In a series of unfolding events in Lewes, the traditional Boxing Day Wheelbarrow Run, a key fundraising event for the local Foodbank, has been cancelled amidst growing concerns over public safety. This decision comes in the wake of the Lewes District Council’s refusal to grant a road closure for the Southdown & Eridge Hunt, which had applied for closure along High Street Lewes, from Fisher Street to Nevill Road, on December 26th.
Instead, the Council approved a road closure for the Action Against Foxhunting’s Community Foodbank Fundraiser, scheduled to take place between 11am and 12pm on the same day. This decision has significantly impacted the plans for the Wheelbarrow Run.
