Please be aware a shipping container has washed up on Seaford Beach. Relevant partner agencies have been made aware and will be working to get this removed. The contents included food and packaging, so please keep dogs away. Further updates will be provided later today.

We know that some people may be out and about having a drink whilst celebrating bonfire season.

With high tides and recent rain, riverbanks and edges can be very slippery and dangerous.

➡️ Stay with your mates and stay safe.

The work is essential for both the #Seaford sea defence and for ensuring the structure remains safe for public access. The groyne will be temporarily closed from 10th February until early April.

📢 Today, on the day of Lewes Bonfire, trains will not call at Lewes, Falmer, Southease, Glynde & Cooksbridge after 17:00.

We’ve been asked to do this by the emergency services & other agencies who are concerned about the very real risks of overcrowding and safety in the narrow streets of Lewes.

🚉 Plan ahead at https://t.co/wGO3e1x53C
