HVM facilitated the first meeting of the Community Working Group, a group of critical friends to the Cuckmere Estuary Partnership. This is the first step in the implementation of the recommendations of HVM's engagement report delivered to the Partnership as a result of a community engagement process. The Community Working Group will gather local knowledge and ideas and disseminate those to ensure that community voices are heard in decisions being made about the future of the Cuckmere Estuary, an area of Outstanding Beauty in the South East of England.
