COMMENT

THE ROAD TO RECOVERY

B

y the time you read this issue you may have benefitted from a half price meal courtesy of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, gone to the gym or even been to the cinema. Finally, there is some kind of normailty returning. However, I am sure I’m not the only one to find that its hard to break the routine of ‘Lock Down’ and start going out and about again and forgetting about the last four months. Horsham District Council has been busy introducing a number of initiatives to get people changing their habits to get people from across the District back into the towns and supporting the businesses which so desperately need our custom after months of being shut down. The Council’s new ‘Tea at Two’ (see page 11) campaign is a result of working with local cafes

and restaurants to encourage visitors into town in the afternoons when it is generally quieter. The Council has also waivered the usual fees associated with tables and chairs licensing to help the town’s hospitality sector expand their outdoor seating. There are also new traffic free areas, the extension of daytime traffic restrictions until the evenings and even a new long stay car park in North Street, Horsham in response to demand from residents and commuters. Hopefully this will help us all start going back into town to spend much needed money in all the local businesses and help them get back on their feet after months of being shut down.

HORSHAM DISTRICT COUNCIL

INVITATION FOR TEA AT TWO

R

ecognising that for some people it may still be a little daunting to start getting out and about in our towns and villages, Horsham District Council is working with local cafes and restaurants to launch a new campaign, ‘Tea at Two’, to encourage visitors into our towns in the afternoons when it is generally quieter. The District cafes and restaurants will be offering a range of attractive tea time promotions from two o’clock each day. Commenting on the new Tea at Two initiative Horsham District Council Cabinet Member for the Local Economy Cllr Paul Clarke said: “This is a lovely idea which will help residents and visitors step out with more confidence to enjoy a catch up with friends over tea and coffee in the afternoons when things are a little quieter.

Chair of the Horsham BID Willie Hamilton added: “Tea at Two is a great idea. The time is now right to find our town and village centre community spirit again after the isolation of lockdown. “Shopping is no longer just about going to the shops, it is about socialising and showing support for our communities.” “As well as enjoying Tea at Two, shoppers visiting the town centre in the afternoons will find fewer queues to visit their favourite stores and more space for social distancing across the town,” said Gill Buchanan, Swan Walk Centre Manager. Look out for businesses displaying Tea at Two posters and window stickers. As well as being open with COVID-safe measures in place for dine-in customers, Horsham District cafes are open for takeaways too.

READERS’ LETTERS

RESPONSE TO ROOKWOOD PLAN

D

ear Editor, As a resident of Horsham, for the last 30 years I feel compelled to write to you regarding the above proposal. I find it both outrageous and very sad that HDC seem set on obliterating the green field sites we have around the town. The number of houses already built along the A24 has led to traffic congestion at busy times, the local schools are becoming overcrowded as are all essential amenities. We already have had to endure the new development along the A264 (and it would appear the eyesore that is the incinerator). There is now a proposal for nearly 500 new houses at New House Farm, where is this going to end? This land should be left to nature and let us residents actually have some green land on our doorsteps. I always considered that Horsham would be the Town I remained in but, as soon as possible, I will be looking to leave as the town, which has consistently been voted one of the best places to live in the UK, is being ruined by greedy developers supported by a greedy council. Yours, Ian Bashford ear Editor, I read your comment on Horsham Pages North with interest. I am a golfer and I do play at Rookwood golf course, which is a lovely course. To lose it to more houses will be a sad day. I also reside near the course and I also enjoy going on the river walk which runs alongside the course into the Warnham reserve. Its a beautiful area, not only for walks which I, and no doubt hundreds of residents have enjoyed during the lock down, but for the development of wildlife and nature. Already there is a “pandemic” of the spread of housing infestation along the stretch on the A24, Broadbridge Heath, with plans for more on the bypass north of Robinhood roundabout. With such an inundation of new residents into the town, more leisure facilities like Rookwood are needed not less! I fully support the points in support of retaining

Rookwood as a green space, to provide leisure and recreational opportunities for both the local community and those from further afield. Yours, Nairon Khan ear Editor, I am a friend of Warnham Nature Reserve. It is a wonderful place. It is where you go to be at peace. Where you go to watch birds, butterflies and insects. To wonder at the amazingly beautiful wild flowers in the meadow, the fungi in the woods and note the changing seasons. It is a place for everyone. It is lovingly cared for by dedicated people who welcome us all especially the young with the various events that inform, instruct and educate in a fun way. Since the lock down there have had to be some things put on hold but I notice a lot of young families arriving who had possibly not been before. The new building is taking shape. It will help provide a welcome to even more visitors. In this ever changing world with the worry of climate change this is where you go to put these matters aside. Please help to keep Rookwood Green. Perhaps it could even be enlarged. Yours, Alison Hendra ear Editor, Further to your invitation in the Horsham South Pages for comments on the proposed Rookwood Development I thought I would send you a copy of my submission to HDC (attached) in case it is of interest. I have lived in Horsham for many years and as a child used to drive through it with my mother. I love this town and the amount of development is devastating. I completely agree with regularly building and improving housing stock but not the vast developments that are taking place. For me the golf course and nature reserve are areas that should be forever ring fenced to keep our green space and ensure the town retains its ambience and reputation as a great place to live. I am extremely concerned that the Council has already made a decision and will hide behind Government ‘instructions’. Our own MP sent out a

standard reply to my letter to him advising me to engage with the Council despite my enclosing copies of my letters to them and a copy of the attached. As you can imagine I was far from impressed. Lastly I would just add that the proposal is to put 1000+ houses on an area similar to the Rookwood Park development that has 52. Thank you for your efforts. Yours, Denise Lincoln ear Editor, 1. The proposed Rookwood Green development is another Government stab in the back to prevent us maintaining our beautiful greenfield areas. This development should not have even been suggested, alone proposed, as a serious housing development. It already has a significant purpose. 2. The North Horsham Development by L&G and Horizon huge school/housing/industrial area complex was bad enough. I spoke against it as

totally out of place and an unnecessary development. 3. And the Fairfax South Roffey development. Well, what do I say? Yet another money spinner for developers and no consideration to long term loss of more greenfield sites. Not only that the company Fairfax Developers even had the sheer audacity to name the area as Faygate instead of South Roffey. The area is clearly next to South Roffey. One should remember Horsham is a small town. All these developments will cause utter chaos for years to come on the roads and associated disturbances. change its character for ever and turn it into a large town. Our local services and all the statutory authorities, water, electricity, sewerage, gas and telecom cannot possibly agree they can manage with all these huge developments. Yours, James Dale Please write with any letters to editor@carnahpublications.com

ENTERPRISE PARK PARTNERS SOUGHT

An illustration of how a retail and community hub area on the enterprise park could look.

A

highly skilled and experienced development partner is being sought to help make the county council’s vision for Horsham Enterprise Park a reality. The partner will work side-by-side with the council to successfully deliver the high quality, mixed use, commercial and residential development on the Parsonage Road site.

14

SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2020

An illustrative 3D masterplan of how the completed development might look.

The county council purchased the site, formerly owned by Novartis Pharmaceuticals, in December 2016. The key driver for the council’s investment in buying the site was to sustain and build on its longestablished position as a major centre for high-value employment in Horsham town, as a key contributor to the local, county and sub-regional economy. The main features of the outline Horsham Enterprise Park development are: • 25,000 square metres of employment space - such as offices and research and development uses – on two-thirds of the site, including a new enterprise hub or collaborative workspace for micro and small businesses • Up to 300 new homes on one-third of the site in a range of sizes, types and tenures, including provision of 35 per cent affordable housing • Community facilities for shopping and other services Paul Marshall, Leader of West Sussex County Council, said: “This is an exceptional opportunity to join with the council in making our vision for one of the most exciting development sites in the county a reality. “The successful bidder will have the chance to deliver an exemplar scheme in an excellent location, which is in the heart of the Gatwick Diamond.” Prospective delivery partners who want to know more are asked to contact Alex McKinlay at Savills: alex.mckinlay@savills.com

ello everyone - this edition is

being written by me, Tim Fifield - Mandy’s husband.

Mandy sends her love but as I write she, along with the Studio2 team, is diligently working through a substantial backlog of appointments missed due to Covid-19. It’s a big list, so understandably she’s a “bit” tied up!!! One may be under the misapprehension that if a hairdressing salon has to close for more than three months the owner may take a little “me time” - maybe catch up on a boxed set or two, or indulge in a little novel reading. I can report however that I’ve never seen my wife work so hard. Supporting the needs of a large team and thousands of guests is a big task which does not stop when hairdryers stop blowing. Here are the ways that Mandy supported her business and the community it serves in the run up to when we reopened on July 4th. ● Diligently following the government announcements and guidelines ● Following and supporting the hair industry through webinars and daily briefings ● Sourcing, ordering and installing PPE and signage ● Rebooking guests ● Creating revised team rotas ● Writing safety policies ● Communicating via social media They say that what defines a business is not what happens day to day but how it reacts in adversity and I am so proud of what Mandy and her team have achieved to ensure their safety and the well-being of you, our guests, in this brave new world of hair. You can book appointments by visiting our website www.studio2horsham.co.uk or calling 01403 255555.

THE JOY OF SUSSEX This new series of articles is written by Kevin Newman, a Sussex-born author, historian, tour guide around the county and history teacher.

F

or those who missed this year’s postponed Olympics we try to compensate with look back at competitions, games and challenges from Sussex’s past. Geographically, the coastal heart of Sussex is Brighton’s Old Steine, which hopefully soon again will be a much nicer area than the busy grassy traffic island it currently is. It is hard to believe today, but it was once “an arena for curious contests.” The Edwardian writer on Sussex, E.V. Lucas tells of how “officers and gentlemen, ridden by other officers and gentlemen competed in races with octogenarians. Strapping young women were induced to run against each other for a new smock or hat.” He continues: “Every kind of race was devised, even to walking backwards; while a tame stag was occasionally liberated and hunted to refuge.” Apart from the animal cruelty, how much fun would it be to have a ‘Brighton Alternative Olympics’ in this vein once more in the Steine – West versus East Sussex! Sticking with Brighton, the city may be very anticar today, but its early days saw it make and race cars, with Madeira Drive once the home of speedtrials. Brighton’s most famous car race today is where it hosts the finish line for a plethora of veteran cars making their way down from London. It occurs every November to celebrate the lifting of the Locomotive Act of 1865, otherwise known as the Red Flag Act. The first ever race of cars from London to Brighton subsequently started in 1896, called the ‘Emancipation Run’ to celebrate the repeal of the law, which had limited drivers to 4mph, curbed the development of the British car industry and insisted that any self-propelled vehicle had a man walk ahead of it waving a red flag. The event originally finished not on Madeira Drive, as it does today, but outside the Metropole. Later the race became known as the Veteran Car Run, with the emphasis being that the earliest vehicles only (veteran cars) could take part

and features in the 1953 film Genevieve from 1953. The Old Ship hotel in Brighton is where the meeting took place that created the Veteran Car Run, but it is also where another great race was created, this time a nautical one. Every year Brighton hosts an amazing annual yacht race every year from Brighton to France with historical inspiration. The Royal Escape Race started back in 1976, when Linda Morgan, the PR Officer for Brighton’s Old Ship Hotel called the Sussex Yacht Club with the idea for a race across the Channel. Linda was apparently very passionate about the idea and wanted to see every yacht in Sussex on the starting line. She took some calming down to recognise that with the limited facilities then available perhaps it should be scaled down a bit to just include SYC yachts, but the event has since grown and takes place every year in May. The Old Ship was still heavily involved back by the 1990s and used to fire the starting cannon for the race from its rooftop. The race gets its name from the journey Charles II made when escaping from Oliver Cromwell’s forces during the Civil War. We may not have had the Olympics this year, but at least cricket is back on in Sussex once more. Our wonderful County Cricket Ground has been at its present site in Eaton Road, Hove since 1872, before which the site was a barley field. Before then, the club was Brighton-based at Park Crescent and the

Level (pictured above) and also briefly at the Royal Brunswick Cricket Ground. In its time the ground has overcome many adversities, the most unusual of which was an invasion by sheep in the first county match. Early on, the pitch was only enclosed by a concrete boundary, and surrounded by young trees planted nearby. The sheep from a nearby field took a fancy to these trees and decided to invade the pitch for a nibble. Following this session of sheep scoffing they were never replanted. The ground has also

It’s hallowed pitch further survived stomping by Army boots when it became the HQ for the Cyclist battalion of the Royal Sussex Regiment in WWI (as also did the ice rink that then existed next door). One corner of the ground was even used as a rifle range. In the next war, it was bombed twice, the first time in September 1940, causing four bomb craters and three soldiers to sadly lose their lives during the attempt to diffuse the fifth, unexploded bomb. In 1942, during the second raid, the players dived for cover as a small bomb fell by the score box. The ground has even survived sheep dog trials in October 1933, prompting the wonderful old joke that thankfully, none of the dogs were found to be guilty.

the sugar soak up the water. Cook over a medium heat until it turns golden and fudgy. Try not to stir the sugar until it’s mostly liquid as it might recrystalise. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, and a pinch of salt. Carefully arrange the apples in the pan, round-side down. Be careful as the caramel stays hot for a long time! Place it back on the heat and cook gently for 5 minutes. Then remove and allow to cool completely.

ost people are aware of chocolate’s toxicity these days, but grapes / raisins

and and some chewing gums can also be toxic to animals.. The toxic ingredient in chocolate is theobromine, (a caffeine-like substance), resulting in excessive stimulation of the body, especially the brain and heart. The concentration of theobromine is highest in dark chocolate. The reason why problems can be seen in dogs (as opposed to, say, humans!) is that their

rate of metabolism of the obromine is slower, meaning it hangs around in the body longer. The onset of clinical signs rapidly follows ingestion. Initially, hyperactivity, behavioural abnormalities and vomiting may be seen; this can quickly progress to panting, fast heart rates, weakness, incoordination, muscle tremors, hyperthermia and sometimes seizures. Death can result from cardiac rhythm disturbance. A phone call to the vet is advised. The potential toxicity of grapes and raisins has been brought to light over the past few years. Illness occurs as a result of acute kidney failure, but no one has been able to identify the toxic substance yet. Equally unclear is how many grapes or raisins need to be eaten before toxicity is seen, because some cases have eaten only a few, whilst many dogs can eat these foods without any apparent effect. It may be that some dogs are more sensitive. The first signs of an adverse reaction will be depression and vomiting. Veterinary attention should be sought immediately. If kidney failure develops, intensive care is required and sadly death is possible. Chewing gums can be toxic if they contain the substance xylitol. Xylitol leads to reduction of blood glucose to dangerously low levels, which will be seen as depression, incoordination, confusion, seizures and / or

BOOK REVIEW

AN A TO Z ATTRACTION TO BRIGHTON Horsham Pages South talks to Sussex author Kevin Newman about his latest book, which he argues we need more than ever in the “Terrible ‘Twenties”.

B

righton and Hove when combined are Sussex’s largest settlement, and the larger of our county’s two cities, so it is not surprising that readers aren’t exactly short of books Kevin Newman. about the city and its past. So, why do need another book on the ‘Old Ocean’s Bauble’ as Brighton was once described? Lockdown is one reason, according to author of Amberley Publishing’s A-Z of Brighton and Hove, Brighton-born Kevin Newman. “When we were told we could only have one hour’s exercise a day, people that never usually went on walks widely decided they would now take them daily; it was their right. So you now have lots of people who’ve explored bits of Brighton and Hove they never knew existed on walks and want to find out more, and other Sussexians who’ve got the bug for exploring and learning and need inspiration for new walks. Hopefully the book caters for both.” Kevin also quotes the character Flora Poste in Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons, who said: “Sussex, when all was said and done, was not like other counties.” “If that is true,” he argues, “then it is equally true that that Brighton and Hove is not like the rest of the county, and so its uniqueness always makes it worthy of another look.” The book is unusual too as it takes the reader on a selective tour of the past of Britain’s premier coastal resort in alphabetical order. A-Z of Brighton and Hove delves into the stories behind the city’s most notable streets, places, parks and buildings, as well as the dark secrets of its inhabitants, lesser-known lanes and twittens, such as Queensbury Mews, home to Brighton’s smallest pub. The book reveals the stories behind

some of the more unusual visitors to the city such as Sheena the camel who nearly ruined one of our first ever major conferences. Also here are tales of the town’s lessfamous daughters and sons such as the wonderfullynamed Chief Constable D’eath. “There was no way I could hope to emulate Tim Carder’s wonderful Encyclopaedia of Brighton and its early 21st century successor, but I hope my book provides something for everyone, whether visiting or a citizen of the city.” “There is always more to discover about Brighton and Hove”, says Kevin “and in these ‘terrible ‘twenties’ we need the tonic of reading about such a happy city.” Indeed, the book tells how Brighton was recently voted the most popular British seaside destination on the list of 30 locations people considered ‘happy places’. Beating Padstow in Cornwall, the sandy beaches of the Hebrides, St Ives, and northern rival Blackpool. The book is full of quirky snippets including that more than one in ten people from Brighton said it also was their favourite holiday location, which suggests Brightonians therefore even feel on holiday in the place they live in (or as the book suggests, they’re confused about the concept of a ‘holiday’). The book argues Brighton and Hove is a city of achievements, accomplishments and firsts in times of peace or war. Not all of them are positive, of course. We read that the first man ever to die in

GARDEN VIEW

DAZZLING DAHLIAS

O

ver the past few years, I've fallen in love with dahlias for their ability to provide autumn colour. I think Dahlias are like the glamorous friend who arrives late to the party, fresh and full of life, outshining all the other guests who are a bit tired and past their best...or maybe that's just me being fanciful. Either way the vibrant colours, tactile textures and stunning petal formations make the Dahlia queen of the September garden for me. The dahlia originates from Mexico and there are 30 species and around 20,000 cultivars! Don't let its exotic past fool you; it hails from high mountain regions so is happy in cool, wet, and windy conditions. It doesn't matter what size your garden is there is a dahlia for you, from dwarf varieties to giants. There is even one variety (Imperialis) that can reach 6m (20 feet) in the wild in its native South America. If your garden is on the exposed side, or you live in the north then look for the pompom varieties as the colourful globes are very hardy, standing up to the worst of the British weather. Dahlia bulbs are comprised of tubers. In order to sprout the tuber must have an ‘eye’. If you live in a very cold area, you can dig up the tubers at the end of the season and plant them out again the following year. My garden is quite sheltered, so I simply cut them down and mulch them. I learned the hard way that mulched dahlias survive and thrive much better than unmulched plants. Dahlia tubers are hungry beasts and don't take kindly to being undernourished. The first year I planted them I didn't mulch and the second year the flowers were sparse and undersized. On the advice of a neighbour I

SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2020

fed them, mulched them, and watered them through the hot season, and they returned in full vigour the following year. Dahlias come in the most amazing array of colours. 'Lubega Power Yellow-Orange' sounds like a toilet cleaner but is in fact a gloriously tropical dwarf bedding dahlia which produces masses of double flowers well into autumn if you deadhead it regularly. At 30cm you can plant it at the front of the border or in window boxes to brighten the dullest of days. Dahlia 'Cornel Brons' produces wonderful round copper-coloured architectural flowers. They are long-lasting and make spectacular cut flowers. They look good in the middle of a border because they grow to 90cm. For gardeners who prefer a more subtle or unusual colour palette: Dahlia 'Cafe aux Lait produces enormous exquisite blooms in a soft apricot-pink colour, which fade to vintage cream. It's the perfect dahlia for creating a focal point toward the back of the border as it grows to 120cm. Dahlia 'Creme de Cassis' has stunning twotone petals on water lily-shaped flowers. It grows to 90cm so is good for the middle of a border and also looks fabulous in a big pot.
