A new donation post has gone up in Rye Harbour outside the public toilets. There are also donation posts in the car park. Many similar facilities in other parts of the county require the user to pay a fee.
Icklesham Parish Council took over responsibility of the car park and public conveniences in Rye Harbour in 2016. Jenner Sands, Clerk to the council said: "This was a very important project for the Parish Council as we wanted to ensure that the car park remained free to use for both residents and visitors. Running the car park and toilets costs the Parish Council around £21,000 per year. Some of these costs are covered by donations collected from generous car park users. However, with the ever-increasing energy costs the Parish Council are keen to keep costs down for residents and so it is hoped that this extra donation post will help generate more donations to keep both facilities running on a donation basis."
Please, when you visit this beautiful part of Sussex remember to put a donation in the collection posts. Help the council to carry on providing these facilities free, every little helps.
