The sun is shining and Sussex Police are receiving complaints about incidents of a sexual nature taking place at Dukes Mound during daylight hours.

It is one thing enjoying the benefits of Dukes Mound at night it is another matter during the day when families and children are around and enjoying their holidays.

Sussex Police LGBT police liaison officer PC Rich Bridger, said: “Please remember that Dukes Mound is a public place like any other. In response to reports of sexual activity taking place during the daytime, patrols in the area are going to be extended and anyone found committing offences is likely to face arrest and possible prosecution. I would urge people who use the area to do so responsibly and with consideration for others.”
