Sussex Snippets West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service is urgently appealing for more car donations to assist firefighters with their training. The cars allow crews to practice their training and development to deal with road traffic collisions. They cut the vehicles open to carry out rescue operations, and it is crucial they have all the skills and knowledge they need. If you have a car that has failed an MOT or you just don’t need any more and would like to donate it to a worthy cause please call 01243 752448, or email frsmedia@westsussex.gov.uk Worthing-based charity, Care for Veterans, will be holding its third annual Glitter Ball on Saturday 24 November. This year’s event will be held at Fontwell Park Racecourse near Arundel and is an exciting way for the charity to raise vital funds for the veterans in its care.

Care for Veterans has been providing care and rehabilitation to disabled ex-Service personnel for almost 100 years, with centenary celebrations taking place next year. Tickets for the Glitter Ball cost £56 each and include a drinks reception, fabulous three course meal and half bottle of wine per person. There will be live music, a magician, plus lots more! There’s even a coach that will take guests from Worthing/Goring/ Angmering to Fontwell and back, free of charge! To book call 01903 218444 or 01903 213458.

A more effective flu vaccine for the over 65s is being offered this winter in a bid to keep the viral infection at bay. The new vaccine could see 30,000 fewer people require an appointment with their GP. Ultimately this is expected to save more than 700 lives this winter. As well as those over the age of 65, the flu vaccine is also available free to those in groups at particular risk of infection and complications, including: children aged 2 to 3, and those in the school vaccination programme, pregnant women, adults and children with underlying health conditions (especially heart and respiratory disease) and carers. If you are eligible for your free flu jab, please contact your local GP surgery or participating pharmacy to book yourself an appointment. Or visit: www.westsussexwellbeing.org.uk/fight-flu.

SUSSEX LOCAL The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made their first official visit to West Sussex on Wednesday 3rd October. The Royal Couple were given the warmest of welcomes in Chichester and Bognor Regis.

Crowds of enthusiastic well-wishers turned out in Chichester to see Prince Harry and Meghan. Everyone was delighted as the couple spent time chatting with members of the public including groups of local school children. The Duke and Duchess visited Edes House to see the rare copy of the American Declaration of Independence. The Royal Party then travelled to Bognor Regis where they officially opened the University of Chichester’s Engineering and Digital Technology Park.

The Oxford Junior Dictionary no longer carries names such as 'Acorn' or 'Kingfisher', because these words are not being used enough by today's children to merit inclusion. But we know children still want to learn about the wonders of nature. Sussex Wildlife Trust are asking you to help send a copy of The Lost Words by Robert MacFarlane and Jackie Morris to every primary school in Sussex as a special Christmas present. It is a magical book that aims to reinstate the lost nature words to the vocabulary of our children, using word-spells and beautiful illustrations.

Each school will also receive an Explorer's Guide to the Lost Words and lesson plans prepared by the Trust's environmental education team. A gift of £20 will cover the costs of this project for each school.

Visit sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk to donate.

West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service are looking to recruit new urgently needed on-call firefighters. Oncall firefighters can have another job, and 14 of West Sussex’s 25 fire stations are crewed solely by an oncall workforce. Anyone interested in becoming an oncall firefighter can find more information and how to apply at www.westsussex.gov.uk

Potential Government Plans to make the A29 a Major Road Network (MRN) Pulborough Parish Council (PPC) members recently discussed communications between Cllr Quested and WSCC regarding a consultation the Department for Transport had undertaken between December 2017 and March 2018 with the County Council. WSCC had effectively given approval to upgrade the route from its current Strategic Road Network (SRN) status. Almost all of the other towns/villages affected by the proposal already had a bypass road, except for Pulborough. It appeared that the HDC had been consulted by WSCC but though Cllr Quested had asked both why Pulborough had not been included, no satisfactory reply had been received. Cllr Quested had also written to the MP but had had no reply. County Cllr Arculus explained that she had been told that only housing areas would be affected. District Cllr Clarke advised that he understood HDC had only been asked for an opinion on enhancements to a major network with no mention being made of lorries.

Following discussion, it was resolved that the appropriate Minister at the Department for Transport be written to, asking specifically for the A29 to be excluded, citing poor visibility, pinch-points/impossibility of two lorries passing each other at Church Hill and

SUSSEX LOCAL ridges, regular accidents/traffic hold ups, 'dog-leg' areas, old, narrow and deteriorating bridge strength, the effect on the emerging Neighbourhood Plan, and the lack of appropriate consultation of local knowledge. The letter would copy in WSCC Cabinet Member, Pulborough County Cllr, Pulborough District Cllrs, HDC Chief Executive, WSCC lead officer and the MP.

Pulborough’s Harvest Fair & Duck Race help St Mary’s School A highlight of St Mary’s Primary School’s year is the annual musical.

This takes place in a huge circus tent in the school grounds and requires great staging and support by the school staff plus significant costs for costumes etc. The event provides a great opportunity for the children to develop their musical and theatrical talent and enriches their school experience.

To help with next year’s musical, Malcolm Gray and Lesley-Anne representing Pulborough Harvest Fair and Pulborough Duck Race handed over a £500 cheque to Sam Copus, the acting Head Teacher, as part of their contribution to the community from any profits made from these events.

Sussex Snowdrop Trust Care at home for sick children

by Lynn Smith The Sussex Snowdrop Trust is unique, a vital service developed for local children in a particular area of West Sussex.

From left to right: Deputy Mayor of Arundel, James Stewart, Colin Tebbutt Esq The Trust has been proMVO, Di Levantine, Chairman & Co-Founder, Nick Herbert MP viding care at home for children living with lifethreatening or terminal illnesses in West Sussex for a Founding the Trust quarter of a century.

Founded in 1993, the Trust came about when Dr Anne Wallace, Community Paediatric Consultant and Based in Walberton, with its Children’s Community the Nursing Sister of the children’s ward at St RichNursing Team located in Chichester, the Trust covers ards in Chichester, identified three key areas of need an area from Arundel to Billingshurst, Petworth, Midin families whose child had been diagnosed with a hurst and Emsworth and all along the coast including life-threatening illness. Families, she discovered, Thorney Island. urgently wanted a nurse to visit them at home and support them, and to teach them how to look after their child and help them gain the confidence to do so themselves. They also needed to be able talk about diagnosis, prognosis, medication, treatment etc., with a nurse who not only knows them and their child, but who is qualified in caring for children with such serious illnesses. The third need identified was that of financial assistance - as looking after a child who has been diagnosed with a life-threatening condition can put a huge strain on family resources, particularly, as one parent may give up work to care for their child.

Having identified these needs Dr Wallace was unable to find the funding necessary to meet them – even from the NHS - and so she approached the Friends of Chichester Hospitals. Here, after studying and researching how the vision of Dr Wallace could be realised, Frank Snell, Kate Shaw and Diana Levantine founded the Sussex Snowdrop Trust.

The Charity aims to provide specialist at home care by its own Community Nursing Team; helping families to care for their child and enabling very sick children to remain at home with their family, which the Trust believes is the best place for the child to be.

What happens The referral of a sick child to Snowdrop begins with the family’s GP. When a GP believes a child has a lifethreatening illness, they will refer the child to a local

through the door

27

SUSSEX LOCAL

28 Charity Profile hospital where they are seen by a Consultant Paediatrician; who then refers the child to the Snowdrop Community Nursing Team.

The family will see a Snowdrop Nurse within 48 hours of referral. Children might be suffering from illnesses such as cancer, leukaemia, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy and sclerosis or one of a number of other illnesses.

Some conditions may be very rare and some conditions are so complex that it may not possible to provide a diagnosis.

Community Nursing Team

Annual Snowdrop Walk in Arundel Castle Grounds

Dr Ann Wallace heads the Community Nursing Team, which is made up of nurses, a Counsellor and Nurse Support workers.

The Children’s Community Nurses are able to administer medicines and give treatment at home, as well as teaching parents how to do the same for their child. They are also able to give medical advice, listen to problems and liaise with other Healthcare Professionals. Nurse Support Workers will help with babysitting, take children to hospital appointments and also support siblings.

When a child is first diagnosed with a life threatening illness, Counsellors can meet families straightaway and will offer practical and emotional support. The team also incorporates a group of Family Volunteers who provide assistance such as transport for hospital appointments, shopping, babysitting and sibling support, and can become an invaluable friend. A Family Volunteer Co-ordinator will place suitable volunteers with a family.

Currently there are 76 Snowdrop children, some of whom spend time in hospital receiving treatment or undergoing an operation, with the help of Snowdrop’s Community Nursing Team, most are able to remain at home, fortunately, most of the children do live to adulthood, but, sadly, sometimes treatment will fail and children become terminally ill. In these situations Snowdrop is also able to provide end of life care, which can mean 24 hours a day support. Nearly all of the children who have become terminally ill have been able to remain at home – surrounded by their family.

These sad experiences have led to Chairman and Cofounder Diana Levantine and the Snowdrop Counsellor Phil Portway working with three graduates of Chichester University’s teacher training course to produce a resource pack for schools dealing with bereavement.

As the subject is not currently covered on their curriculum, the students believed that teachers would benefit from their research and consequent publication, which not only covers all aspects of bereavement but also helps teachers address problems that may arise if a child in their school has been diagnosed with a life threatening or terminal illness.

30 Charity Profile Financial support Snowdrop can also provide families with financial help – such as buying iPads to help children who are missing school keep up with their school work or simply to help alleviate boredom, by paying taxi fares to and from appointments or helping with basic living expenses.

The annual cost of providing direct family care is approximately £350,000, and the funds are raised by what Diana Levantine describes as “our wonderful and very generous community.” The Trust is supported by many local and national organisations – whether by being chosen as an organisation’s charity of the year or from fundraising events, raffle and auction prizes - all of which raises awareness of the Trust in the local community.

Diana Levantine further acknowledges the support of the community. “We couldn’t survive without the support from local people. Children and people of all ages raise money for Snowdrop. Every penny counts and we appreciate every penny.”

The rest of the team In addition to the Community Nursing Team the Trust has a Fund Raising, Media and Events Manager, Lucy Ashworth, her Part Time Assistant, George Fulcher, a Finance Manager, Michelle Wilkinson and Office Assistant, Claire Stubbs.

There is also another team of volunteers who help with fund raising. Previous fund raising events have included, concerts in Chichester and Arundel Cathedrals, Chichester Festival Theatre, the Annual Snowdrop Walk in Arundel Castle Grounds – which attracted over 1,000 participants this year, and a talk

by Princess Diana’s Protection Officer.

Future events Future events include a violin concert, on Sunday 10th November. To take place in the spectacular surroundings of Arundel Cathedral, and given by the Yehudi Menuhin School – one of the most prestigious music schools for violinists in the world.

All of these events raise much needed funds, but also further raise the Trust’s profile. “The greatest challenge throughout our 25 years,” says Diana Levantine, “has been to get our work understood. The nurses all those years ago were pioneers and community care in its infancy.

“People have heard of Snowdrop but only when they have given us the opportunity to talk at length about our work, do they understand just how important it is.”

In Your Garden Monthly gardening ideas and tasks

by Andrew Staib, Principal Designer of Glorious Gardens Designing your garden this Autumn Autumn is the best time to design your garden.

You can still see the echoes of Summer planting and late Summer and Autumn growth is still often going strong. As the weather gets colder and as you clear away more and more of this year’s debris, the underlining lines and shapes of the garden reveal themselves.

We beg our own garden design clients to start the garden design process in the Autumn!

If you start now you can have all the time you need to spend the Autumn assessing what worked in the Summer, what is needed in the Spring and how you would like your garden to look over the long Winter months without worrying that you have too many tasks to do.

Also hard landscaping can be done over Winter and with planting in early Spring, you can have a revamped garden ready to burst into action by March and April.

Here are some ways to think about your garden.

Proportions Does your garden feel naturally well balanced, or are there blobs of planting that make it lopsided?

Does the patio look too small compared to the lawn or does the new shed stick out like a sore thumb?

Do the vertical sides of the garden look in proportion to the horizontal length? In a small garden normally this would be a 1-3 ratio.

Good proportions can be achieved by balancing the evergreen components of the planting, extending or reshaping paths and patios and bringing in feature trees to create a canopy affect rather than have all the planting at the same height.

Even a raised bed can follow the “Golden Mean” ratio system of the Greeks to give it natural proportions- 8 foot by 5 foot.

through the door Strong Bones Paths and patios, small walls and raised beds can all give your garden a strong structural element which the planting can then soften over the season. You can also use hedges to divide up spaces, or trellis and lattices to create different levels. Does your garden look really good on a cold, grey Winter’s day? If yes the ‘bones’ of your garden are in good shape and with this strong structural element it is pretty hard to go wrong when it comes to planting.

As well as strong bones, rhythm is vital and it is often what most distinguishes an amateur garden from one that looks professionally designed. This can be achieved by repetitive planting in large swathes or interesting motives in walls and paths that are repeated. A garden can be thought of as a frozen piece of music in time, and we know how essential rhythm is in music.

urns, sundials and water features can be placed to serve this function. It is better to have less of them and go for bigger, better quality products. Just think of gardens with too many pots or sculpture. you don’t know where to look and the whole garden looks like a jumble sale rather than a unique personal space that lures you deeper into its mysteries.

Focal point Now is the time to look at your garden from different perspectives. Are your eyes and your body drawn to different areas of the garden? Focal points can draw you into a garden rather than just watching it from one perspective. Old gates,

38 Gardening anemones which catch the Autumn light with their pale flowers lit up.

Colourful foliage is the obvious choice for Autumn. In terms of small trees you could look up Japanese Acer, Cornus kousa, the Spindle Tree, Genko, Cercis and well as Rhus and Amelanchier.

Seed heads, so beloved by English gardens since the turn of the Century create a lovely dark structural foil for the abundant yellows and orange of Autumn. The humble Chive, Circium, Echinops, Cornflowers and Phlomis and well as ornamental grasses such as Pampas, Stipa gigantia, Hakonechloa and Panicum all turn beautiful colours and catch the sun setting lower in the sky at this time of year.

Lastly this is the time for planting bulbs. Hopefully you have made notes last Spring about where more colour is needed. Please read last months article about different possibilities.

Where to go in November Fancy choosing your own Xmas tree? Wilderness Woods in East Sussex offers you the chance to select your tree from their plantation, put a ribbon around it, then come back in December and chop it down. www.wildernesswood.org Also West Dean’s famous Walled Kitchen Garden is a sight to behold with the abundance of the summer still on show, especially since this Autumn has been so warm.

November tasks  Harvest the last of your tomatoes as the frosts can get them.

Even if they are green they will ripen in a bowl.  Lift your Dahlias and store them in a dry, dark place (some people leave them in the soil over Winter but this is a risk).  Prune your Roses back if they are particularly tall to reduce the rock to their roots. A strong Winter wind can wreck them.  Put bubble wrap around any precious tropical trees like Bananas or Tree Ferns.  Think about planting Perennial and trees. Trees can be bought as bare root specimens which means they will be cheaper plus the plants will have five months to establish without any real need of watering before Spring arrives.

Building Terminology

By Chris Ennis FRICS I often have clients describing their building problems to me. Sometimes, their terminology is less than accurate and, invariably, I have to make a physical onsite inspection of the problem. I try to write reports in straightforward English. However, over many years the ‘language’ of buildings has evolved and this often causes confusion. Here below are a few terms, some of which are commonly known whilst others less so.

Water bar – a horizontal steel or rigid bar set into the door or window sills to prevent water ingress.

Weep hole – an opening above a horizontal dampproof course designed to direct moisture within a cavity wall to the exterior of a property.

Wall tie – a metal connector spanning the internal and external skins of a cavity wall.

Boot lintel – a concrete section above a door or window opening, L-shaped – rather like a boot.

Composite lintel – not dissimilar to a boot lintel, formed in steel and concrete.

Soldier course – usually seen above a door or window opening, where bricks are laid vertically and not horizontally.

SUSSEX LOCAL Voussoir – a wedge-shaped brick or stone section, often used at the head of a brick archway.

Camber arch, segmental arch, drop arch, centre arch – all forms of archway, often seen above windows and doorways.

Lime mortar – a traditional mix of lime, sand and water used in older buildings to form bed joints in brickwork.

Portland cement – a mixture of clay and limestone, all burnt and the resulting clinker crushed and bagged. First commercially produced in the 1920s.

Pediment – the decorative triangular area of a gable end, often seen in classical architecture and typically supported by columns.

Purlin – the horizontal beam seen on the inside of a cut roof frame, typically in a 1930s house.

Flitch beam – a composite supporting beam incorporating a steel plate, sandwiched between two timber sections and bolted together.

String – the diagonal timber affixed to the wall in a stair construction.

Firring piece – a section of timber laid horizontally above flat roof joists to give the roof a slight gradient in order to discharge storm water.

Bird’s mouth – a joint in timber roof construction where rafters meet wall plate.

Bury School A visit from the BBC Only a few weeks in and it is as though the Reception children have been with us for years. They have all settled brilliantly and already been cooking in the kitchen, digging in the sand pit and exploring the woods with Mr Gatrell.

The amazing remembrance work I told you about last month grew even bigger than expected. With children from both St James and Dorset House invited to join in making a poppy of remembrance alongside local villagers; there was no doubting the community feel to the whole event. Fr Peter had also invited Bishop Mark from Horsham to join with us all; he was brilliantly taught by two of our children from Bury and the rest of Buzzard Class did a great job teaching all of the other visitors.

Not only that, but the BBC heard what we were doing and decided to come and film the work for the morning. Both Fr Peter and Mrs Braun were interviewed alongside a selection of children from Buzzard Class.

Allen Sinclair from BBC South Today was brilliant with the children and staff and managed to get the piece edited and on the TV the same evening. He is also keen to see the next stage and the actual ‘planting’ of the poppies so Mrs Braun will be working with Buzzards to film this themselves and send it in to him.

In the same week as the poppies we also had the second part of our exchange visit with Somerleyton Primary School.

SUSSEX LOCAL Our two schools were chosen as a pilot project looking first-hand at the geographical differences of two of our National Parks, The Broads and South Downs.

Bury took the lead and Mrs Braun, Mrs Clark, Mr Gatrell and Jonathan Dean from SDNP headed off to the Broads with Buzzard Class.

The children had a brilliant time exploring the different habitat and geography of this part of the UK. Two weeks later and it was the turn of Somerleyton to join us in their school’s first ever residential. They were taught all about the landscape of the Downs before heading off up to Bignor Hill to have a go at our school walk and experience the (as one child described it) ‘mountains’ we have here.

Coldwaltham School Outdoor Adventures

The oldest pupils at St James’ Primary School in Coldwaltham joined together with the children of Amberley Primary School on an Outdoor and Adventurous Activities Course. Both schools visited the PGL Site at Osmington Bay near Weymouth where they took part in a range of activities which they would not normally be able to do at school.

They experienced the highs of the Giant Swing, Abseiling towers and climbing walls and the lows of crawling through tunnel trails. They learnt the skills of archery and mountain biking and how to work as a team to complete the low ropes course. Evening activities included ambush and a campfire on the beautiful beach of the Jurassic coast.

However, the hidden agenda of the visit was to enable the pupils and teachers from both schools to get to know each other and work together. With the local authority strategy keen to promote collaboration between schools, Amberley and Coldwaltham Schools are a shining example as to how schools can successfully work together. The teachers at both schools plan together and share resources and the children of both schools work closely on shared topics and even have a united sports teams.

To find out more about St James’ School in Cold-

waltham, please explore the school’s website or make an appointment to come and look around. St James’ School’s catchment area is not limited to the village of Coldwaltham, indeed a large percentage of our pupils come from Pulborough to experience learning in a small village school in the South Downs National Park. www.st-marys-pulborough.w-sussex.sch.uk

46 Pets

Paws for thought It must be love Animal companionship is an integral part of life in the UK, with the PDSA Paw Report 2017 recording that 51% of Dr Julian Hoad households now own a pet.

Many pet owners see their pets as a valued member of the family and simply enjoy the unconditional love that pets bring all year round.

For the love of the pet is what gets us up in the cold mornings to walk the dog or feed the cat. The joy of companionship is given without restraint from our pets and helps to keep us happy. The excited face of a non-judgemental pet can help the stresses of a bad day melt away. The love for a pet can help teach responsibility to children and that unconditional love in return is one of a best friend.

Show your love Pets make us laugh, keep us company and can even improve our physical health and wellbeing; helping to lower blood pressure and relieve stress. But, as with any successful relationship, love is a two way street and keeping pets happy and healthy is, without a doubt, the best way to show them love.

The importance of playtime Just like humans, pets need mental stimulation and exercise. Playing with pets is a great way to achieve both at once, whilst strengthening the bond between pet owner and pet. Playtime doesn’t need to involve buying mountains of expensive toys, undivided attention will be enough to get tails wagging as social interaction is very important, especially for rabbits, who should normally have a companion.

Tip top health Keeping up to date with vaccinations and parasite treatment will help to keep pets in good shape, whilst regular health checks with a vet are an opportunity to identify potential issues before they become a problem, such as maintaining a healthy weight.

More exercise and less treats Obesity is a welfare problem for our pets and can lead to real health problems. Keeping them at the correct weight with an appropriate diet and plenty of exercise will keep them healthier for longer and the extra walks will help you too.

Cooking oils

By Heather Smith, Personal Trainer Cooking oil. It’s the base of most of our meals, yet something we don’t speak about often.

A quick look down the cooking oil aisle in the supermarket provides a huge array of varieties to choose from. What’s the best one to choose?

The first one to knock off the list are spray oils. Honestly, if you’re cooking a meal for two, a teaspoon of fat (about 40 calories and 4g fat) is all you need. Saving 18 calories by switching to a 2 calorie spray is really not going to make much of a dent in your weight loss quest!

Some of the sprays are just one ingredient and I suppose one could argue that there is some benefit to reducing your intake by 18 calories if you’re desperate, but other sprays contain various ingredients which your body really isn’t going to be much of a fan of.

My vote for cooking oil goes to saturated fat. It’s a simple, high temperature withstanding fat. Goose fat, duck fat, meat drippings, avocado oil, butter and coconut oil are all good examples. I’m not suggesting you use gallons of these fats, but they are a better

choice health-wise than the processed or complex fats one might feel obliged to choose. A teaspoon of duck fat goes a long way – and its full of minerals the meat lost during cooking.

There are a huge amount of health benefits to a good quality, well-lookedafter, extra virgin olive oil; just keep it to have cold on your salads as it doesn’t do well at high temperatures.

As for vegetable oils – sunflower, rapeseed, palm, groundnut and the like – these are best avoided.

They have a high potential to turn rancid, they’re high in omega 6 which isn’t something most of us need to eat more of, and they are more and more being linked with obesity, heart and brain health issues.

There has been some research linking vegetable oils to cancer too; products containing palm oil which are heated above 392 degrees during processing have been shown to contain potential carcinogens. If you must use these oils, use them very occasionally, very sparingly and don’t get them too hot.

Computer Care Why does it say ‘Site not Secure’?

by Alan Stainer

Some of you may have noticed your web browser (Google Chrome in particular) has started displaying a slightly alarming message about websites not being secure. It happens when the site you are visiting starts with http instead of https. The difference between the two is that with https the connection between you and the website is encrypted, while http is basically plain text being transmitted between the two. In theory if you have an insecure internet connection (public WiFi for example), someone could be snooping around on the network and getting access to your data. That includes your bank card details. Don’t be scared and stop visiting plain old http websites just yet though. It only really matters if you are logging into a website or inputting sensitive information. There are a lot of small businesses that have not yet switched to https, but if all you are looking for is a phone number or contact email, then you shouldn’t have a problem. If you have a website yourself and want an SSL certificate (that’s what makes it https), then it’s dead easy to get it sorted with your host. Some hosts even provide an SSL certificate for free. www.alansitsolutions.com

Coldwaltham News Edited extracts from the draft minutes of Parish Council meeting on 11th September 2018.

Chairman’s Report Alban Head playing fields have been used extensively over the summer months, cricket, football and families using it for picnics.

Silverdale is expected to complete soon, the first people are due to move in on the 4th October, currently the final landscaping is happening.

Recently the Youth Club Hut has been completely cleared out of all the contents, shortly the asbestos and services will be removed, and the hut demolished. He noted that it was the same people helped with the clear out, as those who have been involved with running the YC over the years. Looking forward this is now the time of opportunity for those who wish to set up a new youth club, or other new venture appealing to the young people in the area.

SDNPA Local Plan Hearings Invitation to appear at hearings which are scheduled to begin on 13th November at Midhurst. This is an opportunity to bring to the attention of the Inspector any issues which have changed since the Parish put in their submission. As the inspector does not want to hear the same evidence we need to ensure, that if we do wish to speak, we have new points to raise: Firstly, the number of sites made available has in-

SUSSEX LOCAL creased to four, three were mentioned before, but the other being the Lodge Hill site. SDNPA still wish to pursue the Brookview site over these other sites.

Secondly, the SDNPA have as part of the proposed site, shown plans to develop two hectares, the other six were being left undeveloped. SDNPA have since clarified that this will be used as an ecological site and removed the initial plans to include a car park in the undeveloped area. Changes have been made very recently to the design.

Youth Club – A member noted that in her view there is nothing catering for the many older children in the parish. It was suggested that she should be in contact and support any groups wishing to set up new provision for young people in the parish.

Swing Park at Brookview is looking awful. Cllr Nelson advised that this is not new and that the PC had, in the past, tried to take this on without success. It is managed by the landlord of the housing association.

A29: The Department of Transport, after consultation with WSCC, plan to create a new Major Road Network. A major change within this is that the A29, currently designated a Local Lorry Route, it is recommended to become a National Heavy Goods Vehicle Route. This parish, unlike other villages, doesn’t already have a bypass: e.g. Billingshurst. Who at district knew about it? Members highlighted potential issues at the Hardham Railway bridge. www.coldwalthampc.org.uk

Pulborough Parish Council

Extracts from the draft minutes of the Parish Council meeting held on 20th September 2018 Potential sale of Council land The item previously proposed on availability of Council owned land being developed in order to fund the Sports Pavilion rebuild project etc. had been investigated by the Clerk as requested. As anticipated, the recreation ground was under covenant to Fields in Trust, which protects it for recreational use and any appropriation or disposal requires FIT's approval, therefore, this item had been withdrawn.

Hanging basket extra watering costs Due to prolonged drought conditions and the absence of the Council's Groundsman, under delegated authority to avoid disruption of a Council service, the Clerk had appointed Sussex Land Services) to water the Council's hanging baskets for 10 days. This was done to protect the Council's original investment cost of enhancing the village main route but meant an additional cost to the Council of £350 excluding VAT. Additional Bus Shelters cost overrun The Clerk pointed out that the approximate cost of £5,000 originally approved by Council in June had subsequently increased to a total cost of £14,382.50 + VAT for all 3 shelters. However, S106 funding was being applied for which it was hoped would reimburse the cost (excl. VAT) anyway.

SUSSEX LOCAL Church Hill Traffic A resident of Church Hill spoke to Members about the serious concerns he had regarding the traffic issues at Church Hill, and particularly the problems of lorries/heavy vehicles negotiating the narrow pinch-point at the top of the hill. He was especially concerned at the Government proposals to upgrade the road to a Major Road Network and urged the Council to take some form of action to prevent this.

The Chairman responded that his comments would be considered as part of the agenda item on this latter later in the meeting. Members had received a copy of the resident's letter to the Council as part of correspondence. County Cllr Arculus also spoke with the resident about the issue.

Sports Pavilion Rebuild.

Tentative enquiries being made about costs of alternative construction such as timber frame, and one of the sports pavilion user groups was researching other cheaper alternative building cost provision. The general view from the last few meetings was that the Council would have to 'cut its cloth accordingly' to a revised £1m budget that was potentially accessible, since the £2m outline proposals for the project were not now considered achievable. www.pulboroughparishcouncil.gov.uk
