I joined residents in Nutley alongside County Councillor Roy Galley for a Q&A event covering topics from planning issues, roads issues, the lack of mobile connectivity, as well as the treasure that is nearby Ashdown Forest during the event at the village hall. These events are vital, having boots on the ground and speak with residents face-to-face on what their concerns and priorities are for our lovely area. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and asked questions.
