Councillor Bridget Fishleigh has recently confirmed to residents in Roedean and the Brighton Marina that, due to boundary changes, she will be standing in the newly created ward of Rottingdean (Ovingdean) and Saltdean, where she lives, rather than the ward of the ward of the Marina and Whitehawk which includes Roedean.

I, like most residents I have spoken to, am devastated to be losing her.

We have never had such productive and pro-active councillor before and whomever replaces her has a high bar to maintain.

I wanted to put my thanks to her on record and wish her all the best for the future.
