Dialling code: 01323 (Eastbourne)

Polegate North sits in the northern part of the town of Polegate within the district of Wealden, East Sussex, England. It is a largely suburban and semi‑rural slice of the town, with housing estates giving way to fields and lanes leading towards the South Downs and the low‑lying Pevensey Levels, while good road and rail links provide easy access to Eastbourne and Brighton.

The area reflects Polegate’s growth in the 19th century as a transport hub and today mixes commuter households with local shops, small businesses and some light industrial estates. Community life centres on schools, parks and village halls, and its proximity to the countryside makes it popular with walkers and families, even as local conversations often focus on housing, infrastructure and maintaining green spaces.
