Sedlescombe

THIS WEEKEND: The summer seems to be shooting by with another bank holiday this weekend and it is will not be too long until the children will be returning to school to start another academic year. I will refrain from using the festive C word just yet as we still have a few more months yet! What ever you choose to do over the next few weeks I hope the weather is kind and that enjoy your time together.

DATE FOR YOUR DIARY: Saturday September 10, there will be the annual Cream tea afternoon in the rectory garden by kind permission of Father Kevin starting at 3pm . Do keep the date to go along and join in having a delicious homemade cream tea in lovely surroundings on hopefully a lovely day.

SEDLESCOMBE – FIRST IN ROTHER: Many of you visited the village hall to view the proposed sites relating to the Neighbourhood Plan. Sedlescombe is the first Parish in Rother to do a Neighbourhood Plan and its now out for the formal consultation. Jonathan Vinehall, chair of the Parish council writes “We need to show we have the support of the community for the Plan to be approved. Without an approved Plan, Sedlescombe is at risk of housing development in large numbers where the community does not want it. Sedlescombe is being asked to find space for 35 houses in and around the village that both satisfy the District Council’s policies but also satisfy the majority of the community’s aspirations for new housing. The Parish Council has spent the last 3 years working on the plan and now its time for the formal consultation. To find out more about the plan you can look at it on line, at www.sedlescombe.org.uk or look at a hard copy in the village shop. Consultation forms are also available on line or in the shop and must be returned by September 12.”

SEDLESCOMBE THEATRE CLUB: There are still a few spaces available for the coach trip to Windsor Castle on September 21. The Queens wardrobe will be on display featuring clothes, jewellery and accessories she has worn during her reign. If you are interested in joining this trip please contact Shirley on 01424 870475 or Jenny on 01424 871445.
