Peasmarsh Village Voice

This survey is being carried out by Action in Rural Sussex, a charity working to address issues affecting rural communities, in partnership with Rother District Council and the Parish Council.

In most rural areas there is a yearly reduction in the number of affordable homes available which has resulted in many young people and families having to move away from their roots to find affordable housing.

If you or anyone you know is in need of affordable housing or has some other housing need please complete and return the survey.

If you know of someone who used to live locally, has moved away but would like to return this survey is also for them as they have a local connection and could therefore be eligible for any housing that may be provided in the future.

For more information on the survey or about affordable housing generally please contact Tom Warder, Rural Housing Enabler at Action in rural Sussex, Tel : 01273 479 008, E-mail: [email protected]
