We've had a fun-packed day

Attractions on Wednesday included a funfair, bouncy castles, a barbecue and various stalls.

The day was organised by the De Montfort Improvement Group which works with Lewes District Council to improve the quality of life of residents on the estate.

The day started with the official opening of the new De Montfort community flat by Terry Parris, chairman of Lewes Football Club.

The flat takes the place of a dilapidated mobile building on the estate.

The new flat is on the ground floor of Heron Court.

Cllr Michael Chartier, council lead member for housing, said: 'We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the success of this project.

'The new centre will cater for the needs of different age groups and provide a much-valued facility for a wide range of community functions, from mothers and toddlers, after school and breakfast clubs, to computer and keep-fit classes and bingo and cooking sessions.

'Regular housing and police surgeries will also be held there.'
