Nigel Sweet said: “I’ve lived and worked in the Adur area for most of my working life, and seen many local changes. Lancing remains a good place to live despite years of neglect by successive Conservative governments and our local councils. Local potential will only be realised with a Labour council acting on local people’s priorities.”
For 13 years a medic on 999 NHS ambulances Nigel has also worked as a design engineer in local industrial electronic firms, and ran a local wholefood retail business.
Nigel was an Adur district councillor from May 1996 to May 2000, deputy Labour group leader and deputy Leader of Adur District Council from May 1999 to May 2000 when Labour formed a minority administration. He was chair of the Adur Housing Committee in that administration.
