Message from Andy Mitchell, Countryside Officer, ESCC
The Cattle are now OFF Chailey Commons for the winter – however the Exmoor ponies remain at Red House Common.
Please also report any issues with gates, fences or missing signs to Andy.Mitchell@eastsussex.gov.uk
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.
