Community Speedwatch

The reactivated Community Speedwatch group has been active for two years. Our purpose is to get people to slow down and modify their driving behaviour and not necessarily to “catch people”. You probably have seen us active in several locations in Chailey on a variety of days and times. Since reactivation, a recent session for the first time recorded no vehicles exceeding the limit. We hope that our presence has influenced drivers approaching the village, to check their speed and slow down if necessary. We all probably at some time have been surprised by how fast we have been driving and these sessions just remind us all to take care.

East Sussex County Council - Coronavirus Information and Support

A message from Keith Glazier, leader of the County Council to all East Sussex residents. Every one of us in East Sussex has been affected by coronavirus. It has brought drastic changes to our daily lives and, in some cases, great sadness. My thoughts are with everyone coping with grief and worry at this unprecedented time. As leader of the county council, I’d also like to focus on what we can do to help each other in East Sussex. We have brilliant health and social care staff putting themselves on the front-line each day to help the sick and the vulnerable. We have dedicated emergency services, teachers, delivery drivers, shop staff and thousands more all helping to keep us protected and supplied. And we have volunteers taking on more work for their communities in this time of need. A heartfelt thank-you to them all.

Covid-19 Emergency Measures for Allotment Holders

The government is presently advising the population to stay at home and practice social distancing, whilst being allowed to take one form of exercise a day. If working your allotment is to carry on being seen as legitimate exercise then it is imperative that plot-holders follow all the guidelines, allotment sites are as risky as anywhere else. We think that now is the time to consider working your plot in isolation i.e. not with household members and if you can stay away for a few weeks to do so.
