Seaford Town Council, Lewes District Council and Sussex Police are close to forming a partnership to share the building in Church Street.
The two councils and the police have been working for nearly a year, exploring the possibility of developing the police station into a Seaford help point.

There is space available in the premises for the multi-agency set up. The idea is to serve as many of the townspeople's needs as possible from one location.
Last year, the district council confirmed that the TIC would remain in Seaford when the lease ran out at Clinton Place.
The Seaford office of the Lewes and Seaford CAB are working at full capacity with very limited office space. The town council is an ever-expanding organisation which will shortly need more space.
