Police Funding Survey
After increasing the amount we pay in our Council Tax for the Police, the frontline officer strength is being increased by 200 over the next 4 years.
The Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner believes that residents are willing to pay for more resources during the 2018-2022 period if the government removes the cap on the Police precept.
Please click this link to complete a survey to help her gauge the appetite for these increases. To find out more about this funding cycle, click here.

If you like watching Shire horses do a task that is better done by a tractor, then this clip is for you. In addition to the two horses, there are eight people shown. If you recognize any of them, please let us know.
Riparian Responsibilities
If you have a watercourse, ditch, stream, river or culvert on, or next to, your land, you are known as a ‘riparian owner’. Riparian owners are responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of watercourses on their land to ensure that they are not a flood risk to other people or property. Well maintained watercourses can significantly benefit the local community by reducing flood risk and creating habitats for wildlife.
Under law, the riparian responsibilities for landowners are to:
- Ensure the flow of water is not obstructed or polluted;
- Maintain the bottom and sides of the watercourse (including managing any trees and vegetation growing on the banks);
- Remove any obstructions, such as rubbish, fallen branches or garden waste;
- Maintain any structures (such as trash screens, culverts, weirs and mill gates) on it.
