  • Icklesham Parish Council
    Draft recommendations on the new electoral arrangements for Rother District Council Response from Icklesham Parish Council Tuesday 12th April 2016 Icklesham Parish Council considered the recommendations contained in the March 2016 New electoral arrangements for Rother District Council document and unanimously voted against the draft proposals. Icklesham Parish Council is made up of four wards containing 13 councillors (Icklesham ward 4 councillors, Winchelsea ward 3 councillors, Winchelsea Beach 4 councillors and Rye Harbour 2 councillors) and currently served by 2 district councillors. The proposed changes will see Icklesham served by 6 district councillors and the ward arrangements changed drastically. The proposal to increase the number of Parish Councillors for Icklesham ward to 6 will create an imbalance of councillors across the Parish. At the moment no one ward can hold sway. This proposal means that with a Chairman from Icklesham Ward and one absent member or a vacancy in the other three ward’s decisions would be made on the casting vote.There is no justification for increasing Icklesham’s representation by 50%. The alternative proposal in Table 1 provides a better balance although Winchelsea would have a slightly higher representation per councillor than the other wards. This would to some extent future proof things as Winchelsea could not be expected to see the same level of increase potentially available to the other wards as the majority of the land surrounding the town is owned by the National Trust and there is very little opportunity to provide additional housing. One of the two sites with development potential within the existing citadel area is owned by the Trust.

  • Rye Team Profile 2021 Part 1
    The Rye Team Ministry PROFILE for the appointment of a Team Rector to the Benefice The Rye Team includes six churches arranged in four parishes in a beautiful coastal and rural area at the eastern end of the Diocese of Chichester and the County of East Sussex. Centred on the small historic market, port and tourist town of Rye, the team area includes industrial, holiday and rural communities. It has a rail link to the high speed service from Ashford and a diverse commercial and cultural life but also some areas of deprivation. The Rye Team Ministry was established in 1980, comprising the incumbent of the benefice (ie of the Parishes of Rye, Rye Harbour, Playden, Iden, Camber and East Guldeford) whose office shall be Rector and two other Ministers. This arrangement has continued until recently, with one House-for-Duty serving Playden and Iden, and another serving Camber and East Guldeford, with lay reader and Permission to Officiate assistance. However, the three clergy posts are all now vacant and all the parishes would benefit from renewal and outreach. The Team Rector post offers the challenge and opportunity to work with the diocese and the parishes to recruit and lead a team to develop spiritual life in the parishes and increase the role of the church in the community as well as to personally look after ministry in Rye and Rye Harbour. There are opportunities to further ecumenical links and liaison with the two primary schools, secondary school and local hospital in the Team Ministry area. Around Rye Some images on this page © Shirley Lancaster The Rye Team Ministry As our search for a new Team Rector begins, we cannot avoid the enormity of the context in which that search is set.
