Beaches bask in awards sunshine for another year
Birling Gap and Pevensey Bay, the only two beaches managed by Wealden District Council, are once again in the swim, having netted the two key UK beach awards, the ENCAMS Seaside Award and a recommendation in the Marine Conservation Society’s Good Beach Guide.
“These are important awards for our two rural beaches, which make them great places to visit all the year round,” said Cllr Mrs Pam Doodes, Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Health and Public Safety.

A22 litter initiative
Responding to concerns about the amount of litter being left behind by road users, Wealden District Council has launched a concerted effort to improve the state of cleanliness of the main roads through Wealden.
The programme is being run in conjunction with East Sussex County Council Highways Department which is currently carrying out its ‘Visibly Better Roads’ initiative.
The Wealden initiative has begun by focusing on the A22 from Willingdon to Forest Row, but will also be carrying out trials on other main roads.
New Wildlife Art adds to Cuckoo Trail attractions

Earlier this month the Council unveiled new safety railings at Horam, designed and made by local blacksmith Eric Lamprell.
