Nusrat Ghani MP is calling for action on the future of a key community site.

The MP for Sussex Weald is urging the new government to return the Crowborough cadet camp to its intended use, raising concerns that the site is not serving its intended purpose as a facility for cadet and blue light services.

Ms Ghani said: "I have reached out to the new Secretary of State asking him to meet me with me and to discuss the use of the cadet camp at Crowborough."

She has written to Wes Streeting, the new Secretary of State, and made her letter public to ensure transparency around her ongoing campaign.

Ms Ghani said: "It is disappointing that the government is ignoring correspondence on the issue and seemingly has no plan to return the training camp to its intended use.

"All of this is overshadowed by the government’s decision to take control of the cadet camp and remove it as a local community resource."

The MP continues to receive regular enquiries from residents and groups who feel the loss of the site is unjust and believe their concerns are being dismissed.

She described the situation as deeply unfair and criticised the lack of a clear plan to restore the camp.
