09/12/2019 - Contract Award for Roundabout Sponsorship & Maintenance ref: 1124    Recommendations Approved

East Sussex County Council currently has a number of roundabouts for which the Highways department is responsible for maintaining and ensuring they meet their purpose and manage traffic safely and efficiently. In recent years the Highways Department has, as elsewhere within the Council, been met with increased cost and demand, and increasing budget pressures. Responding to these challenges the Council has looked at alternative ways of maintaining these assets and reducing the cost pressure on the Council so that resources can be diverted elsewhere. Roundabout Sponsorship provides businesses with a very unique, environmentally enhancing and cost-effective way of promoting their business to tens of thousands of prospective customers – all day, every day. The scheme is designed to be cost neutral or to provide basic income to ESCC, and it is about providing extra enhancement to sites that would otherwise receive basic highways maintenance at lower frequencies

04/12/2019 - Name of decision Contract Award for Robertsbridge Community College SEN & ASD Unit ref: 1122    Recommendations Approved

East Sussex County Council has been taking action to provide sufficient places for the increase in pupils with Special Education Needs (SEN) and particularly the demand for special school places and high cost independent placements. The authority has a strategy of inclusion and is working with partners to encourage more children to be supported in mainstream schools.

The Council has identified, as part of the High Needs Block Funding Review, the need for more specialist facilities at primary and secondary mainstream schools. These facilities will cater for a broad range of lower level SEND needs where pupil’s requirements could be met in a specialist facility that includes appropriate access to mainstream provision.
