THE COUNCIL has agreed funding of up to £615,000 to deliver a Supported Apprenticeship programme to create opportunities for some of the county’s most vulnerable residents.
People living in East Sussex in supported and temporary accommodation, and those at risk of homelessness in the county, will be given support to access apprenticeship placements and vocational training and earn sufficient income to help them live independently.
Youngsters across the county are being encouraged to stand up for the planet as an annual reading challenge gets underway next month.
East Sussex libraries are calling on children aged four to 12 to read six books over the summer months as part of The Reading Agency’s Wild World Heroes, Summer Reading Challenge 2021.
NIGHT-TIME road closures will be in place on Little London Road, Heathfield for four weeks to allow for drainage work.
Work will start on Monday, July 12 and continue until Friday, August 6.
This essential work is required to clean and carry out repairs to the drainage pipes and road gullies, as well as construct new access chambers, to enable future maintenance to help reduce flooding between the A265 junction and The Firs Surgery.
OPENING hours at libraries across the county returned to normal this month.
From Tuesday, June 1 pre-lockdown opening hours resumed at all East Sussex libraries giving residents more opportunity to browse, read and borrow books, use the computers or free wifi, and access study spaces.
