Residents walked the boundaries of their ancient common, passing its many boundary stones and marks, in defence of the land. 'The Race Ground' common was preserved in 1822 for "the inhabitants of Brighton and the public in general" at the time of the enclosure of the rest of Brighton's vast commons. Beating The Bounds is an old tradition to mark those boundaries.

 

DueEast Neighbourhood Council is inviting applications to a Community Wellbeing Fund designed to support local people in Whitehawk, Manor Farm and the Bristol Estate to get together to take action to improve their health and wellbeing.

Origin of the Fund

The health and wellbeing of people in the 3 areas above is on average worse than that of health and wellbeing of people in other areas of Brighton and Hove. So, DueEast has brought residents, patients , community groups and health and wellbeing and other services together in a new long term project to improve health and wellbeing for local people.
