe local politics works best when people come together to improve the places they call home.
Sussex First brings independent local people together to put residents first and turn shared priorities into practical action.
This page shares the movement’s origins, core values, and the momentum building across Sussex.
Momentum
Local support is already visible across every council tier in Sussex.
We already have serving Councillors onboard at Sussex First with decades of experience helping local residents.

Three principles behind Sussex First
A focused view of our campaign purpose
INFRASTRUCTURE FIRST
Infrastructure for Thriving Communities
New homes need properly funded roads, schools, waste systems and safe water. We will press for that infrastructure to be funded before development is approved.
RESIDENT-LED
A Real Voice for Residents
Residents and parish councils deserve a meaningful say in decisions that shape their communities. We want local knowledge and local needs to guide those decisions.
Sussex. Independent. Community-first.
Working together for the Sussex we want to see.
Sussex First brings independent judgement and year-round attention to practical local priorities. We will share our work here and on social media so residents can follow progress.
- Independent decisions shaped by local people.
- Infrastructure first, before more development is approved.
- Year-round work on flooding, roads and local services.
