  Talk about Ministry of the Bleeding Obvious. I saw a piece in the Sussex Express recently where East Sussex County Council was 'urging residents to burn off the Christmas calories with a winter walk along public footpaths'. Lead cabinet member for economy, transport and environment cllr Carl Maynard, was quoted as saying: 'Walking is one of the easiest ways to be physically active and can help you become fitter and lose weight. ...

  Residents in Crowborough could enjoy a council tax freeze for the part they pay to Wealden District Council for the 2012 to 2013 financial year.

Personal I am not convinced.  I am not sure what was wrong with the old site, although I understand that it was difficult to update.  However whilst some information is just as easy to fiind as it was looking for Agendas and Minutes is a total nightmare, and of course if you want to minutes and agendas from meetings...

  East Sussex County Council has extended the time that residents can comment on plans to close Hookstead, for another 30 days, until September 9. It says it will give people more time to have their say, especially if they have been away over the holiday season. Part of me thinks there could be more to this - where they perhaps challenged legally for what they were thinking of doing? Hookstead in Crowborough is owned by the...
