Travellers in Shinewater Park
Residents will no doubt have noticed that Travellers had set up in Shinewater Park over the last week. They have now been moved on after formal notice was issued to them. During the time that they were at the Park Sussex Police received a huge number of calls from local residents concerned about the location and also the impact it may have on children using the play facilities during the half term.
Sussex Police worked alongside Eastbourne Borough Council, East Sussex County Council, and other partners to ensure that a more suitable site was found for the travellers whilst looking out for the interest of local residents. Local Officers tried hard to keep all residents who contact the Police updated with what was happening as we are aware that the community in Shinewater were concerned over this issue.
If anyone would like to speak with Neighbourhood Officers about this issue please contact PC Ed Faulkner on 07787 685813.

Speed Checks in Shinewater
Members of the Shinewater Neighbourhood Panel, identified speeding as a priority. In response, officers used a Speed Intervention Device (SID) which targeted motorists one morning in Larkspur Drive, junction with Carisbrooke Close, Eastbourne. Fourteen motorists were caught speeding between 9am and 10.15 am. Drivers took action when they noticed ‘SID's 'unhappy' face. Comments on the day welcomed this action.
Sgt Ed Ripley, Neighbourhood Policing Team said: "It is important that drivers realise the speed that they are driving and the effect that this has on the local community. The SID was effective and drivers reacted by slowing down".
"The SID is designed to alert road users of their speed and will ultimately assist in reducing the potential for road traffic accidents through speed awareness".

The North Langney Community Forum has met to discuss the possibility of creating a new Neighbourhood Panel for the Shinewater area. This will build on the success of the work the Forum has done and ensure that activities such as the Fun Day is maintained. The new Panel is as much about bringing the community together as it is dealing with crime, anti-social behaviour and other related issues.
After meeting with the Forum members PC Ed Faulkner said, "This is a really positive step. We are building on the success that Panels in other areas of Eastbourne are having by extending it to Shinewater and surrounding areas. I would like to that the Forum members for being so positive about this and look forward to working closely together to bring this new Panel about. We will now begin the task of getting as many residents involved in this, and also approach local businesses and community groups."
The new Panel is looking to hold its first meeting in late March, and the date will be publicised as soon as possible. If you would like to get involved please contact PC Faulkner on ed.faulkner@sussex.pnn.police.uk or by calling 0845 60 70 999 using extension 19768.
