Support Battle’s car park takeover

Battle Town Council (BTC) should be supported in its attempt to gain control over car parking in the town and we hope that the government’s much vaunted Localism bill can help by living up to its claim to shift power to local communities.
Maybe our MP, instead of campaigning to save himself, should help BTC realise the aspirations of the Localism bill, to ensure Battle has control of the town’s parking?
