'The Consequence of Choice' - a novel

Every woman has the right to decide her own destiny

Ten years after the world took drastic action to rein in overpopulation, Elspeth suspects she is pregnant illegally after a brief, alcohol fuelled fling with Nick. Even procuring a test to confirm it would be risky.

As Elspeth tries desperately to keep her condition hidden from the authorities, a female detective becomes convinced something illicit is going on and tries to resuscitate her own troubled career by pursuing this lawbreaker.

But behind the scenes, two people are determined to come to Elspeth’s aid. One is someone close to her who has a secret. The other is someone she would never have expected. Now, as danger closes in, how far will they go to keep Elspeth and her unborn baby safe?

In Your Garden

Monthly gardening ideas & tasks by Andrew Staib of Glorious Gardens

Sussex Bees

Bees are the golden angel engines of nature. Under severe threat from our agricultural practices, you can provide them a safe haven in your garden or even better, get yourself a bee box and groovy white outfit! Almost 90% of wild plants and 75% of leading global crops depend on animal pollination. One out of every three mouthfuls of our food depends on pollinators. Crops that depend on pollination are five times more valuable than those that do not.

The solitary bee (Halictus eurygnathus), thought to be extinct, has been discovered after 76 years at seven sites in Sussex!

Remarkable bee facts:

• They pollinate 76% of the world’s crops and add £690m to the UK economy each year.

• Every year a hive can produce up to 11kg of honey, and to produce just half a kg they fly up to 55,000 miles to find the flowers!

• Honeybees have a dance move called the ‘waggle dance’ a clever way of communicating to hive mates where to go to find the best source of food. It took researchers at Sussex University two years to decode the waggle dance. The bees can indicate where the best flowers are up to 6km away.

• There are over 250 UK species of bee but are under threat from crop spraying and loss of habitat. There can up to 75% more bees on an organic farm, due to the lack of insecticide spraying.

Families and species of bee

There are six different bee families found in Sussex. The Colletidae bee is one of the most species rich families within the clade Anthophila, holding roughly 2,000 species. The Andrenidae are medium sized solitary mining bees. The females excavate tunnels in the soil that branch off to individual cells that the female stocks with pollen balls and nectar, on which she lays her eggs. There may be one or two generations per year. The Halictidae are one of the six bee families in the order Hymenoptera. They are often referred to as sweat bees as they are attracted

dant than most bees with the exception of Apis (honey bee) species.

Melittidae bees are short tongued. Megachilidae bees nest in beetle borings in dead trees in the wild, and these can be mimicked to provide a place for them to nest. The Apidae are the largest family within the superfamily Apoidea, containing at least 5,700 species of bees. The family includes some of the most commonly seen bees, including bumblebees and honey bees, but also includes stingless bees (also used for honey production), carpenter bees, orchid bees, cuckoo bees, and a number of other less widely known groups. Many are valuable pollinators in natural habitats and for agricultural crops.

Beekeeping

If you're looking to share your love for bees, why not join the West Sussex Beekeepers Association. There are four divisions; Central Sussex, Chichester, Wisborough Green and Worthing so depending on where you live in the county you won’t be too far from one. If you are new to the world of bees this is the association to join, they offer support in a variety of ways. If you plan to start beekeeping you should attend their apiary meetings, this is where you will learn how to correctly handle bees.

A word of caution here: Honeybees tend to take away habitats and food from UK native bees so while they are important, if you wish to help with wildlife conservation, try building more homes for native bees.

Sussex has six different bee families

season: Lavender, Teasels, Hawthorn, Heather, Sedums, Rosmary and Honeysuckle.

Double flowering plants like Roses and Dahlias are either hard to penetrate or very poor in nectar for bees.

What should you do if you see a bee that appears to be struggling?

It may be that it is just resting, particularly if the bee is a queen in early spring. If you think the bee is struggling the best thing to do is gently put the bee onto a bee friendly flower. If there are no bee friendly flowers around, mix 50/50 white sugar and water to give the bee a one off energy boost, providing the carbohydrates it needs to fly. Simply offer a drop or two of sugar water up to the front end of the bee on a teaspoon or an upturned drinks cap in a sheltered place and allow the bee time to recuperate.

Where to go in October

Plenty of bees at the Knepp estate. Isabella Tree’s pioneering work to rewind a part of West Sussex. You can turn up at the car park (before 5.30pm) and you will be given a map of the rewilded areas. Knepp Estate, West Grinstead, Horsham RH138L, call 01403 7412235.

October tasks

• Move plants around or plant up new ones. The soil is still warm the roots to establish but there is less chance of the plants drying out.

• Divide most Perennials including Rhubarb and balance up your garden by taking the other half to a different place.

• You can still plant lettuce and can start sowing Chinese winter greens and Spring Cabbage.

• Start repairing your lawn now with the cooler weather, either using pre grown turfs or seeding into prepared earth.

• Start lawn treatment this month with aerating using a strong fork and raking out moss and thatch.

• Cut back shrubs like Buddlea and Lavatera to about half their height to neaten them up and prevent strong winter winds rocking them about more fundamental pruning happens in Spring

• Order and plant bulbs.

How to get started

After joining the West Sussex Beekeepers Association and attending their meetings you need to decide where you want to keep your bees. Good places are; in your garden, on a roof and at a nearby apiary.

Don’t worry if you’re concerned about the cost of equipment to get up and running. The association offers secondhand equipment so you are able to get started quickly. You will need to get; a hive, hive frames with a wax foundation, a one piece bee suit, gloves and wellington boots for basic personal protection, a smoker, a hive tool, and a nucleus.

Local Sussex honey has many benefits: it is rich in antioxidants and it's traditionally used to help relieve coughs and colds. Like all honey, it has antiseptic qualities and can be used on small cuts and grazes. And there is nothing like fresh white bread, butter and your own honey dripping down the sides.

What plants will attract Sussex bees?

The Allium siculum, has a very unusual appearance which drips nectar that is very popular amongst bees, in particular the red tailed bumblebees. Apple trees are favoured by queens

during April and May and crab apples tend to draw them in the most due to their fragrant and attractive flowers.

Aquilegia, Penstemon and Foxgloves have their nectar at the end of their very long tubes which means long tongued bees, such as Bombus hortorum bees will visit.

If you're wanting an easy to grow plant the Borage plant is the one for you. It attracts short tongued bumblebees and honeybees with its rich, sweet nectar and you can use the petals to spice up your salads. Early Spring bulbs help in the early months, and then garden favourites can feed them for the rest of the growing

Allium sisulum drips nectar, bees love it!

Heating our homes sustainably

By Nick Roberts RMR Group

Rising costs and heatwaves

The way we heat our homes is changing. Going green was always on the agenda but the sudden rise in costs and macro economic factors are turning a steady transition toward sustainable domestic heating into an accelerated game of chess as we move away from international dependence.

After a record setting summer of heatwaves and temperatures, the impact of those price rises hasn’t been fully felt yet. However, we know they’re waiting for us this winter, so the annual game of ‘who can wait the longest before putting the central heating on’ will be more competitive than ever.

Benefits of Air Source Heat Pumps

It’s not all doom and thermostat games, the government wants to phase out oil and gas boilers to help reach their target of carbon net zero by 2050. They’ve opened a new grant for installing Air Source Heat Pumps to get the initiative underway.

Air Source Heat Pumps are the eco friendly alternatives to traditional boilers. These green replacements use a combination of outside air and

refrigerant to transfer heat indoors and are one of the most efficient ways to heat your home.

With the cost of oil and gas increasingly straining budgets, the incentives of switching to Air Source Heat Pumps are looking more attractive. Running costs far lower than what you'd pay for a al heating system, and the set between them is only headed in one direction.

Replacing traditional boilers

With the government’s goal to make heating more efficient by 2035, the £5k Renewable Heat Incentive grant scheme came into play. The grant makes the process more affordable, bringing the cost inline and comparable to replacing traditional boilers.

If your boiler has had better days, you want to reduce monthly heating bills or you want to do your part for the environment, installing an Air Source Heat Pump might be a good place to start.

The dos and don’ts of home decor

Guide to the basics of decorating your home by Helen Say

Planning how to decorate your home

We're used to seeing “before and after” shots of home renovations in magazines or online. Although it might look easy, a lot of thought and planning will have gone into making the space work. Decorating your home can be daunting, putting coherent schemes together can be anything from tricky to terrifying. Decorating is all about the things you do; the colours you pick, the furniture you love and the accents you choose to finish the space. Decorating is also about what you don't do, as you may need to undo it later.

Do think about how you use the space

While it’s nice to have a beautiful home, it also needs to be practical. Think about how you use rooms, if you have children/pets and whether you entertain a lot or prefer nights in.

Do remember the mantra ‘less is more’

Subtle accessories and accents are more tasteful than trying to fill a room with things in the same colour/print. Once a room starts to look cluttered, stop filling it or add storage space.

Property of the month

Do make a budget

It’s easy to get carried away when decorating. Make a budget and stick to it, decide which elements are most important and which you can do without. Don’t choose the wall colour first

When remaking a room, never choose wall colour first. Paint/ wallpaper is available in thousands of colours and can be easily changed. Choose expensive items first and build a colour palette around them. Don’t stick to one colour

A colour theme is a good way to pull your home together. However, an entire room with matching walls, carpet and furnishings will make the space feel claustrophobic and old fashioned.

Don’t opt for style over comfort

There are a lot of items that look great but are uncomfortable or impractical. Think about how you're going to use the piece before purchasing.

The right approach to moving

Henry Adams proud of Feefo customer service Platinum Award

Buying or selling a property is said to be among the most stressful things to cope with. Chains, searches that uncover restrictive covenants, gazumping can all block even the most straightforward deal. Utilising the services of a professional and knowledgeable estate agent can go a long way towards alleviating some of the pitfalls.

Gareth Overton (pictured above), Head of Sales at Henry Adams Estate Agency, has 20 years experience in residential sales and spoke to Sussex Local about their approach. Effective marketing he said, is a key priority in helping clients to find their ideal property or sell to their best advantage.

He explained that the highly trained team will progress a sale or purchase from the start to exchange and completion which is often the trickiest part but vital for a successful outcome.

Henry Adams was founded in 1990 by the late Henry Adams, in partnership with Simon Lush who is still a consultant with them today. As well as property sales and lettings, Gareth told us that the company provides a range of other services including domestic and commercial property valuations, development land agency, rural and farming consultancy and advice on the management of equestrian property.

Gareth is immensely proud of his team “they are simply great!” and he is confident that consistent dedication to customer service is the key to continued success in the future. “We continue to streamline our processes behind the scenes so that we can focus on what matters most to our customers. Everything we invest in is designed to help our clients or our teams, as you can see from all our reviews on Feefo where we’ve received the Platinum Award for consistent excellence in customer service.”

Fifty years of a family run business

Traditional values, contemporary styles

Having an independent business established over 50 years is no mean feat and Kevin Meeten the managing director of Funnells Furnishings in Storrington was happy to provide Sussex Local with a brief history. Brian Funnell and his father Joseph started the business in 1958 with Brian’s son Stephen joining later and managing the company for many years until retiring in 2019. Brian and Margaret's daughter Sharon now manages the business along with Kevin who joined the firm over 40 years ago. Brian and Margaret, who recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary, remain active as directors.

Kevin emphasised that the traditional values have not changed and the firm is still committed to providing high quality, reasonably priced carpets and flooring, all types of blinds, made to measure curtains, re upholstery and household linens.

They mainly supply the domestic market and the store carries a sizable stock of soft furnishings, rugs, paints, poles/tracks and wallpaper. Their own trusted craftsmen and women and carpet fitters maintain high standards so that customers can rely on the quality of the work. Naturally there have been major changes throughout the retail market over the past 50 years. Whilst the firm has made adaptations to improve efficiency and adjust to shifting customer preferences, Kevin is confident that the basic principles of providing excellent levels of quality and service, along with their unrivalled levels of experience, continue to contribute to their success.

Targets to help with weight loss

By Heather Smith

When we’re aiming to lose weight and improve our health and fitness, there are very few absolutes. But, below I’m going to share some good general targets you could put in place to get started. The reason we look at all of these areas is because they all link together. For example, it’s no use encouraging you to prepare meals from scratch if you’re already rushing around all day and likewise, it’s not going to be beneficial to suggest you get up earlier to fit in a workout if you’re not sleeping well. Achieving most of these targets will improve your life and quite possibly make it last longer too!

1. Aim to get two to four full body resistance workouts in every week. Any type of resistance will work (even your own bodyweight!).

2. Aim to get one or two faster, interval type, workouts in every week. Pick any activity you enjoy, be it walking, running, swimming, skipping.

3. If you’re not already reaching 10,000 steps per day try to get closer to that each week.

4. Eat at the very least 1g protein per kilo of your bodyweight. This will keep you feeling satisfied and reduce food cravings as well as helping to maintain and gain precious muscle.

5. Get your five a day (at least). The fibre will help to keep you full, and the nutrients are crucial too.

6. Drink a good litre of water a day to be sure any food cravings aren’t just thirst in disguise.

7. Get at least 7 hours of good quality sleep every night to help your body function at its best, and to avoid food cravings caused by tiredness. www.fitbiztraining.co.uk

Identifying causes of eczema

Treating individual symptoms by Clare Caldecott

Varying causes of Eczema

Eczema is a condition that causes the skin to become itchy, dry and cracked. Atopic eczema is more common in children, often developing before their first birthday. But it may also develop for the first time in adults.

Causes vary and include, extended exposure to dry air, extreme heat or cold. Types of soap, shampoo, bubble bath, body wash, facial cleansers, laundry detergents and fabric softeners.

Emotional stress can also trigger an eczema flare up. Some people’s eczema symptoms and flare ups get worse when they’re “stressed.” Others may become stressed, just knowing they have eczema, and this can make their skin flare up.

Chronic eczema caused bleeding hands

Jean had a chronic form of eczema on her hands which caused bleeding. She took to wearing cotton gloves and used a prescribed cream but nothing helped. Looking at her diet it was clear what she was eating was of significance. The approach we took was two fold. Cook fresh foods, not foods that comes in a packet and she

also took a herbal remedy to cleanse her liver and probiotics to help with gut flora. It took 8 weeks for her hands to recover which having suffered for 10 months was such a relief.

We are all individuals and should be treated as such. If you need help with your health then give Clare a call to discuss your situation. Clare: 07717 281604 / www.uknaturalhealthclinics.com

Can volunteering really improve your mental health and employability?

It is no secret that volunteering your time and energy benefits the chosen organisation, association or group enormously, but did you know that volunteering will also boost your mental health and make you more appealing to potential employers? Amy Henkel, a Beaver Scout leader from Sussex explains how the simple act of volunteering at her son’s Beavers group provided her with a new lease of life after the struggles she experienced during the Covid pandemic.

A study published in the international peer reviewed Journal of Happiness Studies found that people who volunteered were actually more satisfied with their lives versus those who didn’t volunteer. Those who reported volunteering at least once a month experienced improved mental health benefits.

“I can personally vouch for this” says Amy. “I started the year incredibly stressed following the demands of home schooling while maintaining my career, but volunteering helped me find an outlet where fun andenjoymentwere key.”

Amy says that Scouting is very active and working with youngsters will definitely keep you fit both mentally and physically. “With Beavers starting at six years of age and Scouts going up to age 14 you can be assured that this is an active and energetic volunteering opportunity. From hiking to pioneering, fire lighting to camping, astronomy to kayaking the breadth of scouting is only as narrow asyour imagination!”

Currently one of the Storrington Scouts groups may be forced to close, leaving 14 young people without a group. If you would like to discuss how you might help, please contact Stuart Coggan by email on stuartc@storringtonscouts.org.uk

Providing a lifeline for local families facing tough times

Struggles of parenting

When Dawn was first referred to Home Start Arun, Worthing & Adur (AWA) by social services, neither she nor her two year old daughter, Betsy, spoke. So mentally traumatised by previous abuse, Dawn was self harming and found it hard to interact with Betsy in any way. As a result, Betsy had been referred to a speech therapist.

Being a parent can sometimes be lonely, frustrating, and overwhelming many struggling with the daily tasks of parenting, made more difficult by poor mental and physical health, living in unsuitable accommodation, multiple births, lone parenting, poverty, domestic abuse.

What they do

Home Start AWA supports local parents like Dawn through their most challenging times. A child’s early years are critically important, they build a foundation upon which all their later learning, behaviours and health depend. Early intervention resulting in positive outcomes for vulnerable children is well documented and Home Start knows that children do best when they are cared for by their parents and parents get the help they need.

All the volunteers have parenting and/or grandparenting experience and are fully trained, DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked and matched carefully to provide families with children under 5 years of age, with free, practical, emotional, non judgemental, weekly 1 2 1 support in their home, or on the phone.

Some families attend one of the weekly Family Groups, providing opportunity to meet other families in a low pressure environment. They are a steppingstone building confidence to meet new people and access other services.

From introvert to chatterbox

Dawn attended one of these groups and over time, with support from volunteers and staff, she eventually stopped self harming, learned to interact with Betsy and no longer needs specialist input from health services.

Dawn says, “Due to Home Start’s support, I now have a wonderful bond with my daughter, and am completely aware of the impact my mental health has on her. I’m now more aware of my triggers and when the right time is to ask for help.”

The Group Volunteer says, “From being a quiet and introverted child, she is now cheerful, inquisitive and talks constantly! We role modelled positive interactions which Dawn noticed, and we’ve seen her grow in confidence as a mum. Their relationship is now much closer and more fun. It’s wonderful to see!”

Home Start volunteers support parental mental health and wellbeing, vital to enable bonding, language development and socialisation with their children. Their support allows parents to feel less consumed with adult issues and refocus on their children’s wellbeing, enabling them to better provide a safe and nurturing home, giving their children the best possible start in life.

The challenges local families face

Since the pandemic and the current cost of living crisis, life has become tougher for so many more local families. Last year Home Start supported 172 families and 414 children, but they have already seen a 25% increase in referrals since the beginning of this year.

Many of the children they help are living in poverty. 30% of the families referred last year lived in four of the Lower Super Output Areas which are in the top 10% most deprived areas in the UK.

An increasing number (over half) report facing financial difficulties. Volunteers now provide more practical support, including help with

Every address every month

the household budget, foodbank vouchers, providing milk, nappies and clothes. A quarter live in unsuitable accommodation and staff support with benefit and housing applications. Last winter, they supported a family escaping domestic violence, living in their car during the day, providing them with clothes, food and blankets.

After the closure of many Children & Family/ Young People's Centres across West Sussex, families are telling Home Start they feel without a 'place' in which to meet other parents and engage with support staff.

Due to the pandemic, many primary schools confirm an increase in children starting school without the basic skills to help them succeed dressing/toileting independently. Many were denied the opportunity to mix with others and have limited communication skills and ability to socialise and play.

Last year, over ¾ of referred parents were experiencing mental health difficulties.

During the pandemic Home Start introduced Buggy Walks with volunteers and their families proving good for mental health fresh air, exercise, play time essential for children. They also started an in house therapeutic counselling service for parents facing mental health difficulties impacting on their ability to parent.

Who refers families to Home Start AWA

Only 36% of parents self refer, and a wide range of professionals refer families to Home Start including West Sussex Family Support Services, health visitors, midwives, mental health, and social services, West Sussex Coastal Mind, and domestic abuse support services.

Sarah was first referred to Home Start AWA by Carers Support. She was really struggling to cope. At 31, her partner Simon had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Simon had to give up his job, Sarah became his carer and, whilst having to hold down a full time job,

they discovered Sarah was pregnant. She became anxious, exhausted, overwhelmed, and worried about how they would cope financially. A beautiful baby girl was born but Sarah experienced several infections afterwards and Simon was unable to provide practical help or hold his daughter for any length of time.

Over time, with 1 2 1, non judgemental, confidential practical and emotional support from their Home Start volunteer Lizzie, the family are in a much better place.

Sarah says; “It’s been a challenging journey but support from Lizzie has given me space to breathe and has contributed to my mental health, keeping my head just above water, allowing me to be the mum that I want to be. I’m looking forward

to going back to work. Lizzie has been an essential part of my recovery and I’m not sure where I would be without her support.”

Previous and future events and Community Link

August free fun day

At the end of August we held a free fun day at the leisure centre and it was really good to see all the families and young people that went along. The climbing wall was the most popular attraction and there were queues for most of the day. We would like to thank all the agencies for their support, the leisure centre, HDC roadshow and everyone who helped to make the day a success. We are already starting to plan next year’s and are actively looking for sponsors, so keep the end of August 2023 free.

Dog behaviourist event

We held another dog behaviourist event at Sullington Warren in September. Again, a big thanks to Bone Canis, Gatley’s Pet Stores, the National Trust, The Dog Stylist, Arun Veterinary Group, Sussex Police, Pets at Home, the Kennel Club and Steyning Camera Club. The event was to make people aware of their responsibilities and give advice on issues they might have with their dog. We’re hoping to repeat the event in spring 2023.

Supporting the community

As the year goes on and the cost of living rise starts to bite, be assured that if you need help or advice you can talk to us. We will signpost you to a confidential agency that will be able to help.

We are hoping to start our Community Link checks again and will be coming round to check Link Alarms and smoke detectors. If you know a neighbour that needs a welfare check, give us a call, or chat with us when we‘re in the village.

Pre-paid probate plans

By Will Writer Emma Wells MIPW

As a Fellow of the Institute of Professional Will writers who also sits on the council I thought that it would be appropriate to elaborate on the recent statement on pre paid probate plans and why the plans are not supported by the professional body.

Pre paid probate plans are sold under the guise of protecting your estate from rising probate costs in the future, however, the plans just appear to be ‘plucking numbers’. In real terms, the cost of setting up a pre paid probate plan (I’ve seen figures for between £2,500 and £7,500) far exceeds the actual current cost of obtaining a grant of probate and administering the estate and any realistic potential rise. You may remember that the attempt at increasing probate fees based on the size of the deceased estate was shot down in flames back in 2019. I can’t see an attempt at a price hike coming anytime soon and certainly not one of any real significance. The potential savings by using a pre paid probate plan are often wildly exaggerated by the plan providers when compared to actual cost of

the average probate administration fee.

When asked by our clients about probate at the Will drafting stage, we highlight to them that if they have chosen a competent lay person as executor, outside of the probate application fee the costs involved in settling an estate should be minimal. The STEP provisions allow lay executors to get help if needed; this means they are able to shop around and obtain fixed fee quotes and avoid a time costs quote. Whilst there absolutely is value in using a professional for probate administration, the costs incurred by the estate should not be excessive if using a professional who knows how to work efficiently, and these costs should be transparent in what they cover. Advising the public to spend thousands on an unregulated barely tested product, cannot be considered best practice. Whilst the funds are apparently ‘ring fenced’, due to the unregulated position the Financial Services Compensation Scheme provides you with no protection, should anything go wrong.

Updated swimming and Forest School facilities

The term has started swimmingly at St Marys! Over the Summer holiday period our changing rooms and pump room have been rebuilt and updated. All children are now able to participate in swimming on a weekly basis, using this super facility to learn this important life skill. Forest School facilities have also been enhanced with an outside canopy, which means we can continue to work outside more comfortably in all weathers. The Forest School activities take place in the meadow and tree land owned by the National Trust, which is adjacent to the school and for which we have permission to run this activity. We are fortunate to have made such investment

with both of these facilities to further enhance our curriculum at St Marys. October school tour dates We are holding school tours for families wishing to learn more about our school and its facilities. The tours are: Sat 1st Oct 10.30am, Tue 4th Oct 1.30pm, Tue 11th Oct 1.30pm and Wed 12th Oct 6pm.

Storrington Primary School

Starting school, tips for parents

For parents whose children start school in September it is an exciting time with lots to think about. Samira Stratford Storrington’s Head of Early Years and specialist lead in Education for Early Years has a few tips to help your child settle in and enjoy the start of their school journey:

• Talk with your child about starting school, share books about it and discuss what will be new

• Children often get very tired when they first start school. Make sure they have time to relax and rest after school and get to bed in good time

• Help your child become independent at school by encouraging them to have a go at getting dressed on their own and getting a bag ready to go out

• If your child has a packed lunch make sure they have healthy food they are used to eating and only give them the amount you feel confident they will be able to eat. Keep an eye on how much they eat and how hungry they are when they get home

Major Mindgames

• Find a regular time to share books together. Talk about numbers, shape, colours, letters that you see around your home or when out

• Ask questions that encourage your child to think and work out the answer to simple problems

• Finally there will be lots of outdoor learning so do ensure they have clothes suitable for all weathers!

Most children quickly settle into school life but should your child have a problem please don’t worry. Listen to your child, show them you care and help them find a solution. Speak to your child’s class teacher as soon as possible so you can find a solution together.

If you have any questions or queries please contact our school office 01903 742047. www.storringtonprimary.co.uk

Winter weather: prepare your car

By Nadia Goldsmith

October is the perfect time to prepare your car for winter weather so here are some useful tips to get you started this month.

Invest in winter tyres

Winter tyres work best at temperatures lower than 7 degrees Celsius, so are a wise investment for long winter months ahead. Indeed, they outperform conventional ‘summer’ tyres with improved traction, cornering grip and braking in unpredictable wintery conditions. Make sure to take time to check your tyres for tread life, wearing and sidewall cuts. If there are visible signs of extensive use, it is time for a change.

Check the battery

It’s worth checking on your car battery to ensure posts and cable connections are corrosion free, secured correctly and ensure fluid levels remain at the correct level. For detailed insights into the health of your car battery it may be worth booking your vehicle in with your trusted mechanic.

Check fluids

Look at your vehicle handbook to check the optimum oil viscosity you need in winter to avoid

unnecessary thickening and clogging in the system. Ensure your oil level is sufficient and not running low to avoid preventable engine problems.

Inspect all car lights

Replace burned out bulbs and make sure plastic headlight covers are free from scratches or haze to avoid unwanted effects on the brightness of incoming headlights. This will help to avoid difficult driving conditions this winter.

Build an emergency kit

Shovel/spade, road flares, flashlight, extra batteries, tyre inflation kit, jumper cables or battery booster. Preparation is a must for safe winter motoring.

Parish Councillor Vacancies

We have two councillor vacancies. If you would like to be involved in delivering local services and making decisions affecting your community, consider joining our team contact the Clerk.

Planning

Most new housing schemes in Horsham district remain held up by the need to meet 'water neutral' requirements, due to pressure on local resources. This situation seems likely to continue to at least the end of 2022. Several local planning proposals, e.g. the 25 house site at the ex Rushfield Nursery, are affected by this. The same issue is also delaying the production of a new Local Plan for housing in Horsham District. Construction of the last 75 house phase of the Abingworth development is underway and will run through to late 2023. There is no further news about the proposals for new homes at either the ex Rushfield Nursery site, or the site south of Furze Common Road, both of which the Parish Council has strongly objected to.

Monaghans Mushrooms closure latest

Following the recent closure we have followed up with Monaghans management. Monaghans intend to sell the site and potential buyers may include housing developers, although our Neighbourhood Plan specifically opposes housing on this site. HDC Planners have been alerted.

Roads

The Parish Council has asked WSCC Highways to consider reducing the speed limit on the B2139 north and south of the Picketty Corner junction with West Chiltington Road, due to the poor

sightlines there. If you spot a road safety issue, please report it to Highways direct via online at www.westsussex.gov.uk/roads and travel/

Community facilities Abingworth allotments

The new allotments are due be delivered mid 2023 and the waiting list for plots is still open contact the Clerk.

Ashington Parish Council

Parish yard tearoom, recruitment, volunteers & Ashington festival

The Parish Yard Tearoom project is on hold until HDC sort out Water Neutrality issues. At the Parish Yard there is a water connection, but we can’t use it, deeply frustrating.

However, the planning application to build a Parish Office cabin is being progressed as the Parish Council needs somewhere to store documents. After 17 years with the Parish Council, the Clerk is retiring at Xmas and all the documents that are in her loft and garage need a home.

Recruitment for a new Clerk is underway. If there is anyone out there that wants a part time, 18 hours per week job, then check out ashingtonpc.org.uk for details. It is a varied role one day you can be checking salt levels in grit bins, the next you’re writing a technical planning document. It’s like running a company admin, finance, marketing, public relations, HR, DIY etc. Never a dull moment.

The Parish Council is not linked to the Parish Church nor to the Ashington Community Centre. Many residents think they are all the same organisation. The Community Centre is run by a Board of Trustees and manages, on behalf of Ashington residents, the Recreation Ground and all community buildings in the area. If any resident wishes to help them then they are on the lookout for volunteers, more people will help them deliver more for the village.

Once again, the Ashington Festival takes place on the Recreation ground in August. Ashington is very lucky to have such a fantastic event. Margaret Alford BEM is at the forefront of organising this, but it could not happen without volunteers so if you have some time, either on the day, or during the year then please get involved.

Storrington & Sullington Parish Council

Mill Lane; Southern Water drainage consultation response

Edited extracts from draft minutes of the Parish Council meeting 31st August 2022. Mill Lane speeding County Councillor Marshall reported that he had recently attended a meeting with residents of Mill Lane to discuss recent accidents and incidents of poor driving on that road. He had confirmed his support for the residents’ application to reduce the speed limit to 20 mph and Councillors asked whether it was possible to submit non specific TRO requests so that the Highways Engineers could assess what traffic calming measures would be most appropriate for the individual areas. Cllr. Marshall confirmed that this assessment was part of the process.

Affordable School Uniforms. A councillor asked Cllr Marshall what action was being taken across schools in West Sussex. He will make enquiries.

Southern Water Drainage and Waste Water Management Consultation. District Councillor Grech was thanked for sharing her observations on Southern Water’s Draft Drainage and Waste Water Management Plan which will be used as a

base for the Parish Council’s response to this consultation.

Leisure Centre equipment. Members had been provided with a copy of the Centre Director’s plans to replace some of the gym equipment to ensure that the centre remains competitive and continues to offer state of the art facilities. The equipment to be replaced will be sold and whilst the proceeds from the sale will be paid to the Parish Council as the owners, it was agreed that these will be ringfenced for future improvements to the Leisure Centre.

Members also heard that the Centre Director had applied to HDC’s Community Climate Fund for a grant to replace the lights in the studio with more energy efficient LED fittings.

Storrington & District Museum leaflets. The walking trail leaflets (lottery funded) have now run out and it is proposed to join with Steyning for a combined leaflet. The Parish Council is being asked to contribute towards the Museum’s half of the cost of £539 and this was agreed.
