ESH & BALFOUR BEATTY IMPORTANT ROADWORKS INFORMATION
MALLING HILL, LEWES – Work will be carried out from 8pm on Monday 9 December 2024 to 4am on Tuesday 10 December 2024
Carrying out drainage investigation works.
While we work hard to cut storm overflows across our region, as set out in our £1.5bn Clean Rivers and Seas Plan, it is key that communities can view information on all our storm overflow activity.
From 13 November 2024, our new Rivers and Seas Watch service replaced the Beachbuoy online monitoring tool.
Rivers and Seas Watch now includes all of our storm overflows including those inland, not just our coastal overflows.
Rivers and Seas Watch has been running in beta mode on our website since June. During this time, we collected feedback from users, including Beachbuoy subscribers, campaign groups and local stakeholders, to ensure Rivers and Seas Watch provides relevant information in an easy to read format. Technology experts also fed into our Beachbuoy Independent Review.
Key features of Rivers and Seas Watch include:
Improving how we communicate this important information to the public in a transparent, accurate and timely way is crucial. Rivers and Seas Watch has been created following a customer-first approach, engaging extensively with our community to understand their needs, wants and feedback from Beachbuoy.
Users can sign up for alerts for their local beaches on Rivers and Seas Watch, as data protection rules mean we cannot carry previous Beachbuoy users over.
| A new survey is set to reveal how prepared Sussex residents are for emergencies.
The survey https://sussexpolice.welcomesyourfeedback.net/srf aims to identify current levels of risk awareness and preparedness across the county. The results will be used to ensure residents have the information they need to help them become more resilient. The top risks that Sussex faces, including flooding, wildfires and utilities disruption, are contained in the Community Risk Register for Sussex, which provides an assessment of how likely these risks are to happen and the impacts if they do, so that local people can be better prepared in their homes, communities and businesses. The Community Risk Register is produced by the Sussex Resilience Forum (SRF), whose membership covers the Sussex Police force area and includes the emergency services, local authorities, Environment Agency, health agencies, and voluntary and private sector organisations such as utility companies. The SRF provides a formal structure for these organisations to work together, to identify potential risks and produce and test emergency plans to either prevent or reduce the impact of any incident on local communities. Commenting on the launch of the Local Risk Perception Survey, SRF Chair Assistant Chief Constable Steve Rayland, Sussex Police, said: “I urge residents to complete the local risk perception survey and share their views with us. The responses will help us identify what further support and information our communities require so that we can help them to be more resilient.” Please click here to complete the survey. It will only take 5 minutes to complete. If you need any support to complete the survey please contact: SussexResilienceForum@sussex.police.uk. |
We are delighted to announce the official opening of the Almond Field which took place on Tuesday 15th October 2024. The field was kindly donated by the late Bill Almond who lived in the village with his wife Anne for many years. Parish Cllr Duke has worked closely with Bill’s brother-in-law, Roger Catchpole, and Roger’s wife Michèle, for over a year to bring to life the vision of this space for the community. The field now has an access path, two newly installed benches and many wildflowers have been planted to increase the biodiversity and has been accepted by the Southdowns National Park Authority (SDNPA) as a ‘Call for Nature’ site. Michèle and Roger officially opened the field and were really pleased with the overall feeling of the field. Cllr Gordon Sims, Chair of Ringmer Parish Council, and Cllr Dave Duke, who is leading the project, also attended. It is hoped that the field will provide a quiet reflective space for local residents to enjoy.
The Council would like to thank the SDNPA for their support both in grant funding and Ranger Service and the Catchpoles were thrilled with the work undertaken by Tony Read who installed the access path and benches.
