Eastbourne Community Board Walk Around

The walk-around is an annual event that sees ECB members and a Council officer visit each of the Eastern Bays in turn to discuss any issues and concerns. Issues are logged with Council and the ECB follows up on progress. We plan to start at Point Howard at 9am and move south, spending 20-30 minutes in each bay at an agreed location. Please leave this date free. We'll be in touch with more information closer to the time.
