Chaos and crime have taken over the doorstep of Eastbourne Railway Station. A homeless encampment outside the main transport hub has sparked alarm over rampant drug use and shocking antisocial behaviour, leaving locals demanding urgent action.
“Grim Welcome” for Commuters
Passers-by report a depressing scene at the station entrance. Beds are strewn with half-used pills and discarded needles, painting a grim picture for visitors. One observer described it as a “grim welcome” to the town.
Safety Fears as Harassment and Lewd Acts Reported
Commuters say they’ve faced harassment entering and leaving the station. Worse still, two people were allegedly caught having sex inside station toilets and had to be dragged out by security.
Authorities have been contacted for comment.
