Western Lawns transformed to thank the NHS

Eastbourne’s Western Lawns have been transformed this week to thank the NHS.

On Thursday (May 7) contractors from Southern Land Services used a robotic white line painting machine to draw love hearts and write the words Thank You NHS From Eastbourne.

The idea was the brainchild of Southern Land Service boss John Hesse, who lives in Eastbourne, and was agreed by Eastbourne council bosses.

A message from the Editor, Gary Shipton:

In order for us to continue to provide high quality and trusted local news, I am asking you to please purchase a copy of our newspapers.

With the coronavirus lockdown having a major impact on many of our local valued advertisers - and consequently the advertising that we receive - we are more reliant than ever on you helping us to provide you with news and information by buying a copy of our newspapers.

Our journalists are highly trained and our content is independently regulated by IPSO to some of the most rigorous standards in the world. But being your eyes and ears comes at a price. So we need your support more than ever to buy our newspapers during this crisis.

Stay safe, and best wishes.
