Mims Davies MP joined by Kemi Badenoch in East Grinstead
Mims was thrilled to welcome the boss - Kemi - to the constituency of East Grinstead, Uckfield, and the villages to meet local hard-working businesses.
The topic of the water outages absolutely came up in conversations and the real impact this has had on the businesses in the constituency who believe they haven't had adequate compensation.
Following discussions with the East Grinstead Businesses Association, and businesses themselves throughout a number of weeks, Mims officially launched her Parliamentary petition found below:

Mims Davies MP said:
What an afternoon on the High Street in East Grinstead with Kemi chatting to the backbone of our economy - our amazing family businesses, new traders, people holding on and trying to grow.
Supporting hospitality, hearing what they need which includes less red tape, scrapping of the Labour NI hike, and (un)employment rights act, cheaper energy prices, and the back of more extortionate local parking charges, especially Sundays and Bank Holidays from the Lib Dem led council.
We will scrap businesses rates for most high street businesses, get rid of stamp duty, and back local people in East Grinstead, Uckfield and our villages and beyond to get on with their lives and be able to thrive at work.
Our businesses need to have the opportunity to take on young people, offer more hours, and grow.
We are under new leadership with Kemi who speaks the truth and is rightly renewing our party - we Conservatives are back in business.
