 Peacehaven
& Telscombe Regeneration Partnership (PTRP) was established
in February 2001. The PTRP is made up of representatives from
the local statutory, voluntary
and community and business sector.
The PTRP undertook a public consultation, Your
Town Your Say, in 2001, which highlighted what local people identified
as needing improvement and investment. The Partnership found that
these broadly fitted into the following areas: better community
facilities; better transport; thriving local commercial and retail
services; access to education and skills training; sports and
leisure facilities. The Partnership meets up monthly to address
the issues and to work towards making improvements.
Get Involved:
The partnership welcomes involvement and representation
from voluntary/community groups/organisations and local businesses
in the towns who have a real interest and commitment in making
improvements in the areas identified above. If you would like
to get involved or to find out more, please get in touch.
In April 2005 the PTRP revisited the original
plan to review what had been achieved:
