20 MAY 2026 - Many locals are saying this development in the green fields so long enjoyed by walkers, is totally inappropriate. Local residents hope these will not be used to house immigrant asylum seekers, where there is a primary school locally, and not much else in the way of local facilities, at the village of Herstmonceux. The ground works company is; Kelf. According to recent reports, many developers are facing insolvency, with house prices fluctuating, due to political international uncertainty. And, the lack of genuinely affordable for local families.

1ST AND 20TH JULY 2026 - Carnage, as a historic view is totally trashed by developers, allegedly. In the lower picture you can see a very old pipe that leads to the Museum at Herstmonceux. This was uncovered, and we are pleased to report that the ground workers took the trouble to document the find, that East Sussex archaeologists did not locate. Local walkers have lost their public footpaths. They now have to walk a narrow passage between two steel fences, that reminds many pedestrians of a scene from a concentration camp. Allegedly.
