Parks, Public Spaces and Play Areas
The Government has outlined the importance of public parks and open spaces remaining open to the public, so please continue to enjoy these while following social distancing guidelines. Cemeteries also remain open. We’d like to remind residents that all the Council’s play areas, skate parks and outdoor gyms remain closed. Officers from Sussex Police are patrolling and may issue a £60 penalty to anyone seen using them.
