HellinglyHighlights From the Editor’s desk Welcome to this latest edition of the Hellingly Highlights. It is amazing to think that this will be the last edition of 2015, the years go by so fast. The transfer of the Country Park to the Parish Council is getting nearer and hopefully should take place fairly soon. The Council is currently advertising for a part time Groundsman who will carry out minor works in the Park. We told you in the last issue that we would be starting the process of developing a Neighbourhood Plan. Hopefully you will have seen the advertisements for the consultation on the Neighbourhood Plan Area, this is the first stage in the process, and consultation closes on 19 October 2015. The next stage is to set up a Steering Group which we are currently doing, it is hoped that the first meeting of the Steering Group will take place before the end of October. We will also be holding discussion groups so please look out for these and come along to tell us your views. You may well also have seen advertising about

Wealden District Council’s Local Plan - Issues, Options and Recommendations document which has recently be made public. Consultation on this document closes in November, the Parish will be responding to this document. There is currently an Electoral Review taking place in East Sussex, more information on this is available on the Local Government Boundary Commission website. They are currently carrying out consultation which closes on 30 November 2015. A flyer can be found elsewhere in this issue, which provides you with the contact details. The Council has organised Active Play Sessions for the October Half Term holiday details elsewhere in this edition. And finally, over the next few weeks we will be making improvements to our website so please have a look. That’s all until next time, let’s hope the winter is not too bad. Suzanne Collins Editor

Neighbourhood Plan for Hellingly I told you in the last edition of the Hellingly Highlights that the Parish Council would be starting the process of producing a Neighbourhood Plan (NP). The process started with the Parish Council applying to Wealden District Council to define the area to be included in the Plan as the Neighbourhood Area. The view of the Parish Council was that the most appropriate area was the whole of the Parish. On receipt Wealden had to open a consultation on the area. This started on Monday 7 September and runs until Monday 19 October. Full details can be found on both the Parish Council’s and Wealden’s websites. If you agree with the Parish Council it would be helpful if you could inform Wealden using the response form Once the consultation has finished the Portfolio Holder will make a decision on whether the Neighbourhood Area proposed should be agreed. Following this decision we can start work on the production of the NP. As I mentioned last time the Parish Council is setting up a Steering Group (SG) to oversee the production of the NP. The SG will be made up predominantly of residents who have expressed an interest in being involved together with 2 Parish Councillors, and it is hoped that the first meeting of the SG will take place before the end of October.

In addition to the SG, we will be holding discussion groups so do please look out for details of dates and venues. It is important that we have as much input from the public as possible. The NP is about shaping the area in which you live so help us to make it relevant for the whole community. Please keep an eye on our website as all the information will be available there.

From your MP It’s now been over a hundred days since you elected me as your MP - it’s been frantic, exciting and humbling all at the same time!

allowed to take her place on the frontline alongside her male colleagues. This is a discussion we need to have further in the UK.

I’m writing this column to provide a brief update on what I’ve been doing, and to provide my contact details if you ever want to get hold of me. I’m here to help, so if there are any questions you want to ask, or any issues you want to raise, please just drop me a line at nusrat.ghani.mp@parliament.uk It doesn’t matter whether you voted for me or not, however trivial you feel the issue may be – it’s my duty to try and help everyone who asks.

Since returning home, it’s been wonderful to celebrate some of the good things happening in Wealden. I was privileged to give the keynote speech at an event celebrating the You’re Hired East Sussex Campaign which, initiated by East Sussex County Council, has seen 699 apprenticeships created at 699 local businesses in just 5 months! This is a truly remarkable achievement, as apprenticeships are so important in helping many young people to gain opportunities and skills. Indeed, we’ve all been apprentices at some time in our lives – and it was probably the time when we learnt the most!

As an MP, one of my primary duties is to those incredible men and women of our Armed Forces who are prepared to sacrifice their lives to keep the rest of us safe. That is why I joined the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme – to learn more about our Armed Forces, and become a better advocate for them in Parliament. The British Army has training bases all over the world, to prepare our troops for operational tours, one of which is located in Canada, near Calgary. I was honoured, and humbled, to be there for a few days recently as part of my work for the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme. I spent time listening to, and learning from, soldiers who have had multiple operational tours of Iraq and Afghanistan, and discussed the physical and emotional aftermath of working in conflict zones. I also met women at all levels of service, and was pleased both the men and women I spoke to agreed that, if a woman is physically able, she should be

It’s also been my great pleasure to welcome pupils to Parliament from two local schools; Beacon Community College and Bede’s Senior School. Answering their enthusiastic and intelligent questions confirmed my faith in Wealden’s incredibly talented young people, who can go on to achieve so much in the world. I know first-hand just how valuable the opportunity afforded by a good education can be, and I am determined to visit every school in Wealden and talk with teachers and parents, so I can play my part in supporting the work that they do. Let’s all work together to broaden the horizons of our young people, and encourage them to fulfil their dreams. Yours, Nus

The porta cabins are now being removed and construction on the new pavilion should start in October so that it is ready for next season. The area for the allotments has been cleared and is now ready to be laid out. The ragwort has been pulled from the environmental area, but there are many rosettes coming through for next year, so this will be an ongoing problem.

Progress has at last been made in the Park. Now most of it is open it is being enjoyed by many people. The hatchings of geese and ducks have provided a lot of interest this summer.

We believe the 44 flats will be finished by April next year when the land for the new Community Hall will be handed over to the Parish Council. At the moment the title for the Park has still not be handed to the PC. However, the developer appears to be undertaking outstanding jobs, so maybe it is not too far away.

The Cricket Club has had a good first season in spite of the temporary pavilion arrangements.

At the church we are aware that what we do can affect generations which is why we recognise the need for somewhere to bury loved one’s ashes and will be exploring an area of our churchyard for that purpose. So we shall pursue the three C’s of Communication, Consultation and Collaboration. It was a long-time resident near the church who reminded me of this recently. Let’s hope that all those in positions of authority follow the same guidelines!

What is clear is that even if the numbers are severely cut the nature of where we live is going to be transformed completely from what is now and what it has been for centuries. Now is the time for our voices to be heard and for people to be involved in shaping the way that our communities develop. The cries for ‘no change’ are unlikely to be recognised so it is important that we all engage with the issues and help shape a community which has all that quality of life we should expect, if not for us then our children or our children’s children.

The big news of the moment is the Wealden District Council Plan with the prospect of Hailsham doubling in size over the next few years. This presents all of us with a phenomenal challenge. There will be lots of opposition and even while the ink is hardly dry on the Plan already opposition is mounting.

Hellingly Centre Work has been in progress in further modernising the Hellingly Centre over the last year. This development will enhance the current facility and has been in the pipeline since the completion and opening of The Hellingly Centre in 2012. We are excited to announce that the first phase of this programme is due to be completed this month. Completion will be marked with a live exercise involving emergency services in November. This will include Police, Fire and Ambulance Services. The aim of the live event will be to put into practice current emergency planning procedures and to establish good practice based on lessons that will be identified during the exercise in managing and maintaining risk and maintaining safety. There will also be an opportunity for members of the residents committee to come and have a look around and give feedback to other residents. Your on-going support and patience will be appreciated.

“Staff skilfully promote children’s independence and confidence.”

In spite of very heavy rainfall during the summer we have had no reports of houses flooding or serious problems with the roads. There is an ongoing problem in Park Road and the new New Road as the system is not functioning properly. ESCC Highways are very aware of this. The Environment Agency has finished desilting the Horsebridge Stream, which will help alleviate potential flooding in the future.

“Staff help the children learn good manners, how to get along with each other and discuss and encourage empathy, as a result, children’s behaviour is exemplary” As quoted by OFSTED 19th May 2015

Because every life is unique

SE Water is very concerned about the levels of Metaldehyde in the Cuckmere. This is the chemical used in slug pellets and is very costly to remove before water is fit to drink. They are innovating a scheme to help pay for a more environmentally friendly and costly product. A new Internal Drainage Board, is being formed for the Cuckmere, Pevensey Levels and Rother. It will have 7 agency members 8 landowner representatives, of which one will be from the Upper Cuckmere. This will be known as the Pevensey Levels and Cuckmere Water Management Board, and should be fully operational in April 16. Gill Hesselgrave Clerk

Hellingly Scout Group Hellingly Scout Group is based at Crouch Hall, Lower Horsebridge. We have five active sections, two Beaver Colonies for 6 to 8s, two Cub Packs for 8 to 10½ and our Scout Section for 10½ to14 year olds. In addition to these, we host an Explorer Unit which is a District supported venture for 14 to 18 year olds. All sections accept both boys and girls. We are going from strength to strength with all sections flourishing well and at present the group is hosting 135 young people week in week out.

Our beaver sections have been busy enjoying fun and games, earning lots of badges as well as sleepovers in our hall and a weekend camp with the scouts. A crowning moment this year was the high number of our Beavers achieving their Chief Scout Bronze Award, the highest award available to them.

Chief Scout Awards 2015

The whole group had a fundraising event in May this year Jamboree on the trail was held by all sections with a hike starting off from Heathfield and we utilised the Cuckoo Trail with a detour to Abbotts Wood and back to Crouch Hall. Family members were invited to participate which they did in many numbers.

The Cub Sections have been just as active with their badge works and camps. One of our packs spent the weekend at Hindleap Warren activity centre, where they got to experience lots of new activities from abseiling to canoeing. Despite the weather literally trying to wash out the weekend, great fun was had. Both packs are now fully focusing on their centenary year next year with lots of events planned and a four day camp with all the Sussex county cub packs at the South of England Show Ground in the summer.

Cubs Summer Camp 2015

The Scout section has been away on a summer survival camp at a local site. 20 boys and girls had great fun creating dens and learning how to gut fish for their dinner. They are now fundraising for a Jamboree being held in Essex next year with scouts coming from all over Europe.

Eating regularly helps keep energy levels up during winter. f Wear several light layers of warm clothes (rather than one chunky layer). f Keep as active in your home as possible. f Wrap up warm and wear shoes with a good grip if you need to go outside on cold days. f If you have reduced mobility, are 65 or over, or have a health condition such as heart or lung disease, you should heat your home to at least 18C. It’s a good idea to keep your bedroom at this temperature all night if you can and make sure you wear enough clothes to stay warm. During the day, you may prefer your living room to be slightly warmer f If you’re under 65 and healthy and active, you can safely have your house cooler than 18C, if you’re comfortable.

Protect your health in the cold Public Health England’s cold weather plan has tips on how to protect your health during cold weather. Make sure you are receiving any benefits you are entitled to, such as the Winter Fuel Payment and Cold Weather Payment The Met Office has advice on getting ready for winter and some suggestions for practical things you can do to prepare for winter weather, including cold, ice and snow, high winds and flooding. The advice also tells you ways you can save money.

Travel carefully in icy weather f Icy pavements and roads can be extremely slippery. Take extra care if you go out, and wear boots or shoes with good grip on the soles. f The Met Office advises putting grit or cat litter on paths and driveways to lessen the risk of slipping. f It adds you should wait until the roads have been gritted if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re travelling by car. f Bear in mind that black ice on pavements or roads might not be clearly visible, and compacted snow may turn to ice and become slippery.

How to find weather warnings f The Met Office provides the weather forecasts for broadcasts on radio and TV, so listen in to these bulletins regularly to keep up-to-date with the weather. f Severe weather warnings are also issued on the Met Office website, through the Met Office Twitter feed, or you can ring the Weather Desk on 0870 900 0100.

Look in on vulnerable neighbours and relatives Check up on friends, relatives and neighbours who may be more vulnerable to cold weather. Cold weather is especially dangerous for older people or people with serious illnesses, so check in on them if you can.

Read about how to spot and treat hypothermia People with heart or respiratory (breathing) problems may have worse symptoms during a cold spell and for several days (up to four weeks) after temperatures return to normal.

Hailsham to Double in Size? Wealden District Council has now begun the process of reviewing the Local Plan which was adopted in February 2013 and was intended to cover development in the district for the period to 2027. On 25 September Wealden Council approved, for publication an “Issues Options and Recommendations” paper setting out its proposals upon which we will be consulted during a six week period starting on 19 October. The revised plan will now cover the period to 2037 and according to the Objectively Assessed Housing Need figures given to Wealden by Government and intended to cover inward migration, household formation, births and deaths, Wealden is now expected to make provision for a further 14700 new dwellings across the district. This is in addition to those already built and those such as the 700 new homes on land east and west of Park Road Hellingly for which consent has already been given. When faced with the problem, in 2005, of providing for the number of houses set out in the South East Regional Plan Wealden’s answer was to locate the majority of these in large urban extensions at Hailsham, Uckfield, Polegate and Stone Cross. This resulted in an increase of some 3000 new homes for Hailsham, 1100 of which are

in Hellingly at Roebuck Park and Park Road. Through the Issues Options and Recommendations paper, Wealden intends to test for locating a further 9380 new houses out of the District total of 14700, in Hailsham. This will amount to an increase of 97% above the number of houses as at this September. As before, the preferred areas of search for new land are to be North Hailsham (the area we know as Hellingly!) and the south and south west parts of the town. Work previously undertaken on the availability of sites indicates that it will not be possible to find sufficient space for all of the new properties in those areas alone. The suggestion is therefore for some 5380 of the proposed new dwellings to be located as an urban extension to Hailsham on land on the west side of the town (presently Arlington Parish) with the rerouting of the A22 further to the west and the downgrading of the existing road. Little assessment is made of the impact on the town centre of a doubling of the town’s size but it is proposed to extend the town centre shopping area to take in Ropemaker Park and the eastern end of the Diplocks Industrial Estate. The suggestion is that there is scope for remodelling the town centre utilizing the existing surface car parks around Vicarage Lane whilst acknowledging that the loss of parking may be an issue and that the additional pressure on the highways

infrastructure would need to be fully addressed. Hailsham is already the largest inland town in East Sussex. Larger than Crowborough, Battle, Lewes or Uckfield and yet arguably with the poorest infrastructure. Unlike Crowborough, Battle, Lewes or Uckfield it has no railway station, no community hospital or significant health centre, overstretched schools, a disproportionately low number of health practitioners, and in comparison to other East Sussex inland towns, a poorly shopped town centre. Therefore to suggest a doubling of the town at a time when it has not even been allowed to catch up with the insufficiency in the infrastructure identified in the Wealden Plans produced since 2005, seems a little bizarre - to even contemplate the re routing of a major dual carriageway, a little fanciful given the costs involved – and to plan for a population in excess of 40,000 without first providing decent town centre shopping, adequate schools and health facilities, sufficient local employment space and opportunities, and a vastly improved road and transport infrastructure, unacceptable. There must be a better way of delivering the growth required of the District yet we will only have a short period of time in which to make known our views. We will be consulted during the six week period starting on 19 October and the Parish Council urges everyone concerned about the future of the area to get involved. There will be exhibitions and meetings. You will be able to put your opinions. Please do so. In addition the Parish Council is trying to arrange a public meeting in the Parish before the end of the consultation period so that we can be aware of your views when we make our own submission.

With over sixty members, the Club has a very busy programme of events to fit in by the end of the season - League and friendly matches, together with internal Club competitions and social events. However, with good company, cups of tea or a drink from the bar, everything gets done! We are a very friendly Club and will enjoy the company of anyone of any age interested in having a try.

Making a difference Wealden Citizens Advice is an independent charity, providing free, confidential and impartial advice. Last year we helped over 4,000 people with nearly 21,000 issues. We helped clients obtain a staggering £2.4m in improved financial outcomes, including £1.9m in unclaimed welfare benefits and tax credits - much of this additional income will be spent locally. We also assisted well over 100 people at risk of losing their home. In the first quarter of 2015/16 we have already helped 10% more people than we did last year. We could not provide our service without our dedicated volunteer team, based in our bureaux in Crowborough, Uckfield and Hailsham. We also have 9 locations around Wealden where people can use our online information system or skype us for advice if they don’t have internet access at home. If you can’t drop into our bureaux and need our help you can contact us by:

If you have thought about volunteering and want to make a difference then we might have just the job for you! We are always looking for volunteers. If you have a day a week, and want to be part of a team providing a much needed service to your community then get in touch with Samantha Weatherill on 01825 762807 or email: administrator@uckfieldcab.cabnet.org.uk. Full training is provided, although it helps if you are used to researching issues using the internet. We are not just looking for advisers – you could also help with office administration, campaigns, fundraising or promotion. We are particularly interested in developing our contacts with parishes across Wealden so we can ensure our service meets the needs of local communities, so if any ideas just give us a call.

Residents’ Association of Roebuck Park As a Committee Member of the RARP, it is extremely satisfying to be complemented by other Roebuck Park residents and thanked for the work being done by the RARP to better the environment in which we are fortunate enough to live. The fact is, however, that a great deal of the work done by members of the RA’s Committee cannot be publicised as it is highly confidential, particularly meetings that take place on a very regular basis between designated members and, for example, the Police. The Committee rely extensively on residents themselves (YOU!) to follow the tried and tested procedures to resolve problems affecting them directly with the Management Company, the Parish Council and, in particular, the Police, and then, when relevant, keeping the RA fully briefed on the action they have taken. If the matter is not resolved, the RA may be able to assist you to bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion, but you must have first taken action to resolve the issue. It is very disturbing when anti-social behaviour, for example, is simply accepted as being ‘the

norm’ that no individual can do anything about. Anti-social behaviour is exactly that: anti-social! If you see someone throwing a dustbin over, or swearing in public, or not picking up their dog’s ‘poo’, etc; that is anti-social behaviour. You do not have to confront the individual concerned if you feel intimidated, and if you do and you get an unacceptable response, DO NOT accept that person’s behaviour. As soon as you possibly can, PLEASE phone 101 and make a report on the incident. If you feel the slightest bit intimidated making a phone call simply go to 101@sussex.pnn. police.uk and make your report on line. If you cannot identify the person/people involved, simply give a description of them – you may be surprised how often the Police can correctly identify the perpetrators as this type of person rarely commits anti-social acts on a one-off basis and is almost certainly already known to them. When you have made your report, please give the Incident Number and brief details to the RA to follow up. NB: The RA cannot report incidents on your behalf: as the one involved, you must report the incident.

In the couple of years since this system has been in operation, incidences of Anti-social behaviour in the area have dropped dramatically and, to date, virtually every reported incident has had the culprits’ correctly identified. You may feel that being sworn at is such a small incident that it is not worth reporting, but the reality is that the person who swore at you will probably have done something equally unsavoury to others. If all instances are reported a pattern of behaviour is quickly built up by the Police and other authorities and action can be taken. Be a good citizen and report EVERY incident of anti-social behaviour you see. The whole community will ultimately benefit from your action. Thanks to the many years of hard work by The Parks Trust and the Hellingly Parish Council, the Hellingly Country Park is starting to show what a terrific asset it already is and its potential as the work is concluded by the developers over the next few months. The Pavilion should be under construction as this is published and be ready well in time for next season. The allotments are being prepared.

The pond area is now complete apart from a bit of snagging that needs to be done. The Hellingly Parish Council is reaching the point when it will take over responsibility for the maintenance of the Park and a Groundsman will shortly be sought to look after it on a day-to-day basis. Sometime next year the new Community Centre will get under way and should be a fantastic asset for the community as a whole. Let us all ensure that the Community Park is treated with care and respect and enjoy its facilities to the full as each part of it gets handed over to the Parish Council. With over half the householders in Roebuck Park now members of the RARP it is clear that the Committee must be doing something right. If you are not yet a member, ACT NOW!
