ESFRS Community Safety Partnership Grant 2008 ~ 2009
East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service is delighted to be able to invite applications to the Community Safety Partnership Grant.
The grant is a new scheme that is being trialled by the Service as means of encouraging activity by voluntary organisations that supports our community safety objectives.
Community Safety Objectives:
a) Reducing Fires & the extent of fires in properties and the number of people killed or injured in them.
b) Reducing the number of anti-social deliberate fires.
c) Reducing the number of road traffic collisions and the number of people killed or injured in them.
d) Reducing the number of malicious calls for fire & rescue services.
e) Contributing to the reduction of fire-related crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour.
The Service invites applications for one-off grants that are within the range of £1,000 to £2,000. The scheme will be evaluated and subject to success consideration will be given to operating the scheme in future years.
The closing date for receipt of applications at East Sussex Fire & Rescue Headquarters, 20 Upperton Road, Eastbourne, BN21 1EU will be 4:00pm Friday 26th September 2008. Late or incomplete applications will not be eligible for consideration. All the information can be accessed on our website www.esfrs.org by clicking the link on the 'home page'.

Download a short analysis of the 2007 Indices of Multiple deprivation for Rother.
The data shows that there is an overall decrease in Rother's overall IMD Ranking. This may suggest an increase in deprivation in Rother and/or Rother slipping behind other areas in economic growth and social investment. This is particularly noticeable in large parts of Bexhill and Eastern Rother (Rye).
