Who is liable?

Contempt for our wishes

Who is liable?
February 2023

Once again, I am writing to express concern, and question the truth of the matter regarding the singular goalpost on the Middle Salt adjacent to the busy footpath.

Erected by Rother District Council against the wishes of Rye Town Council, it should have been placed on the football and cricket Salts on the other side of the A259. Just this week, a lady was hit by a stray football as she walked past. In the case of any injury, just who is liable?

One town councillor has said to me "It's not our problem", but will Rother step up and accept liability? They have, after all, created this problem, displaying total contempt for our town council's wishes.
