A new outdoor facility is making a difference in the community.
Councillors recently visited Peacehaven’s pump track at Centenary Park to see how the space is encouraging people of all ages to get active and enjoy the outdoors.
Councillor Johnny Denis, cabinet member for arts and culture, tourism and leisure at Lewes District Council, said: "It is fantastic to see this new facility bringing so much enjoyment to local people.
"The pump track gives children, young people and families another great reason to get outdoors, be active, build confidence and learn new skills."
Completed this summer, the track was funded by Lewes District Council and is owned and managed by Peacehaven Town Council.

The design process included public input gathered during a January engagement event at The Joff Youth Hub.
Cllr Denis said: "Importantly, residents helped shape the track through the consultation at The Joff, so this is a facility that reflects what the community told us it wanted."
Designed by On Track, the pump track is suitable for BMX bikes, scooters and skateboards.
The company also donated two bikes to The Joff Youth Hub to help more young people use the facility.
Following a hot and dry summer, surrounding areas have been reseeded to improve grass cover.
