  • Drainage and Wastewater Management Plan (DWMP) Rother
    Drainage and Wastewater Management Plan (DWMP) Rother Catchment 1 Drainage and Wastewater Management Plans River Rother Catchment - DRAFT Strategic Context The Environment Agency has previously defined the River Basin District catchments in their River Basin Management Plans prepared in response to the European Union’s Water Framework Directive. These river basin catchments are based on the natural configuration of bodies of water (rivers, estuaries, lakes etc.) within a geographical area, and relate to the natural watershed of the main rivers. We are using the same catchment boundaries for our Level 2 DWMPs. A map of the Rother river basin catchment is shown in figure 1. Figure 1: The Rother River Basin Catchment in East Sussex and Kent Based upon the Ordnance Survey map by Southern Water Services Ltd by permission of Ordnance Survey on behalf of the Controller of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office. Crown copyright Southern Water Services Limited 1000019426 2 Drainage and Wastewater Management Plans River Rother Catchment - DRAFT Overview of the River Rother Catchment The Rother catchment drains just over 982km2 of land in East Sussex and Kent, with the largest and longest river in the catchment being the River Rother. The catchment has a unique collection of river systems and man-made canals and includes the network of ditches, streams and sewers of the Romney Marsh and the 28 mile Royal Military Canal. The Rother rises near Rotherfield in Wealden district of East Sussex and flows for 35 miles through East Sussex and Kent to its mouth on Rye Bay on the English Channel. Along its course, it is joined by the Rivers Limden and Dudwell at Etchingham, the River Darwell to the north of Robertsbridge, and the Brede and Tillingham Rivers which join it at Rye before it discharges to the sea.

  • Of Place-Names in Sussex
    PREPARATORY TO A DICTIONARY OF SUSSEX PLACE-NAMES Richard Coates University of the West of England, Bristol © 2017 First tranche: place-names in A, E, I, O and U 1 Foreword It is now almost 90 years since the publication of Allen Mawer and Frank Stenton’s standard county survey The place-names of Sussex (English Place-Name Society [EPNS] vols 6-7, Cambridge University Press, 1929-30). While I was living and working in Sussex, before 2006, it had long been my intention to produce an updated but scaled- down of this major work to serve as one of the EPNS’s “Popular” series of county dictionaries. Many things have intervened to delay the fulfilment of this aspiration, but it struck me that I could advance the project a little, put a few new ideas into the public domain, and possibly apply a spur to myself, by publishing from time to time an online “fascicle” consisting of analyses of selected major or important names beginning with a particular letter. Here are the first five, dealing with the letters A, E, I, O and U. Readers are invited to send any comments, including suggestions for inclusion or improvement, to me at [email protected]. With that end in mind, the present work consists of an index in electronic form of the names covered by Mawer and Stenton, kindly supplied many years ago, before I was acquainted with the joys of scanning, by Dr Paul Cavill. For some of these names, those which Percy Reaney called “names of primary historical or etymological interest” (interpreted subjectively), I have constructed a dictionary entry consisting of evidence and commentary in the usual way, plus a National Grid reference and a reference to the relevant page-number in Mawer and Stenton (e.g.

  • Playden DC Report November 2018 1. Police and Crime 1.1 Operation
    Playden DC Report November 2018 1. Police and Crime 1.1 Operation Rogue Trader ran from 8th until 12th October. This was a national week of action aiming to stop unscrupulous business practices and raise awareness on the dangers linked to hiring cold-callers. Operation Rogue Trader began specifically to target doorstep crimes, especially distraction burglaries and rogue trader offences. As rogue trading practices diversified, Operation Rogue Trader grew to allow participating authorities to proactively target criminal behaviour, and raise awareness amongst the most vulnerable groups. Operation Rogue Trader is a national multi-agency campaign coordinated by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) with Liberal, the Police National Intelligence Unit. Last year’s campaign involved over 1,400 personnel, 1806 were stopped and searched, 87 arrests with 871 offences and over £40,000 in property seized. If you suspect someone of being a rogue trader, or find yourself accosted by uninvited doorstep sellers, contact the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 03454 040506 or contact police on 999 or 101. 1.2 Operation Magpie, the autumn burglary prevention and awareness campaign, is being run by Sussex Police from 29th October until 4th November. Sussex Police reports that there were 644 burglaries across the force in September 2017 falling to 518 in September 2018. The autumn campaign aims to maintain this decrease, as well as raising awareness about how you can protect your own home. During this week there will be prevention advice to specific communities as well as social media posts, in an effort to prevent burglaries from happening in the first place “Leave a light on!” 1.3 You can be kept up to date by joining Sussex Police’s Community Message service, In the Know which will keep you up to date on the latest news in your police district.
