TRAFFIC IN THE VILLAGE: Parish Councillor Andy Waters writes” Following the Sedlescombe Annual Parish Assembly, it was clear that there were many concerns regarding the situation regarding the traffic problems in and around the village. Sedlescombe Parish Council made the decision to form a Traffic Advisory Group to provide liaison between residents, the Parish Council, and Rother District Council. For this to operate, we need just a few residents who are prepared to give just a few hours each month and join the Group so that problems can be looked at from all perspectives.” If you feel that you can help, please contact him on 870693.
