There have been reports of some attempted scams in our area in the last few weeks, involving local residents, quite legitimately, selling their cars via various platforms. Luckily no one fell for this scam, but we understand that it is hard to get rid of said scammers.
If you have any problems, try blocking them on your phones and email, hopefully that may make a difference.

RDC Garden Waste Subscription from 15.07.24
Dear Clerk,
Garden waste collections
Increase in subscription from 15 July 2024
Further to the budget report dated 5 February 2024, it has been confirmed that the Garden Waste collections annual subscription charge will rise from 15 July 2024 to £81.00 per annum for the first container and £66.00 per annum for each subsequent container. It is appreciated this is a large increase, but this is an optional service, and at 22 pence per day, the service continues to offer good value for money. Our ability as a district council to generate income through additional council tax is limited. We must therefore find different ways to deliver and fund our services to try and meet the needs of residents. These increases come following years of funding cuts, soaring costs, and greater demand for services. Despite the use of the Council’s limited reserves we have still needed to identify almost £3 million of efficiency savings and additional income from investments and fees and charges to help balance our budget.
Our waste contract has increased by £1 million over the last 2 years and now costs us more than £6 million due to the significant inflationary pressures the country has been experiencing.
We are seeing similar challenges with the costs of homelessness and temporary accommodation which have tripled over the last 4 years from £0.6 million to £2 million. This is after taking account of government grant and the many initiatives the council has introduced to try and manage these costs. The costs of these two service areas alone represent around 40% of the Council’s net revenue budget for the 2024/25 financial year.
There are further challenges to come with the introduction of mandatory food waste collections from 2026 and at this time it is not clear what the additional costs of operating this service will be and how it is to be funded. This will be a statutory function which the Council will have to deliver.
The garden waste service is a non-statutory, optional service provided to residents at their request. It is with regret that the Council has needed to make this increase, but it is felt that at a cost of 22 pence per day the service still represents good value for money.
Annual subscription renewal process
The annual subscription period runs from 15 July to the following 14 July and is not a pro-rata subscription. Customers can pay and sign up to the service at any time during the subscription period, but the full year’s subscription charge will be due unless a special one-off promotion is in place at the time.
The annual subscription renewal process starts in April each year when the service closes to new subscribers and existing customers are contacted to invite them to renew their service from 15 July. The subscriptions service will then reopen to allow customers to renew or new customers to join the service at the new rate from 15 July. (Existing subscribers continue to receive their service throughout the renewal process as normal until the 14 July).
We hope the above will assist you in responding to enquiries from residents.

Roadworks Prinkle Hill 19.03.24-21.03.24
IMPORTANT ROADWORKS INFORMATION 26 February 2024
Prinkle Hill, Dallington
Dear Resident / Business owner,
Balfour Beatty is working in partnership with East Sussex County Council to manage the highways service across East Sussex. As part of this, we will be carrying out targeted patch repairs in Prinkle Hill, Dallington.
Once completed, these works will help improve the condition of the road surface.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Tuesday 19 March – Thursday 21 March between the hours of 8am – 4pm.
We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
How will this impact highway users?
The road will be closed to through traffic whilst the work is undertaken. A diversion route will be in place via The Street, Battle Road & vice versa.
If you need vehicle access, please discuss this with the team on site to see if this is possible. Please bear in mind, there will be delays whilst the area is made safe and your vehicle is escorted by site marshals.
Information for residents and businesses
Parking: We will put out ‘no parking’ signs and cones on the site to advise where parking is restricted. Please avoid parking in these locations as it will delay our works.
Weather: All of these works are subject to favourable weather conditions, for example heavy rain may affect the progress of the works.
Properties close to the carriageway may experience a temporary disturbance as this can be a noisy process and those properties may experience flashing lights and reversing sirens.
We would like to take this opportunity to apologise in advance for any inconvenience or disruption this work may cause, however this forms part of our continuing improvement for the East Sussex highway network.
