Uckfield Town Council Consultations
Residents’ Survey – Winter 2024
Uckfield Town Council is one of three local authorities delivering services in your local area.
We created a survey back in October/November to find out more about what you as a local resident think about where you live. We were keen to understand:
- What you like;
- What needed improving;
- What you considered to be a priority for you and your family, and;
- How often you used Town Council services
The survey was created on Google Forms, and has now closed. The highlights from the survey were as follows:
Highlights from Residents’ Survey 2024
Thank you to everyone who took part, we really appreciate your time and input!
The feedback received will not only inform our priority setting for 2025, but also inform our conversations with key stakeholders such as the District Council, County Council, partner agencies and developers. It will assist us with our longer term planning and help us understand what you consider important for the town in the future.
Sussex Police & Crime Commissioner
Sussex PCC, Katy Bourne, has launched her annual survey seeking the views of residents across the county. The Safer In Sussex Survey seeks to understand if residents have experienced crime, and looks at what measures would make them feel safer in their communities.
Responses to the survey will help Commissioner Bourne to understand where resources within Sussex Police may be better placed, where increased partnership working could help to drive down local issues, and to scrutinise the force on areas requiring improvement.
The survey will close at 23:00 on 30th October 2025:

Launching the survey, Mrs Bourne said: “As your elected voice within policing, the survey helps me understand your concerns and informs how I can effectively hold our Chief Constable to account for the performance of her force.
“Please take a moment to give me your feedback. You can also opt in to being contacted in the future to have a more detailed say in a focus group run by my office.”
Wealden Draft Local Plan Consultation 2025 – 2040
In February 2024, Wealden District Council announced the publication of its Draft Local Plan.
This superseded the Draft Local Plan that was drawn up in 2019 and subsequently withdrawn in 2020. The new plan intends to offer a plan for how the district will develop between 2025 and 2040.
Between 15 March 2024 and 10 May 2024, Wealden DC ran an eight-week consultation period which would allow for all district residents to have their say on the Regulation 18 Draft Local Plan.
Uckfield Town Council prepared a detailed response to the questions asked within the plan. A copy of the responses are detailed below:
Chapter 3 – Vision and Objectives
Chapter 4 – Spatial Strategy
Chapter 5 – Climate Change
Chapter 6 – Natural Environment
Chapter 7 – Historic Environment
Chapter 8 – Housing
Chapter 9 – Infrastructure
Chapter 10 – Design
