It is regrettable and worrying to see the closure of Newlands School at Seaford as it seems a last minute decision.

The closure will mean that the Model Railway Show, which members of the Newhaven and District Model Railway Club have held at the school for several years will relocate to Heron Park Academy at Hampden Park, Eastbourne.

The show will be held over the weekend October 25-26.

We hope that staff, pupils and the other community groups who have been using Newlands will be able to move on satisfactorily following this difficult period.
