P08/95 Tower Mill Place, Park Croft
Clerk advised Members that she had spoken to Cllr Ron Cussons and Cllr Stephen Shing. Cllr Shing advised the following.

'Wealden District Council has successfully completed the exercise of relocating residents from Tower Mill Place to suitable alternative accommodation.

A small presence remains on site, so the Council are continually monitoring the situation to ensure security. They are keen to keep the process low key, so as not to draw too much attention to the building and site. Therefore, it's important that local residents report immediately anything they consider to be suspicious to the Council (01323 443342)
or to the Police (0845 6070 999).

The Council will shortly be considering the method of the 'disposal' and re-use of the site.'
