This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. Introduction I am pleased to introduce our summary of the Ouse Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the Ouse catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The Ouse CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England and The main source of flood risk in the Ouse CFMP area is Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed inland from both localised river flooding, which is made worse flood risk across all of England and Wales for the first by the influence of the tide, and some surface water time. The CFMP considers all types of inland flooding, flooding. The risk is mainly located in Lewes, Newhaven from rivers, groundwater, surface water and tidal and Uckfield.

    The Sussex RARE PLANT REGISTER of Scarce & Threatened Vascular Plants, Charophytes, Bryophytes and Lichens NB - Dummy Front Page The Sussex Rare Plant Register of Scarce & Threatened Vascular Plants, Charophytes, Bryophytes and Lichens Editor: Mary Briggs Record editors: Paul Harmes and Alan Knapp May 2001 Authors of species accounts Vascular plants: Frances Abraham (40), Mary Briggs (70), Beryl Clough (35), Pat Donovan (10), Paul Harmes (40), Arthur Hoare (10), Alan Knapp (65), David Lang (20), Trevor Lording (5), Rachel Nicholson (1), Tony Spiers (10), Nick Sturt (35), Rod Stern (25), Dennis Vinall (5) and Belinda Wheeler (1). Charophytes: (Stoneworts): Frances Abraham. Bryophytes: (Mosses and Liverworts): Rod Stern. Lichens: Simon Davey. Acknowledgements Seldom is it possible to produce a publication such as this without the input of a team of volunteers, backed by organisations sympathetic to the subject-matter, and this report is no exception. The records which form the basis for this work were made by the dedicated fieldwork of the members of the Sussex Botanical Recording Society (SBRS), The Botanical Society of the British Isles (BSBI), the British Bryological Society (BBS), The British Lichen Society (BLS) and other keen enthusiasts. This data is held by the nominated County Recorders. The Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre (SxBRC) compiled the tables of the Sussex rare Bryophytes and Lichens. It is important to note that the many contributors to the text gave their time freely and with generosity to ensure this work was completed within a tight timescale. Many of the contributions were typed by Rita Hemsley. Special thanks must go to Alan Knapp for compiling and formatting all the computerised text.

  • Members of Parliament
    MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT The first Parliaments of England, and subsequently of the House of Commons of England, of Great Britain and then of the United Kingdom, were composed of two members from each constituency. Indeed, a small number of these two-member seats survived until the 1950 general election, which was the first that returned members for only single-member seats. Before the Reform Act of 1832 the electorates were not only small but among the boroughs they varied in composition. Unlike some small towns of the same size or even smaller, Battle never had an MP of its own under the old régime. Only the counties, and boroughs in possession of a royal charter, could boast such a privilege. Until the reform of 1832 the county of Sussex elected two MPs, as did each of the boroughs of Arundel, Bramber, Chichester, East Grinstead, Hastings, Horsham, Lewes, Midhurst, New Shoreham, Rye, Seaford, Steyning and Winchelsea. As to the non-borough county, in fact it was inconvenient to have a single constituency, given the difficulty of journeying from many parts of the county to the county town of Chichester, and an informal agreement had been reached, rarely broken, that one member would come from the east and one from the west. It was not until 1832 that the non-borough county was divided for electoral purposes into the two areas that in 1888 became the two administrative counties (the eastern half being rather larger than it is now, further changes having been made in 1974). In 1832 East Grinstead, Seaford and Winchelsea lost their independent borough status and for electoral purposes were included in the ‘Eastern Sussex’ constituency.
