Cattle are moving onto Memorial, Pound and Romany Ridge Commons on the 29th April 2025

Exmoor ponies remain at Red House Common.

Please report any issues with gates, fences or missing signs to me (Andy.Mitchell@eastsussex.gov.uk) and do reply to me if you no longer wish to receive these update emails.  We are aware that the QR code on the notices on gates has expired and we are hoping to rectify that soon.  For the latest information, please see the Chailey Common webpage here : Chailey Common | East Sussex County Council

And a reminder that fly-tipping is dealt with by Lewes District Council along with litter, dog nuisance, car parks or bins – please contact them directly here: https://www.lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk/report-a-problem/

If you see a dead animal on the commons or roads, such as a deer please report it here Report a dead animal in the Lewes district – Lewes and Eastbourne Councils (lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk)

Please keep dogs under control so they don’t chase or worry the livestock.   Dog fouling remains an issue – and Neospora is a parasite that causes cattle to abort calves.  Please clean up after dogs and don’t allow them into the cattle troughs, this water is for drinking only.

Many thanks
