With the warmer weather, you may choose Camber beach as the beach to visit this summer.

Camber is very popular and often has over 20,000 visitors a day with limited car parking spaces and amenities. 

On these days the roads leading into Camber become congested very quickly with up to a 4 hour wait in traffic, which means you’re more likely to be sitting in a hot car than on a hot beach.

Please remember  – 

🥛 Take plenty of water with you in case you get stuck in traffic. 

📱 Plan ahead for your trip to the beach. Download the FREE Beach Check UK app, and you’ll be able to view congested areas and avoid getting stuck in traffic or missing out on your day to the beach. 

🚩 Stick to walking on dry, compact sand. As soon as you feel it start to become soft, turn around and retrace your steps. 

🗄️ please take your rubbish home with you when out visiting our beautiful beaches and green spaces 

If you’re in trouble in the water, remember #FloatToLive. Lean back and use your arms and legs to help you float (like a starfish). #RespectTheWater

We are carrying out continued high visibility patrols in Battle Great Woods in response to ongoing reports of nuisance motorbikes and quad bikes. This activity poses a risk to public safety and causes damage to the environment.

We are working closely with Forestry England to tackle the issue and take appropriate enforcement action. Riders found causing alarm, distress, or damage may be subject to Section 59 of the Police Reform Act, which gives us the power to seize offending vehicles.

🔎 Appeal for Information – Vandalism at Bexhill Sixth Form College Sports Pavilion

We are appealing for information following an incident of vandalism at the sports pavilion on Gunters Lane, Bexhill-on-Sea.

Officers attended the site on 14th June after reports of damage to the interior of the pavilion. The facility, which is used by local sports clubs and community groups, sustained significant damage including broken lights and doors, paint thrown inside, and water left running.

This incident has had a disruptive impact on the community, and we are actively investigating several lines of enquiry to identify those responsible.

We are asking anyone who may have seen or heard anything unusual in the area near the sports field adjacent to Bexhill Academy to come forward. Even small details could assist our investigation.
