Leaving the EU will harm Eastbourne
We’re a group of local creative professionals who voted to Remain in the EU. We all live in and around Eastbourne, and many of us have started companies here.

They’re choosing other countries over the UK. Leaving the EU leaves us worse off. We’re poorer culturally and financially.

Please tell your families, friends and colleagues about a People’s Vote. Please lobby our MP Stephen Lloyd and councillors. The time is right to vote on the deal.
