What’s Happening
Major improvement works have taken place in Rye Harbour car park including some resurfacing, and the height barrier has been repaired and the height slightly extended for those people who forget they have boxes on top of their cars…. Line markings have now been introduced to aid better parking and increase capacity with double yellows to stop the parking on the approach road. We are also planning some improvement works to the public toilets.
Excitingly we have also installed two arm and pedal exercise bikes in Coronation Field Rye Harbour, Harbour Field Winchelsea Beach and Icklesham Recreation Ground. We are in the process of applying for the necessary consents for these to be installed in Jubilee Filed in Winchelsea. Thanks to Rother Di6strict Council for their match funding. So get peddling and get fit! This was a project Cllr Mrs Stanford raised a few years ago, so if you have any other ideas for your ward let the Clerk know and we will do our best to deliver.
