I was made very welcome at the Horam parish council meeting last week and this week I look forward to visiting Rotherfield and Arlington meetings.

We have had a group of people camp up on land in Heathfield over the weekend. They are here to celebrate a new moon festival. There has been no music or disruption and they are on private land. We are in touch with the landowners and there should be no issues with other members of the community in the Heathfield area due to the fact the group are on a very secluded bit of land.

There have been no incidents of note to update you with during the last week. Remember to follow your local team on twitter for all the current updates. Follow the local officers on @wealdenpol or follow me for all the latest updates on @WealdenDistComm. I have 99 followers now and would like more so get as many people to follow us. Live updates on what is happening across the District. Keeping you in touch.

Enjoy the sun and please report any suspicious activity.

Proud to be serving Wealden.
Dick Coates, Wealden District Commander.
