CHARITY shops around Bognor Regis can smell, its town centre manager says. Toyubur Rahman said the condition of some of the cheap outlets in the town centre risked damaging its retail offering. "I have a love/hate relationship with charity shops," he said. "It's good that that they re-use and recycle items and give the opportunity for people to buy items they might not otherwise be able to afford. "But they all sell the same stuff clothing, bric-a-brac and they can smell. I don't like going into some of them," he told councillors. "They should look at some of the particular services they offer. "There is the opportunity for charities to look at some of the things they are doing and grow their services." He said major charities should consider opening coffee shops close to the commercial outlets to take them on in a growing business sector. "If it was a case of an Oxfam coffee shop next to a Costa Coffee, then I would go into the Oxfam," he said. Bognor Regis town centre has at least 12 charity shops. They raise funds for a variety of national and local charities which support a host of mainly medical
good causes. Mr Rahman made his remarks at Monday's meeting of the Bognor Regis regeneration sub-committee of Arun District Council. He was discussing the progress of his Business Improvement District plans to charge firms a levy on their business rates to give them a greater say in improving the shopping area by raising funds for specific projects. "With regard to them paying, I think any national charity - like Cancer Research or the British Heart Foundation - should pay the levy. If it's a local charity shop, I think they should possibly be exempted. "But it's down to the businesses to decide that when the BID plan goes forward," he said. Sub-committee chairman Cllr Phil Hitchins said he had found a distinction between large and small charities. "Some of the national charities are sitting on millions and millions of pounds. The local charities most definitely are not." Siobhan Robinson, the head of retail at St Wilfrid's Hospice, defended the role of charity shops in playing an important part in the life of the town centre. The charity had two outlets in the High Street and Queensway for many years until last month when the furniture shop in the High Street closed. Turn to page 3

Olga is Nicola's shopper as she lives with MS WHEELCHAIR-BOUND Nicola Gibbs has told how a trained labrador has helped her reclaim her life. MS patient Nicola, of Felpham, pictured above, has quite severe upper limb and hand weakness. But beautful yellow labrador Olga helps make up for that by helping her with her shopping. Nicola, 49, said: "She's trained unbelievably well and can bring me named items and answer the telephone. "She pushes buttons at zebra crossings, hands my purse to cashiers and takes items in supermakets and much more. At night, she even helps undress me for bed." Ola's support, though, is about much more than assisting Nicola with daily activities. "She is helping me rebuild my confidence. Sometimes, I still feel really low and don't want to go out and see people but, when Olga looks at me, I know we have to go. I can honestly say that, in a way, she's given me back my arms, my legs and my life," she said. Nicola has told about her experiences ahead of the MS Life event this weekend. MS Life is organised by the MS Society and will be held at the ExCel Centre in London for the first time in its ten years. The biggest MS lifestyle event in Europe, it will feature talks from some of the world's leading MS researchers, celebrities, chefs and interactive workshops. Among those taking part will be Canine Partners, which provided Nicola with Olga. Nicola, who lives with her 52-year-old
husband Adrian, first started experiencing symptoms of MS after giving birth to her daughter, Tasha, in 1992. Nicola woke up after an emergency caesarean section to find she was unable to use her hands. Within a few weeks, she could hardly keep her balance or walk. Tests during the next six months revealed she had primary progressive MS. "I was terrified," she said. "My husband and I knew nothing about MS and we had a new-born baby which I could barely hold. I became incapable of doing even the easiest of tasks. "MS is extremely unpredictable and we had to pick ourselves up and carry on. "Too scared to go out, I found myself lonely and fed up when I was stuck in the house alone while my husband was working as a London firefighter." Nicola has always had animals in her life which helped to keep her active as her condition worsened. However, she didn't realise that a specially trained dog could help her regain her confidence until an adopted collie came into her life. When Indy went to live with her parents in 2014, Nicola applied to Canine Partners for an assistance dog. After her needs and abilities were assessed, she was paired with her canine partner Ola. Ola has been by Nicola's side as a companion, and friend, ever since. More than 100,000 people in the UK have MS. Just under a third of them live in London and the south east.
BLAKEFEST is going indoors this weekend in Bognor Regis. The town's first celebration of the poet and mystic William Blake has been moved to two new locations The failure to obtain a premises licence to enable thousands of people to enjoy the likes of Lightning Seeds outdoors caused a late change of plans. This has seen the popular group dropped from the line-up because of a lack of space for them to appear. But Dodgy - who sold more than a million records in just seven years - are still taking part. They will be performing in Legends in Sheikhs on the town's pier tomorrow along with the rest of the original line-up. This includes David Devant and His Spirit Wife and The Speak. Doors open at 11am. Sunday's event is taking place from 2.30pm on the Seraglio Stage in SeaFish in Aldwick Road. It will host Atila The Stockbroker, Deborah Rose and Sounditions among others. One of the organisers, Rachel Searle, said: "Everyone who has purchased tickets has been emailed. Very few have requested refunds and we will be giving a £5 refund on every ticket already purchased for the Sunday. "Legends seems to be a popular solution and we are delighted to be working with them to put Bognor Regis on the map." As well as music and poetry, Kirstin Burke's beautiful calligraphy will be on display with other art in the Blake Space at Legends tomorrow. Blake's Gallery above SeaFish on Sunday will see original Outsider-In artists Damian and Delaine Lebas showing a bespoke exhibition about Blake. Two books by local writers Kate Pollard and Sea BW Parker will be available as well as the chance to buy Jerusalem! by Tobias Churton. BlakeFest is billed as a unique celebration of the poet, painter and mystic's influence on contemporary
importance on our Splash swimming pools. As a result of this, and with the existing pool here at Bognor Regis reaching the end of its operational life, it was felt that the best option was to develop a new, replacement pool." The plans are set to be submitted to Arun District Council for it to decide. But Mr Pardey said: "We only thought it was right...that we provided a chance for residents to understand our proposals and, importantly, had time to discuss them with us," he said. Work could start on the pool next spring, if Arun approves the plans. The attraction could open in July 2018.
Digital hub is set for spring Ms Carr. Digital businesses already accounted for one in 13 companies around Bognor Regis and this showed the scope for the hub to succeed. It would enable full-time and part-time businesses as well as those with just an idea to benefit from each others' presence. "The local economy will benefit by supporting new business start ups in a high value industry," she said. "The hub will also turn unwanted space into a vibrant employment space." It would also provide a natural link to the University of Chichester's forthcoming engineering and digital technology park. "It is very much about retaining some of the graduates leaving the university looking to start businesses they might have had embryonic ideas about." She and her colleague Anne de Sausmarez gave an update about the hub at Monday's meeting of Arun District Council's Bognor Regis regeneration sub-committee. Chairman Cllr Phil Hitchins said: "These are very innovative people who, when you bring them together, will feed off each other. They will create far more than the sum of their individual parts. They will blossom."
A HI-TECH hub to help to transform the economy of Bognor Regis is on track to open in just six months. West Sussex County Council is progressing with proposals for the innovative centre in the town's railway station. Famous designer Wayne Hemingway is closely involved with the plans, shown above, to open the creative digital hub. Caroln Carr, a team lead economic growth in the county council, said: "We are finding more and more people want to come together and work with us and are interested in this project. "Wayne Hemingway remains interested and is very committed to doing what he can to bring this project forward." The hub is set to come into business next spring providing lease negotiations with Southern Railway are finalised and county councillors agree its business plan. It will create a centre in a former social club and ex-indoor market, where small digital business owners or those with business ideas can share space and benefit from internet links as fast as one gigabyte a second. The hub would be managed by an expert company and subsidised by the county council for its first few years, said

From page one Chichester BID and pay the necessary levy to be part of this, which we fully support. If Bognor start a BID, we would support his and pay as well," she said. "Our charity shops in Bognor are very well supported and we would like to thank our customers for their continued support of St Wilfrid's Hospice." The hospice would soon be opening a new unit in Chalcraft Lane in North Bersted. "This will be offering something slightly different," said Siobhan, "a wide range of donated furniture at affordable prices, and also a new clearance outlet stocking a range of goods from garments, books and bric-a-brac to household goods, all for just £1 per item. "The unit would also provide a service in the local community, collecting donated furniture and delivering purchased items where required."
` Lorry driver injured PARAMEDICS were called to treat a driver after a lorry overturned on the A27 at Fontwell. The driver suffered minor injuries in the accident about 1pm on Monday. The incident saw one of the lanes of the dual carriageway between Fontwell and Tangmere closed for the rest of the afternoon and into the evening. Both lanes were closed for a time from 6.30pm to allow the lorry to be recovered. Firefighters also attended the accident to deal with a fuel spill. Motorists experienced delays and were advised by police to seek diversions.
` Lights for park WORK has started to install more lights in Hotham Park in Bognor Regis. Arun District Council has begun the scheme to have the heritage-style lighting switched on by November. The lamps will match those installed last year and will ensure the path between the park's cafe and Church Path is lit as well as the route between the cafe and the London Road car park. Cllr Dudley Wensley, Arun's deputy leader, said: "The new lights will make the park even more welcoming and safe." They will be fitted with shields to ensure just the paths are illuminated. They will come on as darkness falls and switch off around 11.30pm.

Butlin's to put new swimming pool plans on show next week SWIMMING pool plans are being put on show by Butlin's in Bognor Regis next week. The holiday company is holding a special event next Tuesday to showcase its proposals to replace the existing pool at its resort in the town. The display will take place from 4pm-8pm on Tuesday in the resort's conference centre. The pool is a vital part of the resort and the firm wants to invest in a replacement facility. Resort director Jeremy Pardey said: "Our customer surveys regularly tell us that our guests place much

culture. Until last weekend, it was set to be held at Bognor Regis Cricket and Sports Club in Hawthorn Road. But Rachel and her fellow organisers failed in their bid to use the ground. She said: "My last attempt was for a single TEN which I applied for last Friday but that was rejected by Arun District Council." Planning for Blakefest began in June. They started to talk to Arun about staging the festival in West Park but it was unavailable. They switched their attention, with an experienced event management company, to Hotham Park for a 5,000 crowd event this weekend. Rachel said safety talks began well to secure a premises licence but she was told a week later Hotham Park was not suitable for that size of ticketed event. The organisers' attention switched to the cricket ground with a smaller event. Three TENS were sought for up to 499 people each for three zones on the site. But Arun sought a barrister's opinion ahead of a special licensing and enforcement committee on Tuesday. Philip Kolvin told the council he believed that approach was an abuse of the legislation. "In my view, you can't just divide up a festival ground arbitrarily on a plan and argue seriously that each division is a premises," he said. The police objected to the application which saw Arun cancel the meeting. Arun environmental health manager Nat Slade said: "As a consequence of the objections we received from the police to those late temporary event notices, counter notices were served by the licensing authority. "These nullified the temporary event notices applied for. Therefore, there was no purpose in holding the committee meeting to consider the validity of those temporary event notices because they are no longer in existence. "The reason of the counter notices removes the authority those temporary event notices would have provided for licensable activities."

` Fireworks for Felpham scrapped FIREWORKS have been cancelled in Felpham this year. The community display of bangers and rockets which was due to take place at last month's Fun on the Prom event is being scrapped. It is intended to delay its staging until Fun on the Prom next August. This was suggested by Cllr Matthew Copeland who said: "We don't need to set off the fireworks at any time just because of the cancellation. It makes more sense to put them off and hold them next year." The decision by 7-4 votes is subject to the agreement of the display experts, Selstar Fireworks, who will be arranging it. The popular pyrotechnic extravaganza on the beach was cancelled during a curtailed Fun on the Prom because of the worst weather in at least five years. But Fun on the Prom organiser Cllr Gloria Moss sought her fellow councillors' approval at their latest meeting to hold it on November 2. Everyone involved with the display had backed the new date. "It will be held earlier in the evening because of the time of year and will, therefore, have less of an impact on the neighbouring community," she said. The £2,000 cost of the display was being equally shared between the parish council and Butlin's. Cllr David Smart said the fireworks should go ahead this year. "A lot of people on the day wanted to know when the fireworks were taking place."

Beryl starts petition over plans for poet's cottage f Beryl Kingston with her petition outside Blake's Cottage
by Kevin Smith kevin.smith@sussexpost.co.uk 01243 908506 ext 11 BEST-SELLING author Beryl Kingston has started a petition against proposed changes to Felpham's best-known cottage. Beryl has launched the protest to try to halt the planned work to Blake's Cottage. She has spent this week circulating the petition and putting up posters around the village drawing attention to it.

She was also hoping to have an online version available to sign on her website. Beryl said she was at odds with the intention of The Blake's Cottage Trust's intention to replace later extensions to the historic cottage in Blakes Road with a multifunctional building which it hopes will draw visitors to Felpham. "People in the area will be horrified when they find out what could happen. "It's all the wrong way round," said Beryl, of Aldwick. "The trust should spend the money first on getting the
Postnewspaper.co.uk
cottage in a fit state for people to visit it. "Once they have started to come to have a look around where Blake lived, and they will come from all over the place to seeit , then you can use the profit to build a modern centre. "The trust think people will want to see the modern centre but people are interested in the cottage - not that. They will just think of it as a modern building in the garden and hardly notice it." The situation meant supporters of Blake had two jobs, said Beryl.
One was to press for repairs to the Grade II-listed cottage to begin as soon as possible. The other was to insist no new building should even be considered until the cottage was successful. Famous poet and visionary William Blake moved to the cottage in 1800. His three years there saw him write the words which became Jerusalem. He also called Felpham the sweetest spot on earth because he enjoyed his time there so much. "I admire Blake and I have a passion for Felpham," said Beryl. "I first came here in 1931, I went to school here and I taught here for ten years. My son taught here as well. "I came across Blake when I was 16. I recognised his mind and I have read everything he has written two or three times." The Blake's Cottage Trust bought the cottage a year ago. It expects to announce the chosen architect for the new building this month after inviting a shortlist of four to compete for the work. Compiling the plans is expected to cost £50,000 and the new building has a budget of £500,000. A surveyor's report for the trust details the work which needs to be done at the cottage. The defects include at least eight snapped rafters in the roof with the need for some temporary support until the building is re-roofed and roof strengthening takes place. There was also some water ingress.

Bersted calls for a rethink UNHAPPY Bersted councillors want action against housing from their MP. They agreed to step up the pressure on Nick Gibb to get two plans for a total of 140 homes looked at by the government. Bersted Parish Council clerk Debbie Holcombe emailed Mr Gibb on Tuesday morning to request that the proposals for adjoining sites off New Barn Lane should be called in for a review by the government. This would put the plans on a par with the call ins for developments at Fontwell, which occurred last spring, and Yapton for a 108 home scheme called in this week. Mr Gibb's office said on Wednesday afternoon he had only just received the email in spite of the fact it was sent a day earlier. "He is currently considering what action to take on this matter," the statement said. Mr Gibb's lack of contact with the parish council before its meeting on Tuesday night angered its chairman. Cllr Brian Knight said: "Nick Gibb has totally ignored us. We are very displeased and so are the electorate. "We see the Arundel and South Downs MP has had the two other planning applications called in but our MP has done nothing which does not help the local electorate." His vice-chairman, Cllr David Lainchbury, said: "Mr Gibb said he would do everything in his power to stop development on agricultural land in 2013. Where does he stand on that now?" Cllr Martin Lury said the lack of action was a bad omen for the ability to resist the massive 2,500 home scheme for

ONE STOP SHOP FOR INSURANCE COVER The company, which prides itself on being innovative and excelling in identifying insurance solutions for both individuals and companies, takes time to identify specific requirements and make recommendations that offer wide ranging cover at competitive premiums.
Chalcraft Lane revived by the Church Commissioners and David Langmead. "This area is huge. Nick Gibb said he was supportive before. We need housing but there is no need to keep stacking it in the same area. "The traffic from that number of houses will snarl up the traffic to Chichester. If it was 100 houses, I wouldn't feel so strongly about it. I asked the Church Commissioners at the briefing they held where their moral compass was by trying to deliver a plan against the wishes of the local people. They are vultures preying on this area. That's what they are." Calling in a planning application means it is looked at again by a government planning inspector. The two New Barn Lane schemes were approved by Arun District Council last February and last week for 90 and 50 dwellings in spite of protests from the parish council. Mrs Holcombe told Mr Gibb both applications were contrary to the policies agreed by residents for their neighbourhood plan last year. "One of the core objectives of the Bersted neighbourhood development plan is to maintain and preserve a sense of place and local character ensuring access, outlooks and breathing spaces are also preserved." The neighbourhood plan policies to protect the strategic gap with Chichester and to keep development in the built-up area were over-ridden by the plans. "The parish also has concerns about highway safety and traffic - the proposed development will significantly increase traffic through New Barn Lane and Brazwick Avenue on to the Chichester Road," wrote Mrs Holcombe.
wading through the myriad of comparison sites and direct insurers promoting this offer and that deal, it is ever so reassuring to realise that not all insurance brokers are the same.

PARENTS signed up their young children to make the launch of a Bognor Regis nursery's expansion a success. A large number of mums and dads and their youngsters went along to last Saturday's special occasion at The Old School Nursery. Owners Lisa Davies and Tracey Betes staged an open day to celebrate the start of their care for two-year-olds. Lisa said: "We were stunned by the number of people who came along to the open day and we have 14 twoyear-olds who are new this year. "Everyone loved the new room we have for the younger children. It is a really friendly room for them." They had space for 20 two-yearold children in the morning and in the afternoon, she said. The new service was in tune with Ofsted and government guidelines to encourage children aged two to start learning. Lisa and Tracey opened their nursery in Bersted Street in 2002.

Selling a wide range of products to make your home the best it can be, C&H is an independent company with nine stores across the south east.

Residents can tell police about dangerous drivers by Kevin Smith kevin.smith@sussexpost.co.uk 01243 908506 ext 11 DANGEROUS drivers have been reported to police by vigilant West Meads residents. Recent weeks have seen the motorist in a black 4 X 4 vehicle reported for serious tailgating, an incident of overtaking when a serious road traffic accident was only just avoided and drivers travelling at more than 60mph in a 30mph limit. A vehicle with four bald tyres, which were replaced within a week, was also caught in the crackdown by the residents. David Norton said the information was passed on through Operation Crackdown run by Sussex Police. He has urged others in the area to follow the initial examples and make roads safer. "We all want a solution to this very serious problem, before somebody gets badly hurt, or even killed. "So, please pick up the phone or use your computer to report what you see even 24 hours after the event," he said. "With police resources being stretched to the limit, and how having a mobile response team to cover Chichester, Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, it is now up to us to give them the support we can and to make those calls to let them know that excessive speeding cannot be tolerated." The incidents have led the Sussex
A LAW-BREAKING Bognor Regis motorist has been among those convicted of drink driving after a summer crackdown. Dariusz Chojnowski, 33, unemployed, of The Steyne, Bognor Regis, was arrested in The Steyne on July 4 and charged with driving with 73mcg of alcohol per 100ml of breath in his system and driving with no insurance. He pleaded guilty at Worthing Magistrates’ Court in late August and was disqualified from driving for 18 months. He was also ordered to pay a
Roads Policing Unit to undertake some research using marked and unmarked cars particularly in Lower Bognor Road, Chalcraft Lane and Hewarts Lane. The police are also considering if they can extend the operation of their mobile camera vehicles to West Meads from their current sites in Aldwick Road, West Meads Driveand Chalcraft Lane. Residents around West Meads had been complaining about speeding traffic for several years, said Mr Norton. This occurred not only within the estate but the roads bordering it as well. But hopes of a Speedwatch scheme to monitor the traffic failed because of a lack of support. Letters to West Sussex County Council highways officers and Bognor Regis' MP, Nick Gibb, were also successful in reaching a solution. Mr Norton said Operation Crackdown enabled residents to help themselves tackle anti-social driving. Incidents can be entered on www. OperationCrackdown.org or phoned to 01243 642222. The details are logged on the police computer and can be used to take individual drivers to task. Multiple reports on a single vehicle registration will trigger a police response along with a serious single incident. Following accidents where injuries have taken place, police officers will check the police computer for any reports concerning the vehicles involved.
£180 fine, £85 costs and a £30 victim surcharge. He is among the 127 motorists to have been convicted so far from the 205 drink and drug driving related arrests made by Surrey and Sussex Police between June and July. Sergeant Phil Badman, of the Surrey and Sussex Police Roads Policing Unit, said: "In conjunction with the Sussex Safer Roads Partnership, we work hard to hit home the message that drink and drug-driving will not be tolerated, and the consequences that such actions could have on our roads."

Estate is first with sign of the times VIGILANT residents on a Felpham estate are the first in the area to install new crime-fighting signs. The Summerley Private Estate Residents' Association bought the four Neighbourhood Watch signs for just over £100. The signs are brighter than those which have been seen on lampposts around Bognor Regis for many years. They are also much bigger than a few of what are thought to be the original Neighbourhood Watch signs which can still be seen on the estate. Both old and new signs are on the twitten from the beach to Sea Drive, pictured left. Residents' association committee member Dr Andy Ross said: "I think Neighbourhood Watch is an important thing. "We have a very pleasant estate and we want to keep it that way. It is important to let people know that this is an estate which its residents care about and we

are not going to put up with people doing things we don't want them to do. "We are telling them that, if they get involved in some anti-social behaviour, we will know about it." The signs will gradually be introduced across the Neighbourhood Watch network of thousands of homes around Bognor Regis when funds are available. Dave Hall is the scheme's area coordinator for the Summerley Estate and all its 350 properties are members. "This is just the sort of thing we are doing to make people feel safer," he said. "The signs have a halo effect. It's like motorists tend to stop speeding when they see a police car. "A high percentage of the households on the estate also have CCTV. We have used that footage to show the police as hard evidence of what has gone on. "The estate is generally a low crime area and people tend to stick out like sore thumbs if they are doing anything wrong."

Fourth top award for Sea Cadets DELIGHTED Bognor Regis Sea Cadets and their officers are celebrating another year as some of the best in Britain. THe 24-strong TS Sir Alec Rose has been awarded the highest grading after its annual inspection by a naval officer. Commander Trevor Price ended the evening by announcing he would recommend the unit should achieve the burgee for 2016. It is the fourth year in a row the status has been conferred on the Longbrookbased unit. THe latest success for its overall performance and efficiency is more satisfying than most because it comes just five months after two burglaries hit the cadets. Cdr Price, of HMS Nelson in Portsmouth, praised the achievements of the cadets after their challenging year and commended them on their smartness. He said: "THey were fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed the inspection. THey just smiled and were clearly enjoying
themselves and that's what it's all about. THat's the essence of being a sea cadet. "It's about doing a good job and having a sense of teamwork as well. Having had those unfortunate burglaries, they have clubbed together and worked hard. "THere's a real community spirit here and I am very impressed." THe first burglary hit the Sea Cadets on April 14. THe second is believed to have occurred on April 23. Between them, they saw everything of monetary value in the detached building stolen as well as extensive damage caused to the structure. Laptops, large screen displays, a safe, the Ship's Bell, ensigns, trophies and musical instruments were among the items burgled in a total haul worth thousands of pounds. Its chaplain, the Rev Alison Green, re-dedicated the unit at the start of last THursday's inspection. She said: "May it be a place of learning and laughter. May it inspire us to be people of commitment, integrity, loyalty and self-sacrifice."
f Sea Cadets on parade
Lt Gary Edgington MBE, the officer in charge of the unit, said some of the stolen items had still to be replaced. "Tonight is the pinnacle of a series of inspections and is our equivalent of Ofsted. We are located at the heart of the community here and it's important we stay part of that community," he said. THe inspection saw 24 cadets, aged 1018, on parade. One of the youngest was Amy Wells, ten, who has been a cadet for six months. "I want to be a Royal Marine," she said. "One of my first courses here saw me learn how to row, sail and paddle a one-man kayak. In the winter, I will be learning about tying knots." Local Acting Lead Cadet Robert Henke, 17, escorted Cdr Price around the inspection. He said: "I'm responsible for the day to day running of the unit. It's a lot of responsibility but I enjoy it. It's the prestige of the rank and I help the new cadets and tell them the basic things about the unit."

Gerry joins walkers in memory of his mum EMOTIONAL Gerry Hollands thought of his mum as he joined charity walkers in Bognor Regis in a downpour. Gerry and the other 60 supporters of the Memory Walk ignored the heavy rain to complete a two-mile route around the town to raise almost ÂŁ600. They were organised by Elizabeth House team leader Mandy Thurlgood with its manager, Marian Drake, to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society as part of a nationwide campaign. Gerry, 71, said his mother Winnie Hollands died in July a week before her 94th birthday. "She had been in Elizabeth House for about six years and had had dementia for 15 years. "Dementia is a hard condition. People who have it forget and it was difficult for my wife because my mother thought I was her husband. "I support the home whenever I can. The home is lovely and I go along to visit one of the other residents who has not got any relatives. "I wasn't going to let a bit of rain put me off taking part today. I'm waterproof and I've walked a mile to get here already." Another of the walkers last Saturday was Chichester resident Sophie Harding,
22. She was walking for her nan, Val Terry, 79, who has lived at the home for a month after she was diagnosed last February. "My nan would be proud of me, "said Sophie. "I have Asperger's syndrome and she would be proud of me because it's raining and this has got me out of my house." Sophie said the diagnosis of dementia had changed her family's lives. "I can't have normal conversations with her. She doesn't know what is going on. She has almost gone back to being a child, with her soft toys." She was joined by her mum, Yvonne May, 51, her younger sister , Charlotte Harding, 16, and Val's husband of 61 years, John Terry, 84, of Selsey. John said: "My wife has disappeared. That's the worst part of what has happened. She has got somebody looking after her but I have got nobody." Elizabeth House support worker Danielle Andrews, 23, of Bognor Regis, was also among the walkers. "This is my weekend off but I wanted to dedicate it to taking part in this walk," she said. "I have the privilege of caring for people with dementia and trying to make their

lives better. It's our job to keep them going. "I know this is a big thing to say but, for me, having dementia is worse than cancer because there is no cure for it." Elizabeth House resident Lizzie Pollington, 83, joined the walkers as well. She said: "I'm looking forward to the walk. I'm not worried about the weather." Another resident, Ian Goord, 91, has lived at the home in Victoria Drive for about a year. The dark grey and heavy rain failed to dampen spirits as the walkers set off from Hotham Park's bandstand with the music from the Bamboo Band to get them on their way. Mandy said: "We have had a lot of support for the walk. It's a real shame the weather is so bad." Cllr Pat Dillon, Bognor Regis' town mayor, appeared at the event to thank the walkers alongside representatives from the Dementia Friends programme designed to change perceptions. Elizabeth House in Victoria Drive is the largest home in the area devoted to the care of elderly residents with dementia. It is a modern purpose designed home with 60 single en-suite bedrooms set in six separate self-contained living areas.

DEPUTY town mayor Cllr Phil Woodall gave the Memory Walk participants some words of cheer as they set off in the soggy conditions. He said: "Thank you all for coming. We are Brits and not put off by the weather and good luck to everyone." He said helping to tackle dementia would be one of his good causes for his expected year in office from next May. "It will be one of my charities along
with epilepsy," he told them. He said later the causes were close to his heart. "I've chosen those two charities because my partner's mum had dementia and I have connections with epilsepy," he said. Cllr Woodall was elected as the deputy mayor last May and is due to become the mayor next year but this will be subject to a vote by his fellow councillors.

Call to fine motorists who drive along the High Street FINE motorists who ignore the ban on cars along Bognor Regis High Street, a civic campaigner has urged. Laurie Barnes, the chairman of Bognor Regis Civic Society, said the best way to deter drivers from travelling the length of the road was to hit them hard in their bank balances. That approach had worked well along the B2259 Upper Bognor Road/Hotham Way where police routinely carried out speed checks to ensure the 30mph limit was observed. "I would draw councillors' attention to that approach," he told the town council's latest meeting. Big signs should be put up at the beginning and end of the High Street saying motorists will be fined 'X' pounds very clearly. "Once people knew they were going to be hit hard, and it was a significant amount of money if they went through the High Street, they would soon stop it." Mr Barnes said he also backed the idea of buses being routed away from the High Street to go along Belmont Street instead. "I see that people like the concept of buses dropping them in front of the shops. That's been the traditional way," he said. "But one of the major issues is diesel pollution. "It makes sense to get those fumes out of the High Street and into Belmont Street where, possibly, there's more air movement coming from the sea to disperse them."
Civic society deputy chairman Hugh Coster said he believed the answer was to change the east and west entrances to the High Street. "If the pinch points could be done in the same way as those in North Street and East Street in Chichester, there would not be a problem. The civic society has said this all the time. "It's very important the way the roadway is treated so it is very obvious going from a normal road to it that motorists should not be there." The Post has reported the concerns about the safety of pedestrians crossing the High Street's central section since the latest work on it - which cost £600,000 was completed two months ago. This created a raised paved area some 50m long to link the London Road precinct and The Arcade to make it similar to a pavement among other changes. But buses and emergency services vehicles are still able to drive across it from east to west. After some close misses, this led West Sussex County Council to place four warning signs around the paved area to urge pedestrians to look out for vehicles. Town mayor Cllr Pat Dillon said: "We should send a letter to the county council and Stagecoach buses saying the signs should be changed to say buses please be away of pedestrians. That might make them slow down. "Something needs to be done about the signs clearly indicating there is no entry."

Talented trio join the Lotus Styling team!
DAREN Terry puts his scissors and brushes aside when he conducts a recruitment drive for hair-styling starlets and prefers instead a fine tooth comb. For that is the level of detail Daren and wife Kate use when they run the rule over potential young employees at Bognor’s favourite salon, Lotus Styling, in Aldwick Road. And the husband and wife team say they are delighted to announce three new members of staff have joined Lotus Styling. Stylist Chloe Hewett and Danni Greenhill, as well as apprentice Rhiannon Hambleton, are the new faces at the popular salon and Daren says he is hopeful that the new members of staff will be an asset to the salon and clients. He said: “We’re the town’s biggest hair salon with a staff of 12 but we still manage to retain a certain intimacy and friendliness with our clients of which we are proud. “We are glad to see Chloe, Danni and Rhiannon, who has already been with us for two months, fitting in very well. We are particularly selective when we come to choosing new recruits because we have a fine reputation to uphold and we want any new faces to fit in well, grow with the company and build an exciting career for themselves within the Lotus family. “We are always considering new talent and we never stop looking to recruit to make sure we get the best of the new stylists coming through to join our team.” Talking of the team, Daren and Kate and their staff have just said a fond farewell, albeit temporarily, to a valued

Actress Christine opens drama school in Pagham by Kevin Smith kevin.smith@sussexpost.co.uk 01243 908506 ext 11 PROFESSIONAL actress Christine Ellerbeck is passing on her skills in Pagham after her move to the village. Christine, pictured left, is probably best known as Beattie in London's Burning and Lisa in the original series of Birds of a Feather. She said: "I've done a lot of theatre and toured with the English Theatre Company taking Shakespeare around the country. "I've done BBC radio, worked with Ken Loach on Ladybird, Ladybird, was Beryl in EastEnders and have appeared in My Family three times, New Tricks and I was Joy in Albert's Memorial and Bet in Come Rain Come Shine with David Jason." The first session of her Oak Academy of Performing Arts, of which she is the principal, will be 6.30pm-8.30pm tonight at Pagham United Reformed Church on Pagham Road. The age group for children will be 7-14 years. Christine ran the Oak Academy drama clubs for children in Ottershaw, Surrey, for 15 years when she lived in the area. She previously taught occasionally at Colin's drama school in London and privately coached as well as appearing in the top-rated productions. "The clubs are amazing fun and the

children are taught by a professional still in the business," said Christine. "All my students gain enormous confidence and become fine actors." She includes plenty of improvisation in the sessions and writes 40-minute shows which gives the students the chance to perform. Previous productions include murder mysteries Hotel Spellbound and Murder on the Rue Rouge and Cinderella, a panto, Snow White and the Dudes and Robin Hood. "Everyone has a part. I have no children standing around doing nothing," she said. "It's great fun but there are rules. I produce children that, if they so want, could enter the acting profession. "This isn't something I encourage as I know how difficult the business is. But I do have seven children signed with an agent. Three are working and doing adverts. "The standard of the children I put forward is extremely high. But the main purpose of the club is all about fun and confidence. I have the shyest of children attend the club and, after three weeks, I can't get them off the stage. "Children are superstars when they're on stage. That's what I encourage." Christine is also hoping to open a club in the Bersted or Bognor Regis area once her Pagham venture is up and running.

New homes plans alarm residents WORRIED residents in Pagham are alarmed at the impact of thousands of new homes, its parish council chairman has said. Cllr Ray Radmall said about 3,000 new properties were being planned on four sites in the area - Hook Lane, Sefter Road, Church Barton Farm and Morells Farm - compared to the existing number of just over 3,500 properties. "It is plain to see this will be the most frightful burden upon an already failing local road infrastructure, serious proven flood problems and sewage overload," he said on Wednesday. "Pagham has only two routes to the strategic road network: Pagham Road/Vinnetrow Road, Rose Green Road/Chalcraft Lane. "These are, and will continue to be, grossly inadequate, frequently gridlocked and already hampered by HGVs and farm vehicles. "Pagham Road, in particular, is narrow and winding, even at that part classified as B2166. "Local people are deeply concerned that no regard has been paid to these pre-existing conditions when developers have been requested to submit their schemes for consideration by Arun District Council." Plans by Barfoots of Botley for a large development would also add more HGV journeys to the road.

CREATIVITY was on offer at a Bognor Regis community day. Finlay Clark,11, was quick to take advantage of the chance to enjoy some clay sculpting. He made tablets with inscriptions such as 'Home Sweet Home' and the Harry Potter quote, 'Love Blinds Us'. He said: "It's good fun. I like modelling the clay and trying to get it looking good. "They are going to be fired so they will last forever and I will take them home." His work with the clay at last Saturday's event by Bognor Community Action Network was supervised by sculptor Su Cloud. The event took place amid heavy rain but there was plenty of fun undercover to keep those who braved the wet entertained. Su said: "Modelling clay is very good for the fine motor skills. Everybody can benefit from it. It can particularly help those with arthritis and osteoarthritis because you are using your fingers to squeeze and roll the clay. "It also helps hand to eye co-ordination. The children here are enjoying themselves because they are being creative and that's a natural thing to do." Cllr Pat Dillon, the Bognor Regis town mayor, went along to meet some of the children during the morning. He also had a raffle stand to raise money for his chosen cause of service cadets.

Sue said: "We came to the market in April. It's enjoyable and fun to do. We make the products and we need to show them to sell them." They were also selling knitted red poppies for Remembrance Sunday and handmade mini-Christmas puddings. Sandra said: "People love these items. They are not something you can buy in the shops because they are so individual." A range of other handmade craft items was also on sale along with freshly made bread and plants.

Markets will be back ARTISAN markets will return in Bognor Regis next year. Joint organiser Chris Warden said she was committed to staging three of the popular events in 2017 after the success of their first year. "They have proved really popular. We've always had a lot of people coming along," she said at this year's final market last Saturday. "Today is not so good because of the weather but, even then, the Methodist church hall is full and I have always got a waiting list for it. "There's usually between ten and 20 stalls outside as well. There are not so many people today but there was a still a queue here this morning waiting for us to open. "Local people like to get involved with something where they can make and sell items to people who appreciate them. "We will definitely be back next year with three more markets. They will probably be in April, July and September again but the dates are not fixed yet. "We held our first market last October and some of our stall-holders have been with us for a year. "We try to offer a bit more to people than just the stalls. We've got Sarah Saville singing for us today because we have always had some entertainment." Among the ever-present stall-holders was Melanie Mavers with her Chocolate Gone Mad treats. "It's a good atmosphere here with a nice bunch of people and friendly faces. That definitely all helps," she said. "None of us are on the high street so it's all about offering people something different. This type of market mixes it up a bit for people and I'm usually busy

Record number of runners for hospice RUNNERS from around Bognor Regis helped to make a fundraising event a record breaker. They were among the best-ever 1,100 participants in the latest Chestnut Tree House 10k along Littlehampton seafront. Those who made the occasion such a success on Sunday are expected to bring in more than £45,000 to smash last year's top total. The 10k is one of the biggest and most important fundraisers for the hospice's work supporting children and young people in Sussex and southeast Hampshire with life-shortening conditions. Hospice events fundraiser Nicky Ifould said: "Thank you to every one of our runners. Every penny they raised will go directly towards our work supporting seriously ill youngsters, which is hugely important for us as we receive less than 7% of our funding from central government." Among the sportswear and high-vis vests were a band of runners in fancy dress. Among them were snowman James Snook and his friend, Dave Chapman, who dressed as a 'female Mr Tumble' in a hot pink outfit. James, 38, from Portsmouth was spurred into action for his latest help for the hospice after it looked after the daughter of his close friend. "This is the first time I've done the 10k and the crowd were fantastic. There was lots of cheering," he said.

f Fire crews are being trained to help paramedics
Fire crews train to help paramedics FIREFIGHTERS in West Sussex are being trained to help to save lives with paramedics. About 40 firefighters, including 12 new wholetime recruits, have completed the immediate emergency care responder course developed by South East Coast Ambulance Service. They will be taking part in a trial set to start later this year. The training enables firefighters to provide treatment to patients in the moments before ambulance crews arrive much in the same way as the ambulance service's community first responders.

about ensuring our most seriously ill patients are seen as quickly as possible. "When someone is in cardiac arrest, with every minute that passes, their chances of survival diminish significantly. "We'll always assign an emergency response to the call at the same time. But, if firefighters reach the scene of an emergency before ambulance crews, they will be able to begin vital life-saving treatment." For West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, chief fire officer Lee Neale said: "It goes without saying that, if a life is at risk, we want to do all that we can to help that person."

The Infiltrator)
Release date: 15 September Director: Adam Wingard Starring: James Allen McCune, Callie Hernandez, Corbin Reid Genre: Horror, Thriller
Release date: 16 September Director: Brad Furman Starring: Bryan Cranston, John Leguizamo, Diane Kruger Genre: Biography, Crime, Drama
It’s been 20 years since James’s sister and her two friends vanished into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland, leaving a trail of theories and suspicions in their wake. James and his friends Peter, Ashley and film student Lisa venture into the same woods each with a camera to uncover the mysteries surrounding their disappearance. But as the endless night wears on, the group is visited by a menacing presence. Slowly, they begin to realise the legend is all too real and more sinister than they could have imagined.
Based on a true story, Federal agent Robert "Bob" Mazur goes deep undercover to infiltrate Pablo Escobar’s drug trafficking scene plaguing the nation in 1986 by posing as a slick, money-laundering businessman. Navigating a vicious criminal network in which the slightest slip-up could cost him his life, Mazur risks it all building a case that leads to indictments of 85 drug lords and the corrupt bankers who cleaned their dirty money, along with the collapse of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International.
f Blair Witch f Bridget Jones’s Baby Bridget Jones’s Baby z Release date: 16 September Director: Sharon Maguire Starring: Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth, Patrick Dempsey Genre: Comedy, Romance Fifteen years after we first opened her diary, the hilariously awkward, thirty-something singleton is now forty-something and single again following a split from Mark Darcy. Each of the previous Bridget Jones films has hinged on our hapless heroine’s choice between two
rival suitors, and the third chapter finds her facing a similar decision. After a bumbling encounter, handsome American Jack Qwant becomes Darcy’s new rival for Bridget’s affection. But another love triangle is just the tip of the iceberg. As the title suggests, Bridget Jones is pregnant and either man could be the father! Unlike the previous films, Bridget Jones’s Baby is not based on a Helen Fielding novel and instead uses her columns for The Independent as inspiration. With two perfect suitors, a happy ending seems inevitable whoever she chooses, which makes this jubilant romantic comedy a guaranteed perfect night, whether you’re watching with friends or all by yourself.

Dazzled by the delights of Dorset and Devon Martin Lury Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys THIS week I devote my column to a late August foray into Dorset and East Devon in search of sun, relaxation, good food and fine wine — and indeed I was to discover hidden treasures in this location. To this end I booked two nights at the Fernhill Hotel in Charmouth (a couple of miles from Lyme Regis) with its stunning, sun-blessed, outdoor heated swimming pool and well appointed rooms. This hotel is run by the charming owners Jo and Rob Illingworth and Rob is a great hotel bar host — the wines on offer in the good restaurant are carefully selected with quality in mind. Lyme Regis being close by, I was able to observe almost a bygone seaside holiday scene on a beach with imported French sand upon which families indulged in the simplest of pleasures with utmost delight. The cafe culture here was one I wish that our own Regis, namely Bognor Regis, would emulate. It was in a seaside outside area that I encountered David of Dalwood vineyard, which I will explore in the next section. Chancing upon a rather salubrious-looking joint quaintly named the French Lieutenant's Bistro
(do you recall the book by John Fowles?), I managed to secure an outside table affording me a stunning view of the bay. I delighted in regaling my palate with some marvellous seafood and now realise that the warm welcome given by Jonathan Golding and partner Fiona at the bar said everything about an establishment aiming to please and succeeding totally in that aim. Prior reservation is de rigueur and this restaurant, and its charming staff and young chefs deserves all the accolades. Do you believe in serendipity? Well, I believe that my chance encounter with David Dower of Dalwood Vineyard is a prime example thereof. He agreed to meet me in the Tuckers Arms, his local, which was somewhat akin to entering a monastery with its 13th century interior. I
duly tucked in to the most hearty food and generous portions and was able to order one of the few remaining 2013 Dalwood Brut and was pleasantly surprised by its quality — in fact, one of the best English sparkling wines I have ever tasted ! Up the hill we then trudged to the Dalwood Vineyard to find 3,000 vines planted on a three acre hillside on land owned by local farmer Les White — all the more unique as this is a hobby business formed by a group of friends who are all residents of the small Devon village of Dalwood. David explained to me that, using the Seyval Blanc grape, their first picking in 2013 produced 2200 bottles of Brut and the one I in fact tasted won a bronze medal in the 2014 World Wine Awards. The second picking produced a dry still

white wine (about 1,700 bottles) and I have subsequently tasted this and approve of its quality. The third picking 2015 (circa 2,500 bottles of Brut) will be available early 2017 with wines available direct from David Dower on 07919 403251 — I shall certainly be placing an order. As we parted David recommended Miller's Farm Shop in nearby Axminster for French wine as he buys every week — off I went, my last stop before setting off home. My eyes began to bulge as I surveyed the huge range of French wines on sale at Miller's with wines you rarely see in supermarkets! I carefully selected about eight wines, advised a young man which ones to try and then sought out the owner Malcolm Miller to discuss my purchases.
He was a very interesting character and told me that he buys wine weekly in France and trusts the French's judgment when selecting. The Givry Ier Cru 2014 I bought is difficult to source in England and was good value for about £10 and the Pouilly Fume Gilles Blanchet 2015 was resplendent in terms of flavour and was under £11. In terms of reds the £5.99 Breathing Space Margaret River Shiraz 2012 took my breath away and the Chateau LaroseTrintaudon Haut Medoc 2012 at about £15 was beautifully balanced and dry and provided instant gratification as well as good length and lovely red fruit flavours. Malcolm Miller knows his wine and seems to specialise in the second wines of classy producers .

South Downs Folk Festival Fri 23rd, Sat 24th and Sun 25th September BOGNOR Regis International Birdman’s annual event returns this summer and takes place at the Pier in Bognor Regis. Bold contestants take their chances in an attempt to 'fly ' off the Pier for cash prizes. The Categories for competitors include serious fliers 'Condor class' who use adapted hangliders, 'Kingfishers' -fancy dress contestants whose attempts to fly are usually doomed from the start and 'Leonardo Class', a flying craft designed to fly using man power only, named for the historic efforts of Leonard Da Vinci. This event is great for all the family to enjoy and alongside the flying there will be numerous other entertainments taking place, on and ar FOLK music will take over Bognor Regis later this month as a popular festival returns. There are some World class and top rate Festival headliners at this year's Southdowns Folk Festival including the brilliant CARA DILLON & Band, the awesome OYSTERBAND and folk legend and multi-award winner MARTIN CARTHY appearing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings at the Alexandra Theatre. Excellent support each evening is from `India Electric Co`. ( Friday ), `Fate the Juggler` ( Saturday ) and the Robb Johnson Band ( Sunday ). Saturday and Sunday afternoons in the Regis Centre Studio will also play host to a scintillating array of folk & roots performers. Featuring on both days will be the superb Celtic sounds of the wonderful Dutch band, WILD GEESE! These guys will bring the house down with their exciting and brilliant interpretation of some of great Celtic songs and tunes. Wild Geese are based both in the UK and Europe, and with their different languages, backgrounds and cultures, they play an amazing variety of instruments and create some totally unique sounds for audiences to bask in some truly magical Irish/Celtic
qualities. On Saturday also, Scottish Folk sensation CLAIRE HASTINGS takes to the Studio stage. In 2015, Claire won the prestigious BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year and has also performed with the likes of Lulu, Jamie Cullum and Deacon Blue! On Saturday and Sunday, folk legend and Folk Award winner, STEVE TILSTON comes to the Studio. Steve is one of the most celebrated song-smiths on the folk and contemporary scene today and as The Daily Telegraph says: “His musicianship is beyond question, while the arrangements set a standard against which other acoustic/roots albums ought to be measured”. The Saturday and Sunday Studio concerts are packed full of some other excellent folk musicians, including the great duo Rosie & Rowan, `Christie Moore` tribute, Jason Hinchey, Alistair Goodwin ( all Saturday ) plus on Sunday, great songs from Trevor Clawson, Celtic Simbel, the hugely talented Emmay, Ed
Bognor Regis Town Centre will really come alive on 24th and 25th September with fabulous markets as part of the Town`s Southdowns Folk Festival. Fascinating and exciting stalls will line the pedestrianised London Road Precinct, the `Old Town` area, with a superb indoor craft and gift market under marquee on the Place St. Maur next to the Festival`s main music venue, the Regis Centre. One of the organisers of the Festival markets, Chris Warden said: ` The Town Centre will be really humming with a huge array of great stalls to tempt all budgets and tastes, plus some very yummy catering outlets. The aim is to fill every part of the Town Centre with products, gifts and excellent catering that will be
Goodale and John Forrester amongst others. And it’s an event for all the family to enjoy. Children will also be kept occupied over the weekend with entertainment including clowns, face painting and creative arts activities. Youngsters will take part in the Sussex Young Folk Competition with the winner set to receive a new guitar and get the chance to perform on stage in front of a crowd later that day. Meanwhile, the sounds of folk music will fill the streets of Bognor as buskers don their guitars, performing in and around the town over the weekend. So if folk music is right up your street, get out and grab yourself a ticket to this hotly anticipated event. Entry to the Studio Concerts ( 12 noon start ) is just £10 each day for nearly seven hours of great music and entertainment. Tickets can be booked online at www.regiscentre.co.uk, but if you have a Full Weekend Ticket ( just £62 ), this gets you into all the Festival concerts both afternoon and evening.

Delicious food at Grill FANCY a tasty takeaway meal to include mouth-watering mozzarella fingers? Would your appetite be satisfied with marinated fillet of lamb or chicken on the skewer, interlaced with slices of onion, green peppers and mushrooms, grilled over a charcoal grill? Try a traditional Turkish dolma; stuffed wine leaves with rice, herbs and spices. Perhaps a vegetarian pizza with green peppers, onions, mushrooms and sweetcorn fits the bill? It all sounds delicious, right? It could easily be a selection of grub worthy of a trendy High Street eatery menu. But all of the above is available from one of the best of what is more commonly known “kebab shops’ in Bognor Regis. The Charcoal Grill, in the town’s Station Road, offers a vast selection of food to eat in or takeaway and has proved very popular with customers over the 20 years it has been serving these excellent offerings. Be it pizza, burgers or kebabs, all meals on the extensive menu are prepared with fresh ingredients by experienced staff who will ensure that your food is cooked just the way you like it.
Customer Lesley Todd has been a regular at the Charcoal Grill for many years and is happy to endorse both the quality of the service and the food. She said: “I have used this place for a long time now and the guys are so friendly. I find that the food quality is second to none, the delivery is quick and it's open very late which can be handy, especially when I have been working long hours. “I genuinely can’t fault it. They also cater for all the family and have a kids’ menu so if you want to have a break from cooking try ordering a takeaway and I am sure that you will not be disappointed.” And the dessert menu is particularly tempting, too. Try the Baklava; a rich, sweet pastry made of layers of filo filled with chopped nuts and sweetened and held together with syrup or honey. Delicious!

WELCOME to our latest column provided by My Sisters’ House CIC Arun & Chichester Women’s Centre. THese columns will draw on, and briefly question, relevant issues in the Post circulation area and shows existing community provision that can help. It is not a direct promotion of the centre's services but raises issues and increases access to what is available.
Dear Editor
THE richest 1% of the UK population owns more than 20 times the wealth of the poorest fifth, according to Oxfam. That made Britain one of the most unequal countries in the developed world – can you believe that? In a nutshell, the charity's report analysed data which found that the richest 10% of the UK population own over half of the country's total wealth, with the top 1% owning nearly a quarter (23%). The poorest 20% share just 0.8% of the UK's wealth between them. Oxfam has urged Prime Minister Theresa May to help close the gap between the 'haves' and the 'have-nots'. Whatever your thoughts are on politics - inequality is a massive barrier to tackling poverty and has created an economy that clearly isn't working for everyone. While executive pay soars, one in five people live below the poverty line and struggle to pay their bills and put food on the table. What needs to happen? Closing wage gaps, incentivising investment in companies' staff and making sure they pay their fair share of taxes is a start. The government would say they have begun to make changes such as bringing in the National Living Wage and reforming the welfare system, but admits that more needs to be done to help both the poorest in the UK as well as families struggling to make ends meet. However, some go as far to say - unless we can reverse the inequality trends of the past 35 years - the ensuing social chaos will eventually destroy democracy. Can you make a difference? Campaign, volunteer, fundraise, donate, shop - get involved in any way that suits you. Set change in motion and start transforming lives today. You can make a difference. Feel this is not enough - feel more action is needed? There are many action groups but one which seems to be growing and has an increasing coverage is The People's Assembly. The People’s Assembly is a broad united national campaign against austerity, cuts and privatisation in our workplaces, community and welfare services, based on general agreement with the signatories’ Founding Statement. Linked to no political party and based on affiliation by individual supporters, unions nationally and locally, anticuts campaigns, and other student, pensioner, unemployed, disabled people’s, women’s, black people’s, youth and LGBT campaigning organisations. It aspires to support, encourage, coordinate joint action, and facilitates a transfer of experience rather than to command. You can join a local group and play a community activist role, knowing it is not linked to political parties. Checkout: http://www.thepeoplesassembly.org.uk
Bognor Regis is desperately in need of regeneration to reverse its reverse economic, social and physical decline, which is as a result of its fall from grace as a tourist destination, due in part to previous and to some extent recent poor planning decisions, and ADC’s obvious and hopefully soon to be historic bias towards Littlehampton. There is no doubt successful regeneration will strengthen Bognor as a community and create new economic opportunities. To date there have been a number of proposals but none as well considered and architecturally inspiring as those proposed by The Sir Richard Hotham Project, shown above, which is fully funded to the tune of £80m. There are essentially three elements to successful regeneration: • Cultural – leading to inward investment, higher resident & visitor spend, job creation voluntary, business and cultural sector partnerships for example the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra have already expressed interest with
their Resound programme; • Economic Social - change of image/reputation/residents' and visitors' perceptions of the town of the town, increased social cohesion bringing with it greater confidence and aspiration, improved health; • Environmental/ Physical – quality architecture in keeping with its environment and drawing on the town's history, incorporation of environmental improvements, development and use of mixed-use spaces. It is obvious to me, the leisure, hotel and residential development on the current Regis Centre site along with the theatre and associated hotel and seafront restaurant meets all these requirements. The theatre/conference venue which is already attracting interest will hold over 1,000 people who will spend money in the town, stay in local hotels, and eat in local restaurants, and not just walk along the prom and buying fish and chips as is the case with Butlin's visitors who are encouraged to stay, eat and be entertained in the resort. Ray Hagger Bognor Regis
Thank you for your fair and balanced coverage of the debate on which option (if any), would best serve the needs of Chichester. Since your last edition, a crowded meeting organised by Donnington Parish Council overwhelmingly voted for the 'No Option' choice with a caveat that the Northern Bypass Option be re-considered as it was mysteriously withdrawn from the original list of options. In addition, the Chichester Canal Trust have described Option 2 as a 'travesty' and argue forcefully that this option would be hugely detrimental to their successful business and all users of the canal facilities. These latest contributions to the consultative exercise add their weight to the almost universal objections to Option 2 from parish councils in the Manhood Peninsula, residents' groups and individuals south of the A27 who believe this option would spell disaster for this area of Chichester. The bottom line is: £280 million, 41 months of misery and traffic chaos during the construction phase for a two minute saving on local journey times. What economic or environmental arguments could possibly justify such a ridiculous deal? Mike Harper, Canal Walk, Chichester I am curious to know if the 5,000 signatures that were collected against the proposal for a northern route, were actually from people who live in the Chichester area or just from "friends" of the Goodwood estate, who do not have to deal with the traffic congestion on a daily basis. R.L., Merston, Chichester. There is only one proper solution to the horrible traffic problem in Chichester – this is a Northern By pass route. It is a scandal that it was not put forward as an option.

Albert Florence was one of town's coach pioneers

By Sylvia Endacott
f Coaches wait for passengers outside the pier
Coach trips took residents inland to such distant places as Arundel WHEN you are going off for a day trip or a trip to the theatre on a coach how often have you heard, ‘Do you remember when?’ or when talking on a bygone subject it changes to ‘Were buses really like this in the past?’ and “How much were the bus fares?” The earliest coaches to the area, however, were coach and horses that used to travel through the countryside from London, through Arundel to Bognor and on to Portsmouth sometimes arriving after an arduous 12 hour journey, through wind, rain and snow on very poor roads or tracks. Not too bad if you were rich and could purchase a ticket to have a seat inside, but,it would have been a terrible journey to have to sit outside. From the 1860s, people such as Albert
Florence, operated from West Street with their coach and horses, providing half day trips into the country to such distant places as Arundel, Slindon, Chichester or even Goodwood for 2s 6d. The most popular of these trips appears to have been Slindon Woods where many people have memories of their picnics in the bluebell woods. Pictures of some of the early trips with various companies show a diverse range of transport coupled with the majority of passengers in their ‘best clothes.’ The pictures shown here indicate this, with all the gentlemen in their ‘Sunday best’ which were often the only alternative to their working clothes. Coach trips were much more of a social
The majority of passengers wore their best clothes

f Arthur Davies and his family
f A Southdown charabanc
event - ladies in hats, gentlemen with their collars and ties, a far cry from today’s trips. In the past it was definitely the ‘thing to do’ at the weekend - have a trip out - with a photograph taken for the benefit of those left behind. Another pioneer of public transport was Arthur Davies who operated from West Street for a period from 1903. Over the next few years he built up a fleet of charabancs and motor coaches which transported the visitor and town’s people to a wide variety of local beauty spots. He also operated a regular service out to Southampton and along the coast to Brighton. One of his most profitable routes was from Chichester to Portsmouth, which cost 5s 0d. It is believed this was the first recorded local council regular bus service in the area. His vehicles were known locally as the “Lady Cars” and were a regular sight
standing outside the pier. One of these early half-day trips was to the then famous Stamp House, which became the Bersted Tavern, on the Chichester Road in North Bersted, and is now a Tesco Express. He was a great family man and numerous early pictures showed him with his wife and beloved daughter – Florence. Tragically she died at the age of 13 and, as a result of this and his ill health, he sold his thriving business in 1915 to a new company – Southdown. This eventually became Stagecoach Buses which continues to serve the town and carries on his route to Chichester. On the death of his daughter, Arthur provided money to St John’s Church - which was then in London Road - to allow them to purchase a carillon in memory of his daughter. This we are told could be heard all over Bognor.
Bognor Regis Music Club
Dear Editor I am really upset about the move of Chichester Post Office. I was born in Chichester 51 years ago and the Post Office has always been a major part of the local people's life. The Royal Mail should appeal
about this decision! Elderly people and disabled people alike from the local community rely on having the Post Office close to the bus stops by the Cathedral. It should not be allowed!!! Tess Springall Lavant
A HIGHLIGHT of the forthcoming year for Bognor Regis Music Club will be a performance by Alison Rose. Alison, pictured above, was the winner of the 2015 Maggie Teyte Prize and has recently completed her studies on the opera course at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. She is a National Opera Studio Young Artist for 2015/16 and is certain to bring the grace and elegance of opera to the club. Its 39th season will begin after its annual general meeting tomorrow. Anyone with a passion for song and music is welcome to join. Performers who will be joining Alison in the coming months will include a huge range of local, talented musicians. They will include shows from members of the club, pupils from The Regis School of Music and University of Chichester students. They will unite in a varied programme of songs, instrumental solos and ensembles. The Regis Music and Concert Club was formed in 1977 to promote the performance of vocal and instrumental chamber music for members and visitors. The name was changed to the present title 22 years later. Its recitals continue to be held in the Regency-style premises, boasting a minstrels' gallery, at 2 Sudley Road. Admission prices for professional concerts are £9 members and £11 visitors.

finishing the marathon course before four hours was on the stopwatch and Neil Strudwick just over. Jade Fish finished just under the five hour mark. In the half marathon, Derek Natoli achieved an impressive PB of 1.57.51, sandwiched by Paul Westwood and Judith Bazeley closely followed by Charlotte Seaton. At Leatherhead, Tony Holcombe ran it the Bacchus marathon. Tony ran the undulating course impressively to finish in 4.23.40 and 3rd in his age category. Paul Coe competed in his 22nd marathon of the year and 36th overall in Farnham. This was a really difficult marathon with 2500ft of hills to get over, despite this Coe still completed the race in 4.25.27 Carolyn Stapely, Ian Bayley and Gary Pidgeon competed in the gruelling Ironman 70.3 in Weymouth. This consists of a 1.2 mile sea swim, a 56 mile bike ride and a 13.1 half marathon to give a total distance of 70.3 miles. All three managed to complete all the disciplines with Pidgeon 5.57.53, Bayley 6.39.54 and Stapely 6.54.17, a great achievement.
Broken Bognor suffer a seven-try battering by Robert Henry news@sussexpost.co.uk
NEWLY-PROMOTED Bognor started the London Division Three south west campaign with morale-crushing 52-0 hammering by Eastleigh. The home side endured a heavy seven-try defeat by the powerful Hampshire outfit at a rain-sodden Hampshire Avenue. The visitors seemed fitter and stronger than the home side and showed their intent early on despite the wet conditions, which made handling difficult. Bognor’s only tactic seemed to be sending single big runners around the fringe of the breakdown but it didn’t pay dividends. Eastleigh grew in confidence and showed great stamina and went in and the break leading by 17-0. Before long it was 24-0 as the hosts
huffed and puffed but had no answer to the relentless pressure applied by Eastleigh. Inevitably, Bognor tired and offered little opposition to the strong running of Eastleigh's fitter players. The visitors added points at will and it was 45-0 with just minutes remaining thanks to their sixth try, the best of the game, and a conversion. But Eastleigh weren't finished and had time for one last try, and the conversion, to leave the final score at 0-52. Bognor’s Doug
Millen said: “The game started relatively evenly and the first ten minutes started with most of the play between the 22s. In what was a very wet and windy day it made it very hard for either team to secure good line out ball. A bognor side who had a very positive pre season beating Camberley and Haywards Heath were out of sorts and lacking the intensity they usually bring. But there were some good individual performances from Sam Newcombe when he switched back to 9. Dan Harding and
Chris Webb did well with their fantastic work rate. "Pat Gibbs with a couple of nice breaks, was unlucky not to score. On a more positive notea massive congratulations to our first team captain Lee Balchin on his marriage to Lindsey and we offer them best wishes from everyone at the club." Next Saturday sees Bognor play US Portsmouth at home. There is a lunch on and all support would be welcomed Meanwhile, Bognor 2nd XV suffered a narrow loss when they went down 1715 at home to Shoreham in London & SE Division - Sussex Spitfire 1. Bognor 3rd XV took a hiding when they lost 40-0 at home to their Burgess Hill counterparts in a Sussex Shepherd Neame Leagues Division 4 West encounter. Bognor Colts picked up a decent victory with a 34-12 win over Petersfield in a friendly match.
Stormy Knights by Robert Henry news@sussexpost.co.uk

BOGNOR Knights U19 side were crowned ECB T20 Sussex Final champions after defeating Seaford Storm by four wickets at Horntye Park, Hastings. Seaford Storm won the toss and elected to bat and scored 102 all out (18.3 overs). Ollie Carter hit a decent knock of 40 before he was bowled by Jamie Woolnough. Patrick McCaughan hit 20 for Storm before he was bowled by Adam Robinson. Joe Ashmore took three wickets for 13 runs, while Jamie Woolnough managed to take three for 17 in total. And there were other wickets

for Louis Paul, Josh Sergeant, Tom Woolnough and, as mentioned, Robinson. In reply, Bognor had the target in their sights from the off and saw Harry Hood top score with 26 not out, including two fours. Paul made 20, with the help of four fours. Jack Condon hit 15 and Tom Woolnough scored 10, as the young Knights reached 103 for 6 (19.3 overs). Bognor players were rightly delighted with the victory to cap their season. Josh Sageant took to social media to tweet: "What a way to win a final! Unbelievable end to an unbelievable day, couldn't of asked to win with better bunch."
f Action from City reserves' defeat
SCOTT Murfin grabbed the only goal of the game from a brilliant free-kick to give Pagham a 1-0 Southern Combination Premier League win over Wick at Crabtree Park on Tuesday. Striker Murfin hit home on the stroke of half-time against Jon Tucker's side, who have been shipping far too many goals of late. But the home side did their best to thwart Mark Bennett's men and it need a workmanlike display from the Lions to preserve the lead and take all three points. The win came after it was Murfin who had handed the Nyetimber Lane side a deserved 1-0 victory at Bearsted in the FA Vase on Saturday.

The announcement of the outcome was met with a large number of boos from the crowed. I must reiterate how it was a good stoppage in my eyes. Had he fought on he may have been seriously injured. For me, these big fights are what boxings all about. I haven't been that nervous or excited in front of the tv since watching my hero Oscar de la Hoya fight almost a decade ago. The three aforementioned boxers were also glued to the screen and equally inspired by the slugfest "It was a great fight,” said Ockley ABC boxer Kulis, who enjoys a by to the southern counties round of the England junior development championships, after passing the check weigh in last week coming in at 69.3KG. "I watched it with my coach, Faz, and was amazed at Golovkin's power.” "The whole show was great,” said Knill, 52KG boxer of the same club. "But the main event was out of this world.” Tim Bottomly of St Gerards ABC, weighed in at 81kg ahead of his ABA elite under 20 contests, Sussex regional bout in Hastings on September 24. Big fights like brook Golovkin not only attract more fans to the sport but also motivate other boxers to train harder and take bigger fights. How could any boxer not take inspiration from such a huge event. Not just the lionhearted courage of Brook, but also the ruthless efficiency of Golovkin?

Priory Park on the road for opener by Robert Henry sport@sussexpost.co.uk CHICHESTER Priory Park hockey players are gearing up for what will be their first National League game of the season. They travel to Cheltenham on Sunday (September 18) for a 12.30pm kickoff in a keenly anticipated Conference West encounter. Chichester men’s 1s get to rub shoulders with some of the top teams around thanks to a relegation-defying run at the tail end of last season. Chichester beat Bromley and Beckenham 7-3 in the last campaign meaning they swept demotion aside. The men’s 1s first home game of the season takes place on Saturday, September 24 against Exeter outfit Isca at Kingsham with a 12.15 kick-off.
Trio inspired by GGG-Brook fight OUR area's Tim Bottomly, Simon Knill and young David Kulis are all set to box in their respective national tournaments this month. The trio will draw huge inspiration from last week’s modern day classic as Kell Brook gallantly failed in his attempt to dethrone knockout specialist Genedy Gennady Gennadyevich Golovkin, (GGG) after jumping two weight divisions in a bid to become World Middleweight Champion. Brook was brutally stopped in the fifth round of the contest with a fractured eye socket, after trainer Dominic Ingle threw in the towel. In what was widely perceived to be a mismatch when the contest was first made, Brook showed true courage in taking the fight to a man who will go down in history as one of, if not THE, hardest hitting middleweights of all time. Kazakh powerhouse Golovkin hadn't been taken the distance for over eight years as a professional. But with reports on the week of the fight that he was ill, there was a sense in the air that Brook could pull off one of the biggest upsets in British Boxing history. Such rumours were almost instantly dispelled as the fight got underway though when Golovkin landed his first of many power shots, a looping left hook, that had Brook scrambling off the ropes and having to hold. The Englishman bravely fought back, and by the end of the round even reddened the eye of the middleweight kingpin after landing an overhand right of his own. Brook showed flashes of brilliance in answering back with some heavy counters that would have put most middleweights down. Golovkin however would just take a step back, smile and carry on walking forward, terminator style. The stoppage came in round five after a barrage of unanswered punches landed with sickening effect. Even without the injury, brook was systematically dismantled, to the point where he was unable to efficiently defend himself. The brave Sheffield man went out on his shield, even himself questioning

Duo's seniors title victory IAN Hendry and Martin Leo are celebrating after being crowned American Golf Senior Champions. The pair, from Bognor, totalled a 36-hole total of 78 in the face of difficult conditions, taking the title by six points from Northwich duo Andrew Threlkeld and Nigel Wells. Qualifiers played 36 holes over two days on the Brabazon course at Ryder Cup venue The Belfry. Hendry and Leo set down a marker with 40 points against a stiff wind in round one despite facing a number of challenges. Martin explains: “I was on a boating holiday before
this so I still felt like I was at sea. I flew back and drove from Bognor to make the tee time but I’m so glad I did. The organisation by American Golf has been brilliant and to top it all we’ll be on Sky Sports. Next year I won’t share with Martin, though, as his snoring kept me up and I nearly missed the tee time!” Sitting in top spot by two points overnight and just making their tee time in torrential rain, Hendry and Leo set about a repeat performance of their first round. Impeccable teamwork saw them pick up 38 points to secure victory by six.

Starkey hat-trick not enough CHICHESTER City Ladies are wellestablished and enjoying a great time on the pitch. And the area now has another ladies' team in the shape of Pagham. But the Lionesse ladies debut in the Sussex County Women and Girls division one started with 7-3 defeat at Nyetimber Lane against Montpellier Villa. After a positive pre-season spirits were high going into their first game and were even higher after two minutes when they took the lead through Georgina Starkey after a through ball by Anna Guppy. The lead was short lived as they were soon 3-1 down after just 18 minutes with the visitors shooting from distance
and hitting the back of the net without reply. Pagham, to their credit, were still more than a match for their opponents and looked back in the game just before the break with striker Starkey doubling her tally with a volley from a Chantelle Strudwick corner. Pagham hoped to go into the break with one goal separating the sides, however Montpellier rallied to score again to go 4-2 up. Pagham were the better side at the start of the second half and were unlucky not to get on level terms with Mel Miller, Katie Fisher and Strudwick all forcing good saves from the Montpellier keeper. The visitors extended their lead on 65

Bognor were trailing by three goals before Alex Parsons popped up as a second half substitute and grabbed a consolation goal.

After their travels to the New Lodge ground tomorrow, Howell’s troops are on the road once more when they head for Kingsmeadow to face

THOMAS Byrne looks like he has won his race for fitness ahead of Bognor’s big FA Cup clash at Billericay tomorrow (Saturday). Republic of Ireland youth international Byrne, 18, right, went off injured in the Rocks’ Ryman Premier Division reverse at Harlow Town last week. But Nye Camp boss Jamie Howell says he believes Byrne, currently on loan from Brighton, will pass a late fitness test. He said: “Thomas came off with a knock but I think he is going to be okay for the game at Billericay in the cup. “He is a very good player and he gives us options going forward. “The game is crucial, it’s a huge competition and we want to do well in it, naturally.” Bognor reached the second qualifying round after hammering Guildford City 5-1 at home two weeks ago.
