CONSULTATION: Sessingham Weir Community Consultations. Local residents, anglers and other interested parties are invited to Arlington Village Hall on Saturday September 15, noon to 4pm, to share their views on the future of Sessingham ,Weir. Sessingham Weir is an Environment Agency owned structure on the Cuckmere River. Weirs, such as Sessingham, degrade the upstream river habitat, creating an environment more similar to that found in a canal rather than a free flowing river. Weirs can also be a barrier to the movement of fish and other aquatic species, making them vulnerable to drought, floods, pollution events and disease. With the weir now over 50 years old, it is beginning to fail and is unlikely to be maintained. Due to this, a course of action is needed to ensure a safe and sustainable long term future for the river and its wildlife. The South East Rivers Trust has been working with the Environment Agency to investigate a variety of options for this structure and would like to discuss these at one of the consultation events. www.southeas triverstrust.org, E: info@southeas triverstrust.org
