Last night (30 January 2017) my understanding of a medical situation in Beachlands in Pevensey Bay is something I wish to place on public record.
From what the lady said, she had called out an ambulance as her friend was not very well.
The ambulance did not arrive, so she called again and she said the ambulance people eventually arrived to the road block opposite the kiosk on the outskirts of Beachlands. The ambulance could not get through the road block. They parked up and had to run to the address, wasting precious time.
They said the railway line at Normans Bay was closed overnight and with the road block being by the Kiosk, they had to walk or run.
When the road was up before Christmas, similar incidents happened because the Ambulance, Police and Fire Brigade are not informed. The fact that the ambulance had gone round Normans Bay and found the crossing closed, wasted more time.
I would like to place on public record my anger and concern that this has happened twice.
Do the authorities not talk to each other?
