Welcome to this week’s blog - as always, thanks for having a read. Donna and I also want to thank all those residents who have greeted us, and the team, so warmly this week, as we continued campaigning for the Selsey Division of West Sussex County Council on Thursday May 7th, 2026.

All has been focusing on the vicinity of East Street and is quite a veteran campaigner now. Apparently her first campaign delivery experience led her to buy an external post box out of sympathy for our posties. I always get a bruise or two from heavier letter boxes whose inner flap is hard to budge but it is great exercise and we always get a warm reception. We have a refreshed respect for our posties, again!

Donna and I have gone wherever we are needed. As Independents, we have no big party machine to call upon, so we not only produce all our digital, and paper campaign materials, but also deliver them to residents as well. Donna’s national party opponents are better resourced and able to tap into a range of support we simply do not have access to. We are therefore under no illusion that we are, as usual, ‘David’ facing several Goliaths.
