BEAT THE STREET: Thousands of people are expected to take to the streets across East Sussex in the coming weeks as the entire county is transformed into a giant walking and cycling game. Running from Wednesday June 7 to Wednesday July 26, Beat the Street, a free initiative that aims to get people moving and improve their health, will be installing a number of Beat Boxes in Hailsham, from which people can earn points and win prizes by tapping special cards onto lamppost-mounted sensors. The Beat Boxes, which will be installed in Hailsham and across East Sussex, will be activated on June 7 for a seven-week period. Participants will be required to collect a card from Hailsham Library or keep an eye on their website to find out when they will be available from Freedom Leisure Centre. The cards, which they tap onto the Beat Boxes as they walk or cycle around town, earn points for themselves and their team. People can register to play and view their progress online at www. beatthestreet.me/eastsussex.
