Review of Local Speed Limits in the Rural Area Appendix 1 PROGRESS REPORT No 1 :- REVIEW OF LOCAL SPEED LIMITS IN RURAL EAST SUSSEX BACKGROUND The revised policy summary for setting local speed limits was approved by the Lead Member for T & E on 25 June 2007. The principal changes relate to the new definition for a village and a Speed Assessment Framework for setting speed limits on rural A and B class roads. The government has set a target that all A and B roads be reviewed by 2011 and any changes implemented by that date. PROGRESS TO DATE 1. REVIEW OF SETTLEMENTS (EXCLUDING VILLAGES WITH A 30MPH SPEED LIMIT OR LOWER) 266 settlements were identified for review and placed in priority order for assessment, based on their latest 3 year casualty record. The casualty record (2004 to 2006 inclusive) showed that 149 settlements had recorded at least one crash in the 3 year period whilst the remainder (117 settlements) had recorded none. ( See Appendix A to this note) All the settlements with a crash record have been assessed against the new definition for a village and those meeting it have had speed measurements taken in order to determine what action is required to support a speed limit of 30mph. { To take the programme forward it was agreed with the Lead Member for T & E that it made good sense to combine the village review with the A and B road review and carry out all the work in one area at the same time. To facilitate this proposed method of working it was agreed to base the work on electoral divisions and those with the highest number of KSIs be treated first. East Sussex has 18 rural electoral divisions and these are shown in Appendix 2, ranked by KSIs but excluding those on trunk roads. The only slight issue with this method of working is that settlements with no crashes but meeting the new definition for a village would also have to be included. To date only those settlements within the top 5 electoral divisions have been assessed against the new guidance, but in fact very view met the new definition for a village so the programme of work remained virtually unchanged. ) 2. REVIEW OF ‘A’ AND ‘B’ ROADS . As the review of rural A and B Roads required some consistency with West Sussex County Council, a number of meetings have been held at officer level in order to agree a common approach. To facilitate this work, data for the A272 ( common to both counties ) plus the A26 were analysed in detail and ultimately broad agreement reached on a method for assessment based on accident (crash) rate and severity rate (percentage of killed and seriously injured compared with the total number of casualties). The end result from the process is that high risk lengths of highway are identified and noted for future discussion with Sussex Police. As the A26 and A272 have now been studied, it makes sense to implement the work identified ASAP, therefore all the agreed changes to these routes will be carried out in the current financial year ( 07/08) (See Appendix 5). It will be seen that the programme also includes some villages which were either on the routes or being dealt with from previous work on speed limits. In order to facilitate the proposed method of working described earlier, all the A and B Roads within the top 5 electoral divisions have been identified and casualty data analysed for each route. THE WAY FORWARD As the work on A and B roads must be completed by 201l, it is proposed that the work be evenly spread over the next four years with five areas being dealt with in 08/09 and 09/10 and then followed by four areas in 10/11 and 11/12. (See Appendix 3). A further progress report will be issued in 12 months time.

  • Highways & Byways in Sussex
    Highways & Byways in Sussex by E. V. Lucas (1904) CHAPTER XXXIV: EASTBOURNE Eastbourne is the most select, or least democratic, of the Sussex watering places. Fashion does not resort thither as to Brighton in the season, but the crowds of excursionists that pour into Brighton and Hastings are comparatively unknown at Eastbourne; which is in a sense a private settlement, under the patronage of the Duke of Devonshire. Hastings is of the people; Brighton has a character almost continental; Eastbourne is select. Lawn tennis and golf are its staple products, one played on the very beautiful links behind the town hard by Compton Place, the residence of the Duke; the other in Devonshire Park. It is also an admirable town for horsemanship. … The Martello towers, which Pitt built during the Napoleonic scare at the beginning of last century, begin at Eastbourne, where the cliffs cease, and continue along the coast into Kent. They were erected probably quite as much to assist in allaying public fear by a tangible and visible symbol of defense as from any idea that they would be a real service in the event of invasion. Many of them have now disappeared. BEACHY HEAD Eastbourne's glory is Beachy Head, the last of the Downs, which stop dead at the town The Beekeeper’s Apprentice Common Core study unit—www.LaurieRKing.com and never reappear in Sussex again. The range takes a sudden turn to the south at Folkington, whence it rolls straight for the sea, Beachy Head being the ultimate eminence. (The name Beachy has, by the way, nothing to do with the beach: it is derived probably from the Normans' description—"beau chef.") About Beachy Head one has the South Downs in perfection: the best turf, the best prospect, the best loneliness, and the best air.

  • The Charles Bo Cking Collection for The
    The Charles Bo_cking Collection of Wadhurst History DESCRIPTIVE NOTE AND CATALOGUE Compiled by Brian Harwood for the Trustees of the Bocking Collection which is located in the Wadhurst Institute, East Sussex Autumn 1990 DESCRIPTIVE NOTE The late Charlie Bocking collected information, both pictorial and written, on just about every aspect of life i-n Wadhurst and its locality. Everything he found out he sorted into one of three categories: (a) Photographic (b) Literary (c) Notes Category (a), held in sixteen boxes, has become welI known from various public exhibitions of selected items and themes; however, the other two categories have not before now been available to public use. The sequence of Literary items comprises a wi-de variety of written material on all aspects of Wadhurst 1ife, ranging from one-line descriptions to brochures and sma11 booklets. The Notes were Charlie's jottings and research comments covering a wide spectrum of Wadhurst subjects" As he verified and amplified these notes so he transf erred them j-nto the category (b) f iles. Initially, Charlie set up quite a complex cross- referencing system involving photo subjects, places, family names, literary sources and research notes. But, inevitably, as both he grew older and his collection grew greater, it became increasingly difficult for him to keep the reference system in step with the widening complexity of the col-lection. So, where possible, cross-referencing comments have been amended to suit the revised layout, ot deleted where no longer needed. To bring the collection back into coherent order and into a sequence which could be used more easily, the Literary category has been resorted into a simple alphabetical run of the subject headings as allocated by Charlie.

  • Forest Row Men Who Died in the Great War
    Forest Row Men who died in the Great War A casual reader of any village war memorial would assume that the list was complete, local, and represented families who had lived in the area for generations. In fact, research into the World War I War Memorial at Forest Row shows that this was far from true. Also, the Memorial and Book of Remembrance in Holy Trinity Church are not exhaustive, as other war dead are buried in the local cemetery. The Memorial Book is a thing of beauty, written in an elegant hand, in red and black ink, recording each man’s name, rank and number; regiment; where, when and how killed; parents’ names; birthplace; where buried; and the name of the informant. Only 24 of the 65 men remembered were born in the parish; of these, a mere 11 had spent most of their lives in the village before going to war. Another 10 were born in nearby parishes: Withyham, Hartfield, Horsted Keynes, East Grinstead and Felbridge. These were Albert Victor Brand, Raymond Cox, Thomas James Draper, Frederick Robert Edwards, Archibald Frederick Gladman, Frederick Holmwood, Albert Mills, James Simmonds, Philip Tomsett and Frederick Percy Webber. The 11 purely local men were: Edward James Luxford, house painter; Albert Mitchell, golf caddie and cousin of Abe Mitchell the famous golfer; Harry Page, builder’s labourer; Cyril Charles Robinson, clerk at Magnet’s Works, and son of the butler at Ashdown Park; Robert Charles Robson, himself a butler; brothers Alfred Jesse and William Thomas Sands, messenger boy with the General Post Office and apprentice draper respectively; Jack Frederick Sippetts; Albert Ernest Standen Tomsett, an apprentice at the cycle works; Albert James Upton and Eric Gordon Waters, electrical engineer.
