East Sussex County Council – Transport & Environment EAST SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL – TRANSPORT & ENVIRONMENT Progress to date on Implementation of Lower Speed Limits in Rother District The Review of Rural Speed Limits in East Sussex (covering A and B-class roads and villages with existing limits in excess of 30mph) was originally phased over a four year programme from 2008/09 to 2011/12. This programme was based on the County’s 18 rural electoral divisions ranked in the order of their numbers of Killed and Seriously Injured (KSI) road casualties, so that those divisions with the worst crash records have been treated first. Progress to date in Rother District is as follows: 2008/09 No electoral divisions in Rother 2009/10 Battle & Crowhurst A2100 Starrs Green and Telham – extended 40mph speed limit Netherfield – 30mph limit on B2096, 40mph on Netherfield Road B2204 Catsfield Stream – 40mph speed limit Whatlington – 40mph limit Northern Rother Cripp’s Corner – B2089 & B2165, 30mph limit in village Swaile’s Green – B2089, 40mph limit Staplecross – B2165, 30mph limit in village 2010/11 Northern Rother A28 Newenden Bridge to Northiam – 40mph speed limit B2244 Sedlescombe – 50mph limit north of village These two schemes were the only ones to have been completed in Rother in 2010/11 before the Government’s announcement of ‘in-year’ grant cuts resulted in the remaining speed limit programme across the whole county being put on hold. The County Council is committed to the completion of this speed limit review project, but the remaining schemes will need to be rescheduled to match the available resources. The situation is very uncertain at present but it is hoped it will become a little clearer after the Government has announced its autumn spending review and we have a better idea of the levels of funding likely to be available in future years. It is anticipated that the County Council will identify a revised programme in early 2011. The remaining speed limit schemes identified so far in Rother are as follows: Northern Rother (Originally scheduled for 2009/10) Beckley and Four Oaks, B2088 & A268 – discussions ongoing with Parish Council Ewhurst Green – proposed extension of 30mph limit on C20 west to Dagg Lane Brede Valley and Marsham (Originally scheduled for 2010/11) Broad Oak, Brede and Cackle Street, Brede – initial discussions on both have been held with Parish Council Battery Hill, Fairlight – identified for 40mph limit -continued 1 Rye and Eastern Rother (Originally scheduled for 2011/12) Iden – identified for 30mph limit Rother North West (Originally scheduled for 2011/12) B2099 Wallcrouch – identified for a 40mph speed limit A265 Burwash Weald & Common – in discussions with Sussex Police for possible 40 & 50mph limits Following completion of the current review of villages and A and B-class roads outlined above it is anticipated that we will move on to undertake a similar review of speed limits on the C-class and unclassified road network. However it is currently anticipated that this will not cover the entire lengths of these roads but will only examine those sections with a high crash risk or where there are particular local concerns.

  • World War One: the Deaths of Those Associated with Battle and District
    WORLD WAR ONE: THE DEATHS OF THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH BATTLE AND DISTRICT This article cannot be more than a simple series of statements, and sometimes speculations, about each member of the forces listed. The Society would very much appreciate having more information, including photographs, particularly from their families. CONTENTS Page Introduction 1 The western front 3 1914 3 1915 8 1916 15 1917 38 1918 59 Post-Armistice 82 Gallipoli and Greece 83 Mesopotamia and the Middle East 85 India 88 Africa 88 At sea 89 In the air 94 Home or unknown theatre 95 Unknown as to identity and place 100 Sources and methodology 101 Appendix: numbers by month and theatre 102 Index 104 INTRODUCTION This article gives as much relevant information as can be found on each man (and one woman) who died in service in the First World War. To go into detail on the various campaigns that led to the deaths would extend an article into a history of the war, and this is avoided here. Here we attempt to identify and to locate the 407 people who died, who are known to have been associated in some way with Battle and its nearby parishes: Ashburnham, Bodiam, Brede, Brightling, Catsfield, Dallington, Ewhurst, Mountfield, Netherfield, Ninfield, Penhurst, Robertsbridge and Salehurst, Sedlescombe, Westfield and Whatlington. Those who died are listed by date of death within each theatre of war. Due note should be taken of the dates of death particularly in the last ten days of March 1918, where several are notional. Home dates may be based on registration data, which means that the year in 1 question may be earlier than that given.

    Ellenwhorne Equestrian Centre Stocklands Farm | East Sussex | TN32 5RT Seller Insight When we first saw Ellenwhorne we knew it was the perfect space to have a beautiful house and run an equestrian centre,” says Diane. “We have been at the property for 10 years now and since then we have completely re-done the house. It now comprises of five bedrooms and three reception rooms, lawned gardens and grounds, an orchard and a garage,” “We have done everything from adding slate flooring, a new kitchen, new bathroom as well as an outdoor arena and the equestrian centre with indoor school and stables. It is now the perfect house and equestrian centre, with so much character.” “Another aspect that first attracted us to the property was the outstanding natural beauty of the location on the East Sussex/Kent border. There are such glorious and breathtaking views all around. The house is set in a lovely spot and it is so calm and peaceful here,Everyone that visits always comments on this aspect”. Although Ellenwhorne Equestrian Centre is situated in a rural location it is also very accessible. It is situated between the pretty village of Staplecross which has many pubs and schools and the village of Broad Oak which has a good local shop and Post Office. Just a short distance away is the nearby village of Robertsbridge with a thriving local community, many shops, a doctor’s surgery, dentist and a vet,”. Transport links are also easily accessible. “The A21 is within easy reach giving access to the historic towns of Battle, Hastings and the south coast and northerly to the M25 and the main motorway network.

  • 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.

  • Public Spaces Protection Order (No1a)
    Rother District Council Report to: Cabinet Date: 5 October 2020 Title: Public Spaces Protection Order (No1A) Report of: Richard Parker-Harding, Head of Service Environmental Services, Licensing and Community Safety Cabinet Member: Councillor Field Ward(s): All Purpose of Report: To recommend the making of a Public Spaces Protection Order to control dogs Decision Type: Key Officer Recommendation(s): It be RESOLVED: That following consultation with the East Sussex County Council, Police, Police and Crime Commissioner a Public Spaces Protection Order be made. Introduction 1. In 2016, the Council approved making a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) (No 1) to control dogs (Minute CB16/14 refers). This Order expires in January 2021. In June Cabinet authorised consultation with Town and Parish Councils (Minute CB20/09 refers). Two Parish Councils requested the Order be amended and public consultation on these amendments has been undertaken. 2. The current Order was first adopted in June 2008 (Minute CB08/13 refers) following extensive consultation with Parish and Town Councils and the public. Several iterations to the Order were considered prior to adoption, whereby it was felt a reasonable compromise had been achieved between the requirements of the public and the needs of dog owners. Iden Parish Council and Ewhurst Parish Council have proposed amendments. The Order with the proposed amendments is set out at Appendix A. Background to PSPOs can be found at Appendix C. Options 3. To approve the making of an amended Order, considering the proposals of the Parish Councils and the two objections to the amendments from Iden residents. Alternatively, to renew the existing Order for a further 3 years without any amendment.

  • 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.

    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.
