Nigel Jenner lives in Buckingham ward and recently retired after a career in education and youth work.

He said: “I worked for over 30 years within East Sussex and Brighton and Hove Council Before leaving the local authority in 2009. I worked for Brighton and Hove Albion, Lewes Football Club, Brighton Youth Centre and Abandofbrothers, a mentoring project for young men. For the last six years I worked for Sussex Pathways at HMP Lewes mentoring people both before and after release to the local community.

“I moved to Shoreham just over three years ago and the time now feels right to stand and to represent the residents in our ward. As a ward councillor I will be actively linking with fellow residents, representing your views and responding to your issues.

“As well as the experience I bring of working with people from all walks of life, I am a parent and grand parent.

“Like so many local people I am concerned about the current problems with education and facilities available to young people. I want to see a coherent plan to address climate change locally and the development of suitable accommodation for local residents which is genuinely affordable and appropriate to local demand.

“I will be a councillor who genuinely represents their ward; contactable and known.”
