  • Eastbourne to Hastings Via Bexhill Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Eastbourne to Hastings via Bexhill walk Flat coastal walk along the south coast past busy sea front promenades and quiet beaches. Shingle Check the tide times before doing this walk - do the middle section at low tide if possible The middle 2 km section of this walk is along a beach which at mid and high tide is all shingle, which is not fun to walk on. At low tide there is a sandy beach below the shingle which is much more pleasant to walk on. At mid/high tide, you could instead walk along the coast road (no sea view), catch a regular bus or irregular train. Length 24 km/15 miles - shorter options from around 8 km/5 miles Toughness 1 out of 10 (7 out of 10 if walking on shingle) Features This gentle walk follows the 15 miles (24 km) of flat coastline between Eastbourne and Hastings. It is in 3 parts - 2 seafront promenades with a quiet shingle beach in between which is nice to walk on only at low tide when the flat sandy part of the beach is uncovered. If doing the middle section, check tide times so you can walk along sand at low tide, rather than the shingle, which is very heavy going. Although the entire walk is quite long, there are shorter options, as there is a railway line following the coast, with several stations en-route. Eastbourne to Pevensey Bay - seafront promenade Starting in Eastbourne, a faded Edwardian grandeur seaside resort, the walk heads from the station down through a pedestrian shopping street to a very nice seafront esplanade and a Victorian pier (1 km) and a sandy beach.

  • Winter 2020/21 Newsletter
    East Sussex Hearing Winter 2020/21 Newsletter SEASONS GREETINGS! Our lovely new Eastbourne Centre! As winter approaches we are hopeful that the New Year will bring good news for everyone… turn over to find out more about our hopes and plans for 2021 Registered Charity No: 1101140 Hello from your CEO David Rowan Well, what an eventful year it has been. It started off like most New Year’s do, very quiet. Then, in mid-February we started to hear of cases of a new virus in China that was initially thought to be localised and similar to the SARS virus of 2003. It quickly became apparent that this was a completely different virus and far more infectious. Within a matter of weeks, the virus had spread beyond China and we ultimately ended up with the Coronavirus pandemic that has gone on to effect most, if not all countries in the world. We then went into our first 12-week lockdown and our Centre had to close its doors to the public for the very first time. All our outreach activities were cancelled including lipreading and sign language classes, support groups and our hearing aid maintenance service. However, a skeleton staff continued to work from the office providing vital support and information to clients by telephone, text and email. We also started our new “hearing aid batteries by post” service which we have continued to provide ever since, and will carry on doing until a more ‘normal’ life returns. However, this year has not been all doom and gloom. It was towards the end of the first lockdown that we realised we wouldn’t be able to resume our classes and equipment demonstrations from St Leonards Road because of the new covid distancing requirements and so we took the 2 plunge and moved into new, bright, comfortable and spacious premises in Chantry House, just a short walk from St Leonards Road.

  • Duty to Cooperate: Statement of Common Ground Cross-Boundary Working and Meeting Housing Needs
    Duty to cooperate: Statement of common ground Cross-boundary working and meeting housing needs This agreement is between: Lewes District Council South Downs National Park Authority Adur District Council Arun District Council Brighton and Hove City Council Chichester District Council Crawley Borough Council Eastbourne Borough Council Hastings Borough Council Horsham District Council Mid Sussex District Council Rother District Council Wealden District Council Worthing Borough Council Map 1: Lewes district in context 1 1. Background 1.1 Section 110 of the Localism Act 2011 places a legal duty on local planning authorities and other prescribed bodies to cooperate with each other on strategic planning matters insofar as they are relevant to their administrative areas throughout the preparation of their development plan documents. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) 2012 reiterates this duty and requires an independent inspector to assess whether the development plan they are examining has been prepared in accordance with the duty to cooperate. 1.2 It is expected that engagement and cooperation will be constructive, active and ongoing in order to maximise effectiveness throughout plan preparation as well as implementation, delivery and subsequent review. The national Planning Practice Guidance confirms that this is not a duty to agree but that local planning authorities should make every effort to secure the necessary cooperation on cross-boundary strategic matters before submitting development plan documents for examination. The examination will test whether the duty has been complied with. 2. Purpose 2.1 This statement of common ground sets out how Lewes District Council and South Downs National Park Authority have actively and positively sought to comply with the duty to cooperate in the preparation of the Joint Core Strategy development plan document on strategic planning matters, with the main cross-boundary factor affecting Lewes district being housing provision.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by East Sussex County Council [ASC 021]
    Written evidence submitted by East Sussex County Council [ASC 021] • How has Covid-19 changed the landscape for long-term funding reform of the adult social care sector? The challenges facing the adult social care market prior to the pandemic are well documented and, in many cases, have been brought into sharp focus over the last 12 months. Local Authority published rates; contract arrangements (e.g. block arrangements); commissioning approaches (e.g. strategic partners) and CCG funding agreements including Better Care Fund allocations are all key funding reform considerations which sit alongside the necessity to offer choice, personalised care and high quality, safe services. Residential and nursing care There are 306 registered care homes in East Sussex – the majority are small independently run homes, which don’t have the wrap-around organisational infrastructure enjoyed by larger / national providers. In East Sussex, Local Authority placements are made across around one-third of the residential and nursing care market. At the peak of the second wave over 100 care homes in East Sussex were closed to admissions due to Covid outbreaks. Week commencing 04/01/21 there were 853 confirmed cases of Covid19 in East Sussex care home settings. During 2021, as of the week ending 19/03/2021, East Sussex has had 2,404 deaths registered in total and 1,110 of these have been attributable to COVID-19, of which 597 have occurred in hospital and 436 have occurred in care homes (LG reform data). In the two years up to April 2019, there were 26 residential and nursing home closures in East Sussex resulting in a loss of 435 beds, across all care groups.

  • Wealden District Council
    Electoral Review Wealden District Council Stage One - Council Size Submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (July 2015) Introduction The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) is an independent body that is responsible for conducting boundary and electoral reviews of principal authorities in England. The Commission is carrying out an electoral review of Wealden District Council in a coordinated process alongside simultaneous reviews of all the districts and boroughs in East Sussex as well as East Sussex County Council. The electoral review will examine whether the boundaries of wards (divisions for a county council) within the local authority area need to be altered to ensure fair representation at the local government elections. In the case of East Sussex it has been identified that the county and two of the five districts/boroughs have triggered the intervention criteria of the Commission. East Sussex County Council and Hastings Borough Council both meet the criteria for electoral inequality due to 34% and 38% of divisions/wards respectively having a variance of greater than +/- 10% and in Wealden there is a single ward (Uckfield Ridgewood) that has a variance of greater than 30%. The other Districts/Borough in East Sussex are also likely to become subject to an electoral review in the near future due to significant electoral imbalances between wards. It was, therefore, agreed that a County wide review would take place to ensure economies of effort as well as providing opportunities for a co-ordination of boundaries between the tiers of local government in the County. The table below sets out the current imbalances in the County and Wealden.
