Rother District Council is aware of ongoing inaccurate and misleading comments circulating online about the Colonnade in Bexhill.

Let’s set the record straight:

• Claims questioning the Council’s transparency are untrue and unhelpful.
• Colonnade traders have been kept informed, and updates have been shared regularly via our website, media statements, and social media.
• A recent change in an existing tenant’s intentions means the Council has to revise its marketing approach 
• Former tenants that are affected have been contacted directly.

We remain committed to making the Colonnade a vibrant destination for residents and visitors alike. 

Stay tuned for further updates across our official channels.
