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.
