Minutes:
Mr Crook advised the Group that an 1852 rare surviving lamp post in the Seafront Conservation Area had been replaced without permission with a tubular lamp post. It had been previously agreed that any removals of historic lamp posts would undergo a consultation period.
Following a site meeting with contractors involving Mr Crook and the Specialist Advisor for Conservation, a community project was being set up between the contractor dealing with public highways, Eastbourne Borough Council and The Eastbourne Society to reinstate historic lamp posts in the Seafront Conservation Area.
The Group supported the project.
An update would be provided to the Group at a future meeting.
NOTED.
