04 September - Ban Beatty Road Parking Charge - A PETITION has been set up to protest at the parking chaos for the Beatty Road shops.  First, it was free parking for many, many years. Then recently it became pay to park.  Now it’s permit only.  Traders are devastated – so please help them by signing this petition. The loal shops are really the heart of the community and we are now in danger of losing them, along with local residents’ livelihoods and jobs.  Passing trade is vital for these businesses who have already been hit badly by the pandemic.  Click here to sign the petition on change.org

29 July - Damaged steps at Port Moresby Place - SHRA raised this matter with the ward councillors who tell us that EBC officials have contacted the developer who will carry out repairs in the next week or so. 

25 June - Public Open Space (POS) - this week SHRA wrote to the developers of Macaulay Place on Pacific Drive, about the progress of the POS they have to provide. They quickly replied saying that progress in some areas had been delayed due to shortages in materials, and that they had missed the Spring planting season for trees and shrubs because of trouble getting enough topsoil - these will now be planted in the Autumn.

They confirmed that they have laid out pathways, topsoiled and grass-seeded (the recent rain has been very timely). They have ordered fencing and hope to start work on it in a couple of weeks. They will open at least one of the footpaths as a cut through to Pevensey Bay Road as soon as the fencing and pathway chicanes (to slow down cyclists) are in place, but will want to keep people off the grass until it has had a chance to become established.

They are waiting for the Council`s final sign off on the choice of street furniture – benches, litter bins, cycle hoops etc. SHRA will chase the local councillors about this. The developer was sorry it was taking longer than expected.
