Eh. What on earth do you mean? Sorry if I'm being dim, but how is a beach classed as a village green and moreover, what on earth have the French got to do with it? Newhaven was in England last time I checked.

We spent many happy days on the beach and exploring round and about. The only sandy beaches were Newhaven in the east and Littlehampton in the west. And Newhaven was closest to Rottingdean.

Your support is not that great
The local campaign is based on the argument that a public open space is effectively a village green. It's a clever interpretation of the law.
Sadly that I think that beach was where the young lad was killed in the storms a month or two ago.
I went down there a few years back and it was a sorry state. All of the buildings which housed the cafe/shop, amusement arcade (and a museum?) had been removed and the beach was fenced off and there was a huge oil rig looking thing parked up in the bay.

Thanks, that had somehow slipped my memory. We must be mad, we sell control of our utilities to the French and now our beaches. It's not as if they're short of some good beaches......

No, the boy was the other side of the breakwater, on the stony beach.

Thanks for clarifying. It doesn't make the case any less tragic wherever it happened, but I could imagine the incident being dragged into the argument with the French owners had it happened on the other beach.

The Museum moved to Paradise Park by the way, next door to the dinosaur house.

I am an estate agent in Newhaven and can I say that prices have gone up purely because of the lack of stock. Once more comes on into the new year I am fully expecting them to drop slightly. To be honest as a first time buyer I think Newhaven is a great place to buy, the prices are lower than anywhere else locally and in my opinion when the proposed development work goes ahead on the East side of the river prices will start to creep up again. This is backed up by the fact that a lot of investors are currently buying though us. Good luck.

Seaford has enough sand to fill a bucket.

You'll get to visit Newhaven Fort... managed by the lovely Mrs Gripper.
Seriously I have lived in Denton, Newhaven and Seaford all my life and like it. It's alright!

Before the new beach was created, there were areas, much like Eastbourne, where there was a fair bit of sand. Much safer now though.

I was there earlier this year, it was incredibly interesting but also incredibly cold as we were there at the tail end of winter. Not a heater anywhere in sight!

They threatened to pull out earlier this year and cancel all the ferries but then backed down. It gets me because they wouldn't allow Dieppe to look as shabby as Newhaven dock.
