Update on the Beachy Head infrastructure project

23.1     The Committee welcomed a report by the Acting Director of Public Health which provided an update on how the recommendations of the Beachy Head infrastructure report have been taken forward to date, including involvement of partners especially the Beachy Head Chaplaincy Team. 

23.2     The Committee discussed: the Virtual Fence and what it consisted of; long term funding for the street triage pilot; the need to consider all users of the area and trying not to act to the detriment of the character of a national landmark; dog walker training; the follow up to a successful interception.

23.3     The Director of Adult Social Care and Health set out: that the County Council is engaged with partners from Eastbourne Borough Council, Sussex Police, Natural England and the National Park Authority; the need to ascertain what is viable and what will be effective; the capacity of other agencies to respond to increased alerts and the potential need to commission services.

23.4     RESOLVED to note the report and the measured approach being taken, and to request a further update at a future meeting.
