This website represents one of the ways in which Lewes Matters is trying to raise awareness and debate amongst fellow townspeople about the plans shortly to be submitted by Angel Property to Lewes District Council. Lewes Matters will continue to collect and share as much information as it can find out about the proposal and its background. Please browse the site and give us feedback via your comments, the Discussion Forum and our Online Questionnaire.
Lewes Matters exists so that the people of Lewes can tell those who are responsible for shaping our town’s future exactly what they think. And now, in the weeks immediately before Angel Property submits it far-reaching plan for Lewes’ Phoenix industrial estate, we bring you the results of our survey.
