There is a Committee that represents the RHS before official bodies and often organises RHS activities, which anyone can volunteer for. You can read more about the RHS Committee in the quarterly printed newsletter that every RHS member receives: The Round Hill Reporter.

Updating Round Hill's conservation character statement

Brighton and Hove City Council to start Food Waste Collections

By the end of March 2026, all Councils are required to have weekly food waste recycling services to conform with the Environment Act of 2021. Brighton and Hove City Council plans to start food waste collections in 2025. Residents living in the north of Round Hill, who experience odour nuisance from Hollingdean Waste Transfer Station, hope that the food waste will be taken directy to an Anaerobic Digester well away from their homes for composting and not to The Waste Transfer Station which has no entrance airlock system. Odour also escapes through the vents designed to let air into the building.
