Seaford Beach, A Case for Change!

Representatives from Sink One 4 Seaford attended a recent Seaford Town Meeting (24th Jan '08) to see how Jim Skinners proposal 'Seaford Beach, a case for change' was met.

There was a good show of support at the meeting. After much discussion and a good case put forward by Jim, overall it was agreed that it was definitely time for Seaford beach to be looked at again, although some concerns were raised about the safety in some of the plans laid out for the Bay.

Seaford Town Council voted and agreed almost unanimously on the three recommendations put forward by Jim -

1/Discussions should definitely take place between the Enviroment Agency and other interested parties, with a view to enabling a feasibility study into strategies for Seaford beach.

2/Seaford Town Council should arrange and facilitate any meetings between the Enviroment Agency, Newhaven Town Council, Mr Skinner and any other interested parties.

3/The council should arrange regular 6 monthly meetings between the Enviroment Agency and representatives from key organisations in the town to discuss the ongoing management of Seaford beach.

It was nice to see that Tony Fowler and Sink One 4 Seaford were also mentioned by several Council members, for the work they are doing for the bay.

Well done Jim, we look forward to seeing what happens next!
