> As we write, the Combe Haven valley is busy with engineers,  
> surveyors, ecologists and archeologists.  They're mapping,  
> measuring, blocking up badger setts, digging trenches, and doing  
> everything they can to make sure the preliminary work is finished  
> by early January, and the actual construction can begin.  The time  
> is very short to save the valley from destruction.

> We're moving towards our target of 1066 people signing up to stop  
> the road. If you haven't signed, do so now HERE.  Please ask all  
> your friends and contacts to sign up too.  We've been incredibly  
> busy over the past few weeks, with events including a camp, zombie  
> roads visiting Amber Rudd, street stalls, and many other things.   
> For details of what we and other groups have been up to, see our  
> website HERE. There are a number of events coming up over the next  
> few weeks - see bar on left and keep an eye on our facebook page.
>
> Other groups are also working hard on the campaign: Hastings  
> Alliance has been following developments closely (see HERE), and a  
> new project, Eyes in the Valley (HERE), aims to keep track of  
> what's going on.  A new group the Bexhill Link Roadresistance  
> (BLINKRR) has also formed. See below for more info. Hope to see you

> Family to be evicted for Link Road
>
> A young family in Bexhill are facing eviction to make way for the  
> Link Road.  Kirsty Mears and her sons Daniel (13) and Leo (5) live  
> in a house on London Roadin Bexhill which is due to be demolished.   
> They have lived in their 3-bedroomed house for 3 years but Rother  
> council will only rehouse them in a 2-bedroomed property.  Kirsty  
> says this is unacceptable as her 5 year old son has special needs  
> and requires his own bedroom, and she is adamant that the family  
> will not move until Rother council rehouses them properly.  "I'm  
> not asking for a mansion but I am not leaving the cottage until  
> they find us somewhere suitable. It’s very wrong and very unfair.”   
> More informationHERE.
>
> Please email Anne Fennessy, head of housing at Rother council, to  
> ask that the family be properly rehoused:anne.fennessy at rother.gov.uk
> Bexhill resistance group formed
>
> Blinkrr (Bexhill Link Road Resistance) is a new group working to  
> stop the Link Road.  They say the Combe Haven valley is the true  
> site of the Battle of Hastings, and this potential World Heritage  
> site will be destroyed if the link road goes ahead. Local historian  
> Nick Austin and a team of amateur archaeologists have found various  
> artefacts in Combe HavenValley, including a spear,  a crossbow and  
> helmet rings, which they say prove this was the site of the battle,  
> and are asking for the area to be subject to a proper archeological  
> survey.
