Having been elected in 2019, Zoe Nicholson has been both Deputy Leader and Leader of the District Council. In her four years of co-running the District Council, Zoe is proud of many achievements, including:
- Being on track to build 200 council homes: including the first new council homes in Lewes for 25 years at Saxonbury House in Southover
- Putting the response to the Covid crisis and then the cost of living crisis, at the heart of our work as a council: we set up a £500k safety net fund so that no-one on the lowest incomes now pays council tax, and gave £250k to voluntary groups
- Investing in playgrounds and green spaces: we’ve revamping and improving Bell Lane, Malling, Landport playgrounds
