and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
It will be a chance to see a number of short films that focus on different elements of the community's relationship with water and hear about some of the projects underway in the area, including schemes from the Sussex Flow Initiative, the Ouse and Adur Rivers Trust and Ouse Valley Climate Action. The event will also see the launch of the Love Our Ouse group’s programme of events for the coming year.
Councillor Matthew Bird, Member for Sustainability at Lewes District Council, said: “It is wonderful to see so many community projects emerging around the theme of water. The council and community have put a lot of effort into positive actions that tackle some of the challenges our waterways and coast face. This event is a chance to learn and celebrate some of those actions and achievements.”
