    Grass Cutting Schedule – 2021 Last updated 16/04/21 This schedule shows current scheduled dates for grass cutting. Please note that these dates can change due to weather and will be updated on a weekly basis. Some towns and parishes have opted to self-deliver their grass cutting programme for 2021, as indicated below. If you require information for those towns and parishes who carry out their own grass cutting, then you would need to contact them directly. East Sussex Highways currently provide 2 standard grass cuts for each town and parish. Those that have 6 grass cuts have paid for this as an additional service.

  • Annex SCHEMES to BE PROGRESSED IF DEVELOPER FUNDING IS SECURED
    Annex SCHEMES TO BE PROGRESSED IF DEVELOPER FUNDING IS SECURED March 2009 Background This document is called “Schemes to be progressed if developer funding is secured” and is also known as the “Blue Book”. In line with latest national guidance (see below), County and District Councils have developed a structured approach to the identification of transport needs related to development proposals. This aims, in particular, to improve the link between meeting the needs of development and the aims of the Local Transport Plan. The County Council’s Works Programme and Forward Programme are produced annually to list the highways and transport schemes to be progressed with the funds available. This year, the Forward Programme has been extended to include schemes that have been identified, in liaison with the Local Planning Authorities, as meeting LTP objectives but that cannot be progressed within available funding. Developer contributions will be sought towards these schemes, where they are seen to meet the needs of development proposals. This extended Forward Programme has been subject to consultation and will be supported by District Councils and used to assist the development control process. The programme will be updated each year and it is intended to engage wider community interests in developing and updating the programme in future years. Planning Context Planning Policy Guidance Note 13 : Transport requires authorities to demonstrate a linkage between land use planning and transport policies and objectives. PPG13 recognises that: • Local Transport Plans have a central role in co-ordinating and improving local transport provision and should relate to measures which form part of the local approach to the integration of planning and transport.

  • A Brief History of the Egrets Way Project
    A Brief History of the Egrets Way Project The people who initiated the Egrets Way Project in 2011 were not the first group of local residents to join forces to identify a safe cycling route which would connect Newhaven, Lewes and the villages in between. In 2004, an earlier attempt by members of the POLO (Parishes of the Lower Ouse) group to create a ‘Greenway’ running alongside the C7 Lewes to Newhaven Road had foundered when no achievable route could be identified. However, in Autumn, 2011, three significant events occurred which encouraged members of those same communities to try again: • the Environment Agency announced its intention to maintain the flood defences of the river in the Lower Ouse valley, • the Government announced substantial funding for sustainable transport plans, and • the South Downs National Park (SDNP), created in 2010, came into operation. Following public meetings, held for the purpose of measuring support for the project, a constitution was adopted, a Steering Committee was created, officers were elected, and the project known as the Ouse Valley Cycle Network (OVCN) came into being. A great deal of work then began to identify a route, locate relevant landowners and meet with representatives of organisations with shared interests as well as engaging with the public through parish council meetings and attendance at local events. By the end of the year, the group had joined forces with a working party from the Kingston Road and Cranedown Residents Association and the Kingston Action Group which had long been exploring the possibility of creating an off-road cycleway connecting Kingston and Lewes.

This document describes our Penalty Fares Scheme for the purposes of rule 3.2 b. 1.2 We have decided to introduce a Penalty Fares Scheme because the previous operator of the railway passenger services comprised of the Thameslink Great Northern franchise, First Capital Connect and Southern Railways, operated a Penalty Fares Scheme in such franchise area and the experience has proved that it is an efficient means to deter ticketless travel. In addition, once some Southeastern routes and stations are integrated into the TSGN franchise from 14 December 2014 and once the entire current Southern franchise is integrated into the TSGN franchise on 26th July 2015, it is important that there is consistency across all franchise areas (as Southeastern and Southern both also operate a Penalty Fares Scheme); so as to avoid causing confusion for our passengers. This scheme will now include all stations under schemes previously operated by Govia Thameslink Railway Limited and Southern Railway Limited.
