What we cover
Start with Eastbourne News for standalone reporting on significant local developments, or Eastbourne Live for current updates and upcoming events. The interactive map links public locations to those same readable, source-linked updates. Our news focus is Eastbourne Borough; nearby places are included when a story has a clear impact on Eastbourne.
Eastbourne is a town with far more to it than the postcard view. It was built as a planned Victorian resort, it sits beneath the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain, and it has a history that runs from Bronze Age settlers on the marshes to the world’s first municipal motor bus service. We cover all of it.
You will find detailed guides to the town’s history and heritage, its walks and natural landscape, the best things to do, practical local information, and honest guides for anyone thinking of moving to the area.
How we work
Every article here is researched before it is written. Dates, names and figures are checked against reliable sources, and where something is uncertain or disputed we say so rather than papering over it. Where a claim is a matter of local legend rather than established fact, we make that clear too.
We also try to be genuinely useful rather than merely enthusiastic. That means honest guides — including the drawbacks as well as the attractions — and practical detail you can actually act on. If you spot something that has changed, closed, or simply isn’t right, we would rather hear about it and fix it.
Editor and independence
Eastbourne.info is edited by Daniel and researched from a local perspective rather than assembled from a distance. Our local-news work follows the editorial policy, with a clear route to contact us or request a correction. The site is not run by the council, a tourist board or a marketing agency, and it isn’t tied to any local business. That independence is the whole point: it means we can tell you when something is worth your time and when it isn’t.
Good to know: Read our disclosure about AI-assisted research and automated live checks. Eastbourne Live is not an official emergency feed or a continuously monitored service. If there’s a corner of Eastbourne you’d like to see covered, contact the editorial team — reader suggestions genuinely shape what gets written next.
