Events Programme September to October 2015 Events Programme September to October 2015 Celebrating Older People’s Day Introduction Welcome to the Events Programme for Older People’s Day Introduction by Kate Davies, Chair of East Sussex Seniors’ Association (ESSA) This is the th year of running a programme of events to mark and celebrate Older People’s Day in East Sussex – and each year it gets bigger and better!

We also have information and health fairs, history talks, lots of walks, cooking demos, singing, dancing, films and much more. Most events are FREE to attend, and often include complimentary refreshments. There are FREE taster sessions and open days – and many of the county’s leisure centres are running a special offer of just £ on some of their sessions. See the middle section for details. All the events you can go along to on your own, take a friend or, if you belong to a club or group, come together, but do check about booking ahead. If you need help with transport, contact your local community transport group – details opposite, on page . Although this booklet lists events taking place in September and October, many of the organisations featured in these pages hold regular activities and events all year round. So if you see something that interests you, but you can’t make that date, then please do use the ‘Contact’ information to call the organisation and find out about any other activities it may be organising. We are always looking to see how we can improve the programme, so if you go to an event that has feedback forms, please do consider filling one in. We really value hearing about what you liked and any ideas for future activities. Enjoy! Note: Information in this booklet was correct at time of going to press.

  • East Sussex County Council Local Transport Plan Rail Development
    East Sussex County Council Local Transport Plan Rail Development Strategy Why do we need a rail strategy? The current Local Transport Plan contains an outline strategy which focusses on the rail network as a local transport system for East Sussex, together with some specific investment targets for the network. However the last free-standing rail strategy for East Sussex was produced in 1990, and it has not been reviewed substantially since then. Important changes in transport policy have taken place in that period, including the far-reaching privatisation of the rail industry. In the context of the continuing uncertainties surrounding the industry, and the Government’s commitment to invest £30bn in rail by 2011, it is now appropriate to develop a new, free-standing rail strategy. Background Two indicators of economic difficulties in East Sussex are insufficient job opportunities for local residents in the coastal areas and an over-reliance on the service sector as a wealth generator. The new rail strategy is aimed at addressing these through improved links to areas where there is a surplus of job opportunities, and, as part of a robust freight strategy for the area, exploring opportunities for freight on rail with the local business community. A key element of the strategy is aimed stimulating the economy of the East Sussex Rural Priority Area through improvements to the Hastings-Rye-Ashford line. The road network in East Sussex is under stress, particularly in the coastal strip where peak spreading is occurring, with important sections of the coastal road network operating at or near design capacity.
