Council Elections 2nd May 2019 Bruce Broughton- Tompkins Your Local Choice for Uckfield East Ward

Ensuring your voice is heard at Wealden District Council

YOUR LOCAL CHOICE I am proud to be standing for election in the newly-formed ward of Uckfield East, where I live. Fifteen years ago I was elected as a Wealden councillor for St John’s Ward in , where I lived; a post I held for almost four years until we moved away. I found being a councillor rewarding (assisting residents with their various issues), and I was a member of the Planning Committee. This was of particular interest to me having owned a construction company for over forty years. I could see the planning issues from both sides of the fence. During my time as a councillor I was heavily involved in the retention of free parking in Wealden, something which I am still proud of. I also represented the council on their leisure provider (Freedom Leisure’s) Board as well as working on many planning issues. I find practical issues most interesting, including environmental health and recycling. I am retired now and, together with Catherine my wife, we have three children and four grandchildren, and live just off the High Street. I am Secretary to the Uckfield Rotary Club and Regional Organiser for the Royal Photographic Society covering , Surrey and Kent. A lifelong Conservative, at local level I believe strongly that politics should not enter into the day-to-day issues of the town and district authorities.
