Reform UK standing county council candidates in Mid Sussex

West Sussex local elections are being held on Thursday May 6

It was founded as the Brexit Party and then changed its name earlier this year.

Reform UK candidates standing next month are: Terence Gibbs (Burgess Hill East), Richard Rap (Cuckfield and Lucastes), Dave Macquire (East Grinstead South and Ashurst Wood) and Dominic Moorhouse (Worth Forest).

A full list of candidates can be viewed here.

Meanwhile this is what the representatives of the main political parties had to say.

Mr Rap said: “Along with many other people, I have become increasingly disillusioned with the main stream political parties and so I decided to take action to instigate change.

“I feel passionately compelled to stand as a County Councillor for the Reform Party to bring about a more common-sense approach to local politics.

I feel strongly that local councillors should do everything in their power in help the shops survive in the high street and in particular by reducing business rates for them.”
