The questions
Your views for Bewl Water are sought. Some of the topics are:
- keeping the recreational facilities,
- preserving the natural environment,
- preserving the wildife,
- light pollution,
- building hotels there and
- maintaining and improving the facilities and training for young people.
Why now?
The managers of Bewl Water have step by step introduced plans for more overnight accommodation, claiming the recreation buildings can be converted. They held a very small consultation exercise and claimed the proposals were well received. The Sailing Club has said their facilies are being emasculated and their survival is in doubt. Please help Ticehurst and Wadhurst Parish Council discover the views of the local community and all those interested in the area.
