Burwash Village Hall Update March 2024
BURWASH VILLAGE HALL
At their AGM on Friday 15th March 2024, it was unanimously agreed that the Burwash Village Hall Management Committee would not seek re-election for the future. We are an ageing committee most of whom have worked very hard during the last 17 years (some longer than that). Management of the Village Hall will now become the sole responsibility of Burwash Parish Council. This is to ensure that the Hall remains a community asset moving forward. Our thanks go to all the committee members and supporters who have worked tirelessly in aid of our much-loved Hall! The transition will take time but please note that from now on contact should be made through the Parish Council Clerk parishclerk@burwashpc.org.uk or 07375 809 660

Rother Planning Committee Vote to Refuse Strand Meadow Application
Rother District Council planning committee this morning voted to refuse the reserved matters planning application for the site at Strand Meadow.
After hearing from speakers including Martyn Wright, a resident of Strand Meadow, Robert Banks for Save Our Fields, both Cllr. John Barnes & Cllr. Eleanor Kirby-Green as well as our own Cllr. Anne Newson, the committee refused the application citing a number of points including “concerns that the scheme will not enhance or conserve the AONB landscape and would result in changes to the land forms of the site generated by the layout of the parking and housing development.”
