Temporary Testing Facility at Mill Road Car Park

The mobile unit will be on site Saturday 29th January and Sunday 30th January and appointments slots will be available to book from 6pm on Friday 28th January. Visitors to the facility must have pre-booked an appointment.

Testing is only available for those either with coronavirus symptoms – a high temperature, a new, continuous cough, or a loss or change to sense or taste – or those who have been asked to get tested by a doctor, public health professional or by their local council. Anyone with one or more of these symptoms should book a test at nhs.uk/coronavirus or by calling 119. 

Wealden residents consulted on council tax increase

A six week consultation is underway with Wealden District Council over a proposal to increase Council Tax for the first time in 2 years.

Wealden District Council announced a freeze on a Council tax increase last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This year the authority is proposing a 2.53% increase on council tax bills from 2022/23, which is equivalent to £5 a year – or 9p a week – for a Band D property.

The consultation launched this month following approval by the Council’s Cabinet committee. It will run until Thursday 20 January 2022.

CCTV

We are pleased to announce that the CCTV at Tower Recreation Ground has now gone live. The pictures will feed direct to the police. We have listened to residents’ concerns about anti-social behaviour and have installed the CCTV to help alleviate the problems at this site. We are already working on obtaining the necessary permissions to also install CCTV at the skatepark.
