The Labour councillors have announced today that they will be withdrawing from Wealden's Alliance.

This will mean a change to Cabinet, with Councillor Daniel Manvell stepping down from his role. A Cabinet re-shuffle will follow and changes will be announced when these take place.

The Alliance will still retain majority control, so we are not expecting any further changes due to this.

We're proud to support Clued Up through the Wealden Community Grants Programme, helping them to provide information, advice and support to young people across the Crowborough area.

This year, nearly 900 young people accessed support through the centre. One young person said:

"I like coming here because I can't talk to my parents about certain things."

The service offers a safe space where young people can access practical help, wellbeing support and trusted advice on issues affecting their lives.
