Claire Potter Liberal Democrat "I work as an assistant editor on two trade journals based in Shoreham. It's a responsible position. I maintain high standards of accuracy in print, and represent the company in the industry. I believe under 25s are severely under-represented. The result is a dearth of facilities for this growing section of Worthing's population." |
