We've lost the flag
Added to Camber and Winchelsea beaches, also under their supervision, this gives Rother District Council the dubious honour in East Sussex of having been stripped of five of the six former distinctions gained by resorts locally in 2010. Could there be a management message here?
Perhaps to compensate for the visual loss of the flags, West Parade promenaders this year can give each other cheery new waves each time they pass the delightful so-called shelters and other improvements currently adding so much to the attractions of the now officially downgraded beach area.
