    HERSTMONCEUX AND WARTLING PARISH NEWS May 2020 50p This Month Reverend Richard writes the letter from the Rectory; Rev Peter’s Green Page; Melinda’s Famous Hymns column covers " Alleluia, Alleluia, Give Thanks to the Risen Lord ", plus the regular columns and news from around the parishes 1 From the Rectory Dear Friends, I am writing this on Easter Monday the headline in front of me says “The future of the virus unknowable” says the health secretary as over 10,000 related deaths have been recorded in our Hospitals. This sounds to me like we need some solid hope and I suspect that in May this will still be the case. However the Queen’s message for Easter yesterday did give hope and also food for thought in the midst of this dark time, and just to remind you, Easter is not over yet, it covers a period of 40 days, and every Sunday throughout the Christian year is also a celebration of Easter day. Here is a section of her address: “This year, Easter will be different for many of us, but by keeping apart we keep others safe. But Easter isn’t cancelled; indeed, we need Easter as much as ever. The discovery of the risen Christ on the first Easter Day gave his followers new hope and fresh purpose, and we can all take heart from this. We know that Coronavirus will not overcome us. As dark as death can be — particularly for those suffering with grief — light and life are greater. May the living flame of the Easter hope be a steady guide as we face the future”.

  • Agenda Item Report to Lead Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment Date 25 June 2007 Report by Director of Transport
    Agenda Item Report to Lead Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment Date 25 June 2007 Report By Director of Transport and Environment Title of Report National Cycle Network Route 21 – Cuckoo Trail Northern Extension Purpose of Report To consider the report of the feasibility study undertaken by consultants, Atkins Limited RECOMMENDATIONS 1. To note the report by Atkins Limited, the Executive Summary of which is set out in Appendix 1, and the commentary prepared by officers contained in Appendix 2.; and 2. To agree that further local consultation on the report’s findings will take place before any decision is taken regarding options for the Cuckoo Trail Northern Extension. 1. Financial Appraisal 1.1 There are no significant financial implications at this stage in respect of the recommendations detailed in this report. The further local consultation will require the hire of a suitable venue for a meeting at a cost of approximately £100 plus staff time which can be met from the revenue budget for Traffic Management. 1.2 In the event that the scheme proceeds, the Atkins report suggests a range of costs for the Heathfield to Mayfield section of £260,000 to £1 million depending on the option chosen, for which there is no current budget allocation. 2. Supporting Information 2.1 The National Cycle Network (NCN) Route 21 passes through East Sussex from Polegate to the county boundary near East Grinstead. At present the first 11 miles of this link from Polegate to Heathfield runs along the Cuckoo Trail, a high quality, largely traffic- free route, and similarly the last 10 miles from Groombridge to the county boundary is a traffic-free facility along the Forest Way.

  • Sea Defence Scheme Pevensey Environment Agency Battles With
    - Soo Mje.rn -o y( ft* E n v ir o n m e n t Ag e n c y Sea Defence Scheme Pevensey Environment Agency Battles With Storm conditions around Pevensey Bay 2 The Sea At Pevensey Who We Are As the guardians of the environment with responsibility to protect land, air and water throughout England and Wales, the Environment Agency is planning the biggest ever sea defence project in Sussex, a multi-million pound scheme to protect Pevensey Bay. The Environment Agency came into existence in April 1996 and combines the expertise of the previous National Rivers Authority (NRA), Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Pollution (HMIP) and the County Council Waste Regulation Authorities. The Agency took over the responsibility for sea defences at Pevensey Bay from the National Rivers Authority - covering a 9 kilometre stretch of coastline between Eastbourne and Bexhill. Environment Agency Information Centre Why Does Pevensey 4 Sea Defences? When William the Conqueror first set foot on English soil at Pevensey in 1066, the castle was on a peninsula surrounded by the sea which at that time extended almost as far inland as the outskirts of Hailsham. The castle then had a harbour and even its own fishing fleet. Today the castle is over a mile from the sea as successive generations have drained the surrounding marshes and built new sea defences. The nine kilometre long beach between Langney Point and Cooden provides the present defence against flooding from the sea. It protects a 50 square kilometre area including Pevensey Bay, Normans Bay, Langney, Westham and Pevensey itself.

  • [email protected] High Street, Polegate, East Sussex.BN26 5DJ
    Dr R D Brown and Mrs A Taylor Tel: 01323 482301 Email: [email protected] High Street, Polegate, East Sussex.BN26 5DJ Dear Patients It was been agreed with NHS Eastbourne, Hailsham and Seaford CCG that our branch surgery known as Hampden Park Surgery located in Brodrick Road, Eastbourne will be closing on the 31st March 2020. This has been a difficult decision to make and one we know will have a significant impact for some of our patients based locally to the surgery there. Due to the chronic lack of GP’s available to us, we are not able to guarantee a safe clinical service in the future and this is not fair to you or the staff asked to work there. We are moving the existing staff up to the main site in Polegate, Manor Park Medical Centre, so there will NOT be any less clinical staff available than there is now. The number of appointments currently available across both sites will be the same not less. We have converted some of our administration rooms into medical rooms to accommodate the increase in clinicians on site to be sure we can offer you the same number of appointments per day. There are various methods of transport up to Polegate and they are: Car -There are some parking spaces available for patients in our own carpark and free on road parking is available. There is also a carpark at Polegate station with 2 hours free parking. Bus - There is a bus stop in the high street by the train station and another just 100 meters from the practice on Eastbourne Road.
