Camber village voice

It is an important meeting for the village, the only meeting each year, when we are able to give the Parish Councillors feedback on their performance and also raise questions. Don’t miss the opportunity.

The Parish Church continues to function well without it’s own minister thanks to the good will of retired ministers around the villages and the hard work of the two Wardens, Mike Botton and James Laidler.

Everyone in the church is working hard to go the extra mile and it all seems to be going along nicely. Well done everyone.

Due to the weather recently, we have mostly been dealing with weather related incidents, towards the end of April, a vehicle travelling from Rye towards Lydd, lost its load at various points along the A259 and the Camber road, making it dangerous for other road users, another road user had a close call when a 8 metre length of 4 x 2 fliped off the vehicle carrying it and nearly hit their vehicle travelling in the opposite direction, all the wood was removed from the carriage way by police but the vehicle was never traced.

Also this week, due to the weather, poor unsuspecting sheep must have fallen into the river rother, and drowned, and floated out to sea, ending up laying on the sandy beach at Camber, and shocked dog walkers found them and rang the police, unfortunatly this is fairly regular, Camber beach often gets animals washed up, from sheep, to dolphins, and seals, as well as lots of foreign objects kindly donated to the sea by fishermen and other sea users, so the meassage is if you come across something on the beach, don’t touch it, just let the coastal control officers or myself know and we can deal with it.

Come and meet me at one of my Meet Me in Person meetings coming up, May 15th at the Camber Priority Panel Meeting at the Camber Memorial Hall at 7pm, and also May 24th at the Camber Police Box, Central Car Park, Old Lydd road at 10:30am
