THE Little Commoners group has organised a special Veterans Dinner to commemorate the forthcoming 80th anniversary of D-Day.
The celebration, in the form of a fish and chips supper, will be free for all former and current serving members of the Armed Forces.
The Little Commoners will be working in tandem with the Wheatsheaf Inn which will be providing the supper and period time entertainment.
Councillor Winter, the chairman of the Little Commoners, said: “I am so proud to be part of this amazing team.
“We are all delighted to be providing this wonderful event for all of those who fought and fight for our country.
“We are pleased to be working alongside the Wheatsheaf and the Little Commoners will be subsidising the meals so they are free to all who attend.”
It will be taking place on June 6 and will run from 6pm until 10pm. All of those interested in attending should email thelittlecommoners@gmail.com early to reserve their booking.
Councillor Winter became one of the youngest councillors in England back in 2021 when he was elected to Bexhill Town Council at the age of 18 back in 2021.
At the time he was the second youngest councillor in the country and the youngest to be elected in the South East of England.
He was elected as an independent local councillor for the St Mark’s Ward, covering Little Common, Cooden and Norman’s Bay.
Having been elected for the first time Councillor Winter said: “I was born and bred in Bexhill and I love the town.
“I have been keen to represent my local community for a long time and was inspired to stand for election and serve by a friend and much-respected former councillor who sadly passed away a few years ago.
“I want to get things done for the residents of St Mark’s and for Bexhill more widely. I want to encourage businesses back to the area and rejuvenate the local environment.
“I enjoy working with a variety of local people and listening to and helping residents with any concerns they may have.
“Young people are under-represented in local democracy and it can be hard being a young person in politics.
“Older people may think they know better than you and assume you have not had enough life experience to do the job. But I aim to bring a fresh and important perspective to the role.
“The best councils are those which are truly representative of their local communities. I encourage young people to stand up and be counted and have their say on how their communities are managed. We have a lot of ideas and energy to bring to the table.”
