12 Local History
The Constable family and Arundel’s Swallow Brewery By historian Mark Phillips The Swallow Brewery (1880)
his estate. George Sefton is listed as the brewer at Arundel between the years of 1851-1887. In 1863 the Constables almost lost the brewery to a fierce fire started by a spark from the engine chimney igniting the thatched roof of the building. The heat was so intense that those manning the fire engine had to shield their faces with dampened sack cloth.
Until the mid-1930s the Swallow Brewery stood on a site that is now partly occupied by Caen Stone Court, the Co-op, the fish and chip shop and the betting shop, ending at the alley between Queen Street and Fitzalan Road, just before Martlett’s Court. It extended as far back as Fitzalan Road and even included the buildings across the other side of Fitzalan Road where Blastreat is now situated. It was truly a huge industrial beast of a complex for a small town such as Arundel. The Swallow Brewery, adorned with an enormous painted wooden Swallow as the factory emblem, appears to have been built in the 1840s by respected local man, Thomas Constable. George, Thomas’s son, learned his trade working with his father and eventually took over the day to day running of the brewery.
From 1900 the business is listed as George Constable & Sons and a limited company was formed in 1905. In 1922, this company merged with Henty Ltd from Chichester and formed Henty & Constable Brewers Ltd. Around this time all brewing was moved to the Henty brewery at Chichester and the Arundel site was used more as a storage depot by the company. The complex was sold in the mid/late 1930s and at the same time the wooden swallow was relocated to the roof of Arundel Town Hall. Base of the chimney can be seen at rear of Co-op
Brewery wagons in Queen Street
In 1834 George, who was already an amateur artist, was visited at Arundel by his friend the famous artist John Constable (no relation). John Constable’s last painting was of Arundel castle and the water mill (owned by George Constable) next to Swanbourne Lake believed to have been completed just prior to his death in March 1837. In this same year, it is reported that George Constable served as Mayor of Arundel and that his brewery was the owner of ‘at least’ five public houses in the town. In 1839, George is listed in a directory as a Brewer, Maltster and Wine and Spirit Merchant of Queen Street and Littlehampton and at the time owned separate Malthouses around the Arundel. Thomas Constable died in 1845 and named his son George and grandson George Sefton as executors of
Recently the largest remaining part of the former brewery, located at the rear of the Co-op, has come under threat from developers who want to demolish this fine red brick late-Victorian heritage building with its historic connection to the town, and erect 40-plus supported apartments for older people. Many residents would like to see the existing building, currently used by Blastreat Ltd, to be converted into apartments and for affordable housing to be built on the adjacent plot. A very active campaign group, AHA (Affordable Housing for Arundel) has already gathered hundreds of signatures opposing yet more housing for older people. Many of those born in the town have no choice but to move out of the town where they grow up because of unaffordable accommodation costs. I can’t say whether permission to demolish this fine building will go ahead. However, as a third-generation Arundel-born ‘Mullet’, I am proud to live in a town whose residents have a long tradition of standing together to support what they believe is right.

Baby & Toddler Group
Spring school trips
A new exciting initiative has been launched at Amberley Primary School and if you are a parent of a baby or toddler under the age of 5, you could benefit. The Toddler and Baby Group has been set up in Amberley School by Kate Beeson, a parent of a child at Amberley School. The group fills a much needed role in the local community for parents with young children and meets every Wednesday during term time between 9:30-11am in the school hall. There is a range of activities for the children to explore as well as time for parents to get together for a chat and to meet new parents in the community. There is a charge of £1 to cover the cost of refreshments, but other than that the group is free. Amberley Parish Council have very kindly donated £200 to the group enabling the purchase of art materials and toys. The group is proving to be hugely popular with parents and toddlers from as far afield as Arundel, Worthing, Storrington and Bury attending. Amberley Primary School is at the heart of its community and welcomes children from all surrounding towns and villages as there are no catchment area boundaries.
Goblin Car Race
Glenys Rowe, governor at Amberley School who helped to set up the group commented, “Activities have included Unicorn Play Dough and Unicorn Sensory Trays, plus lots of lovely toys, singing and dancing. Healthy snacks for the children and refreshments including delicious home made cakes for the adults were very popular.” On Wednesday 23rd May, the Toddler Group joined with the youngest class at Amberley School for a Teddy Bears’ Picnic. Toddlers and Parents brought teddy bears and enjoyed mixing with the school’s youngest pupils in a fun filled morning. Parents do not need to have children at Amberley School or live in the village to come. If you would like to come to the Toddler and Baby Group, just turn up at the school on a Wednesday morning at 9:30AM; everyone is welcome. Ofsted recently found Amberley Primary School to be “a welcoming, friendly and inclusive school where pupils are safe and settled”. All attending the Wednesday Toddler and Baby Group have been able to experience this welcome first hand. For more details visit the Amberley Toddler and Baby Group Facebook page @Amberleyschooltoddlergroup or phone Amberley School on 01798 831612.

At ACE we always try our best to provide a rich variation of opportunities for the children. One of these opportunities is the Goblin car race, which we participate in every year. It is organised by Greenpower Education Trust, a UK-based charity, which gets young people enthusiastic about science and engineering by challenging them to design, build and race an electric car. It is a project that is great fun that not only allows the children to learn about how to design and race a car, but also the importance of working as a team. We are also very lucky as a school to have many volunteers who support us, but particularly Mr Thornburg and Mr Grover who work closely with the children. The children in Year 5 enjoyed their first race day at Ford Airfield last month. The team did exceptionally well, especially at it was their first time to race around a real track, and reached the quarter finals. We are now looking forward to the next round, which is due to take place at Dunsfold Park, the Top Gear test track. As you can imagine, the children are very excited!
Sports Relief at ACE It was so lovely to see all the staff, children, parents, governors and visitors who came into ACE on Sport Relief day take part in some fun activities. Mrs Ward and Mrs Jones were simply amazing at organising the event and motivating the children and staff, and it was inspiring to see so many people take part in order to raise money for a great cause. We combined the day with a dress-down day where the children were invited to dress as their real-life sporting heroes. A special thanks to those parents who went that extra mile and made their children look really special for the event. www.arundelchurchofenglandschool.org.uk

Part of the Chichester community Yorkshire Building Society has been providing real help for real lives for more than 152 years. Whether it's helping young people to buy their first home or enabling older people to save for their family's future – we're there every step of the way. Since our agency opened at Award Mortgages Southern, on Crane Street, 18-months ago we have been proud to be part of Chichester's thriving and vibrant community. As a mutual building society, we pride ourselves on going a bit further for our members and supporting the causes that mean the most to them.
improve health and save lives can apply for donations of up to £2,000. The Chichester agency is supporting the Society's three-year partnership with End Youth Homelessness (EYH) - a national movement to end homelessness among 16-25-year-olds in the UK. An estimated 83,000 young people in the UK are homeless and, according to latest figures, 83 young people in Chichester received some homelessness support from their local authority in 2015/16.*
Every Yorkshire Building Society colleague has up to 31 hours' paid leave to help out at a charity or community group of their choice under our Volunteering scheme. So if you know a local cause that needs a helping hand let us know.
By the end of our partnership, in 2019, the Society hopes to have raised more than £750,000 to give 700 young people a home to call their own. They will also benefit from a home essentials grant to buy the basics they need, financial advice to enable them to manage their budget and dedicated support to help them build the life skills and confidence they need to lead successful and independent lives.
We're also keen to support local charities through our Charitable Foundation. It is funded by our members who donate the pennies on their annual interest through our Small Change Big Difference® scheme. Charities which work to alleviate poverty,

Sussex Snippets Sussex Police Force is the first in the country to use DDTROs, which stands for Drug Dealing Telecommunications Restrictions Orders to disrupt drug dealers. DDTROs were introduced in December 2017 under the Digital Economy Act to enable police to seek restrictions on handsets that they believe are being used by drug dealers to operate "deal-lines" to remote deal drugs, sometimes known as 'County Lines', in areas outside major cities. The new legislation gives the police the powers they need to ensure that telecommunication providers can shut down phone lines being used by organised crime gangs. The Community Minibus Association (West Sussex) is 100 percent volunteer run, operating a fleet of twelve minibuses from eight centres and helping almost 700 passengers travel from their own homes, to shopping centres, lunch outings and other places of interest. Membership is available to all ages, for people unable to reasonably use public or own transport; there are also Associate Group members, such as scout and girl guide groups, school groups, church groups, who are unable to fund their own vehicles or want to travel for the occasional social event. 01903 740282 info@westsussexminibus.org.uk www.westsussexminibus.org.uk

Road sign ‘Welcome to Climping’ Dear Editor, Just to let you know that a new sign - ‘Welcome to Climping’ - has been erected on the A259 coming from Littlehampton. I was sitting in traffic as three workers were erecting the sign. Just beneath the words ‘Welcome to Climping,’ the sign says: “please drive carefull.” Someone must have noticed the wrong spelling, where is quality control? What a waste of public money. I’m a teacher and adults have done this. I’ve tried mentioning this to Highways, but they’re not interested. Yours, Debbie, by email
St George’s Day Lunch A patriotic St George’s Day lunch took place in Arundel, in April, and helped to raise money for the Help for Heroes charity. The lunch was organised by Arundel resident Andy Batty and hosted in Arundel Town Hall. More than 80 guests gathered for the event, including Arundel & South Downs MP Nick Herbert. The event began with the local Scouts parade to the Cathedral for the St George’s Day service. A traditional roast beef lunch followed with classic songs performed by local musicians. An auction and raffle helped to raise further funds for the charity. www.helpforheroes.org.uk.

Dog Fouling I know a lot of residents are dog owners and passionate about their dogs. It has been written that there is no greater bond than that between a dog and it’s owner, but there are a number of irresponsible dog owners as evidenced by the number of dog fouling incidents in Arundel and surrounding villages. In a recent Arun press release it was stated that, “Arun has some prolific dog fouling problems in some places in the district”. A number of years ago East Hampshire District Council (EHDC) created a robust scheme where they would target Dog Fouling with extra officers, using fines received to fund the extra activity. They were so successful that they started to run out of culprits as the irresponsible dog owners started to change their behaviour. Last year, Arun made a unique agreement with EHDC whereby its enforcement officers would work for Arun. Arun’s Cabinet recently approved the Environment & Leisure Working Group recommendations to use these contracted Officers to enforce dog controls in the district, in addition to the existing enforcement of littering and dog fouling offences. The fine levels have also been adjusted for the first time in many years (£100 for dog offences, £80 for littering offences – both reduced if paid within fourteen days). There are additional controls for Dog Exclusion areas and ‘Dogs on a Lead’ areas -such as Jubilee Gardens, Arundel - to be enforced with Fixed Penalty Notices. Of course there is a fine balance in creating a regime that effectively punishes the guilty whilst giving the freedoms that we all enjoy; part of that is policy forming and the other half is the application of the enforcement, always a tricky issue and very subjective. We have similar issues in parking enforcement, ideally you want it to be effective but not “in your face”. Information on Dog Fouling can be found on Arun’s website, - www.arun.gov.uk/dogcontrol, via Social Media and leaflets can be picked up from Arun Civic Centre, Littlehampton. Also any queries may be sent to dog.wardens@arun.gov.uk Paul Dendle is one of your councillors for the Arundel & Walberton Ward. www.pauldendle.org

Win a copy of ‘The RAF Battle of Britain Fighter Pilot’s Kitbag’ The scenes are familiar ones; the young ‘Brylcream Boys’ sat at dispersal waiting for the haunting call of ‘Scramble’, lounging in their shirt sleeves and furlined boots, their leather flying helmets lying limp by their side. But what did the RAF fighter pilots of the Battle of Britain really wear, and what vital items would their kitbags have held? The casual attitudes of the pilots of Fighter Command in the Spitfire Summer of 1940 conceals a necessarily professional approach to their task of holding Hitler’s Luftwaffe at bay. Therefore, each item of clothing and equipment they wore and carried had a role and a function, be it for warmth and comfort, communication, or for fighting and survival. All the objects that an RAF fighter pilot was issued with during the Battle of Britain are explored in this book in high-definition colour photographs, showing everything from the differing uniforms, to headgear, personal weapons, gloves, goggles, parachute packs and the essential Mae West life jacket.

The Importance of Regular Reviews By Richard Cohen FPFS ACII MCSI Chartered Financial Planner Often, a client will contact me with a specific question; what is the most tax efficient way to invest my capital? Will my assets be protected if I die? What would the tax implications be if I draw a lump sum from my pension? Sometimes these questions are prompted by a change in legislation but most frequently they will arise from a change in the client’s circumstances. This could be as simple as a pay rise or something more significant such as getting married, having a child, being made redundant or receiving an inheritance. These events, as well as many others, will often require amendments to your financial planning. Some of these will be obvious but others may be overlooked. For example, did you review your life insurance last time you made amendments to your mortgage? Have you reviewed your old pensions since leaving a previous job? In most cases an overall review will highlight that there are adjustments that need to be made to realign a client’s financial plans with their objectives. This reinforces that one of the most important factors in financial planning is to regularly review a client’s situation, alongside their objectives.
Without regular reviews it is very easy for their finances to become detached from their objectives and therefore not serve the purpose they were originally set up for. One type of investment which tends to get overlooked more than others, is pensions. Many people feel that as long as they have a pension and are making monthly payments into it, then that is enough. However, regularly reviewing your pension can make a vast difference to your living standards in retirement. Increasing contributions, improving investment growth or making savings on charges, can all make a noticeable difference in retirement. By carrying out a review you will either establish what needs to be done to get your financial plans back on track or will confirm that no changes are required at that time. Either way this will give you peace of mind that you will be on course to meet your financial goals.

Boom Credit Union Ethical money lending by Lynn Smith Illegal money lending is big business. The press is full of stories of people who borrow a few hundred pounds from a friendly chap in their local pub only to find themselves owing disproportionately inflated sums and the friendly chap demanding money with extreme menaces. Figures can be horrific –someone borrowing £500 and being forced to pay £88,000, an interest rate of 2,500 percent. In 2004 the government set up the Illegal Money Lending Team (IMLT), to investigate and prosecute illegal moneylenders while protecting those who have borrowed money from a loan shark. Staggeringly, IMLTs in England have supported over 28,000 people and written off over £73.7 million in illegal debt. In April of this year, the government announced that it would be cracking down on illegal money lenders, making increased funding available to pay for investigations and prosecution of these lenders and support for their victims. Money already seized from these illegal lenders would be spent to encourage people at risk of being targeted by loan sharks to join a Credit Union. Cash would be made available to
Montague Street, Worthing official IMLTs and local Credit Unions working together to encourage residents to build up emergency savings funds while also making them aware of the dangers of borrowing from loan sharks. One such Credit Union serving the needs of West Sussex residents is Boom! Credit Union, which came about in 2016 as the result of a merger between West Sussex Credit Union, established in 2008 by West Sussex County Council, and SurreySave, seed financed by a number of Councils across the region. The merger created a larger, financially stronger organisation that could ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the Credit Union movement in West Sussex, Surrey and Kingston upon Thames. The imperative to create sustainable business models arose when Councils became unable to fully financially support Credit Unions.

A happy customer Andy Johnson the General Manager of BOOM! Credit Union, describes Boom as: “A not-for-profit organisation… we provide ethical savings opportunities and affordable loans to people that find it difficult to obtain credit from high-street lenders.” Boom! Credit Union has approximately 9,500
through the door
27
28 Charity Profile members, and has helped countless individuals through loans. Last year alone the organisation issued 1,702 loans, at a value of £3,033,584, and of those 1,451 were West Sussex residents, at a value of £2,296,178. So what is a Credit Union and how does it differ from a High Street Bank or Building Society? Historically, early Credit Unions were small nonprofit making organisations set up to benefit the local community - perhaps organised by a local church or possibly within an industry – collecting savings and offering loans. Nowadays they have become more professional with an online presence and, usually, business premises. Andy Johnson sums up the difference between Boom and a High Street lender: “Financial inclusion is in our very DNA and we live and breathe the ideal of financial capability for all. Our savings and loans facilities are all built with this in mind. With our Corporate Savers, we donate money to local charities. At Boom all borrowers get to save a little alongside their loan repayments … helping them to get into the saving habit and improve their financial well-being.” Boom also encourages Junior Savers by offering them good rates of interest and providing accounts that promote independent financial management at the age of eight.“ As Andy Johnson points out Boom keeps its money local: “Our members truly matter to us. We know the communities that we work within and we don’t work for profit, corporate gain or shareholders.” He explains that the organisation is committed to providing financial inclusion and is passionate about fighting loan sharks and high interest lenders in order to do this. “The approach we take is a non-judgmental, holistic, helping, questioning and supportive role. We create a breathing space for people to make positive choices in their lives that can really impact them and create change without being under duress and financial stress. We have a genuine desire to empower people and to do this we take the time to have a conversation with our customers making sure that their wellbeing stays central to our focus. “ Currently employing sixteen staff assisted by thirteen volunteers, Boom only recently began recruiting volunteers and is looking for people who have good IT and communication skills, who are able to spare at least four hours once a week to help out taking on tasks such as filing, talking to customers, data entry etc. Andy Johnson says, “Our volunteers can take on the administration roles within the organisation at the moment, but we have a view to grow which will allow us to work with volunteers more creatively in their roles.”

Andy Johnson, General Manager And Boom has an impressive list of initiatives that mean they are going to need those extra volunteers. Their chief challenge is a campaign to attract £1million of savings so they can continue to help local people. Businesses, Charities and Community Interest Companies are being encouraged to open Corporate Savings accounts, with Boom donating one percent of every new account’s deposit to its charity projects. Boom believes everyone should have access to regular savings, current accounts and debit cards, and for those who need it, a fair and affordable loan
through the door – keeping them out of the clutches of payday lenders and loan sharks. But, the business model is a tough one as the more inclusive you want to be the greater the risk you have to absorb, and striking an optimal balance is hard, with constant pressure to compromise its value of inclusivity. However Boom is determined not to succumb says Andy Johnson, rather “… using this pressure to get better and better at what we do. This compromise has been seen in other Credit Unions, Getting the word out with them being to the community either forced take a risk averse and less inclusive approach to lending, or else forced to close. Neither of these things is an outcome we want for Boom.” This is a valid point; the number has significantly declined – from around 950 registered Credit Unions in Great Britain in 2002, to 311 as of March 2018.

The reduction of external funding requires Credit Unions to have an increased self-sufficiency and a greater emphasis on commercial acumen. As Andy Johnson points out: “Lending money is an industry in its own right and Credit Unions are not always blessed with a plethora of experts in this field.” Boom’s underwriting process is, says Andy, “Very human, inclusive and interactive. Our applicants are far more to us than a credit score or a credit file… It is fair to say to be a successful underwriter at Boom you need to understand both the art and science of underwriting and have a large dose of emotional intelligence.” Finally, Boom is in competition with the high interest lenders and loan sharks, but with a fraction of their budget when it comes to getting their story told. Comments from satisfied customers endorse a service that seeks to improve rather than further impoverish the lives of its members. Boom!

30 Property
Bats By Chris Ennis FRICS Over the years I have taken aboard many redevelopment projects, most involving the refurbishment or reconstruction of residential property. I am involved with one such development at the moment. The derelict property has been unoccupied for many years and is a state of advanced disrepair. The roof is tumbling in, walls are damaged and the property is covered in ivy. It is a classic haunt for bats. There are many types of bat...about 1200 world-wide, and 18 are species native to the UK. The smallest of the UK species is the ‘Pipistrelle’ which is about 4 centimetres long weighing up to 9 grams. The largest UK bats are either the ‘Noctule’ or ‘Great Horse Shoe bat’ weighing up to 40 grams. In the summer, cricket bats are often seen on the village green(!) Whilst some bat species are solitary roosters, in some parts of the world they form colonies of up to one million. Bats are important in the ecological system since they eat insects and they pollinate some plants. It is for these reasons they are a protected species under the Wildlife and Countryside Acts. Other rare similarly protected species of mammal include the great crested newt, badgers and water voles.
SUSSEX LOCAL Bats hunt for their food on the wing, and are nocturnal, and can often be seen skimming low over hedgerows and expanses of water. They are harmless to humans, and they have a highly developed echo location ability using very high frequency sound. So why do bats affect the redevelopment process? Where bats are located they have to be notified to the local authority, and works will be halted until certain specialist surveys have been completed. The process of treating the bats can be both expensive, and time consuming. A development project could be delayed by months and involve expensive remedial works. The potential for delay and uncertainty can have significant financial implications where profit margins are tight. There are a number of specialist surveying firms and initial surveys involving multiple visits to the property and special sonar equipment can cost several hundred pounds. There are severe penalties for the destruction of bat habitat. Chris Ennis FRICS is a Chartered Surveyor Tel: 01903 261217 visit www.propdoctor or send an email to: surveyor1@talktalk.net

Low Carb, High Fat Diets By Heather Smith, Personal Trainer, Fitbiz Training Lately there has been a huge boost in the popularity of low carb diets. Personally, I’m a big fan as well. Known as Low Carb, High Fat (LCHF), the idea is to reduce the carbs in your diet hugely and increase the fat in your diet in compensation. LCHF is a long way from a fad diet. The health benefits are plain to see: life-changing weight loss, improved mental focus, more constant energy levels, better sleep and eliminated food cravings to name a few. There are also plenty of advocates for LCHF for various diseases too. Whatever approach you take to eating healthy, there is one common rule – get rid of the junk food. After that, aside from the grains which health conscious people like to eat, like quinoa, bulgar wheat, beans and lentils, the plate of a well formulated LCHF diet shouldn’t look much different. Poached eggs on spinach for breakfast, smoked salmon and avocado salad for lunch and steak with asparagus, roasted tomatoes and mushrooms for dinner. If your body is already high in fat, all you need to do is lower your carbs – no coconut oil coffees required!
One of the big reasons LCHF is so effective for weight loss is because it teaches your body how to easily tap into its fat stores when it runs out of food energy. This really helps keep hunger in check. Many LCHF ‘gurus’ would suggest eating fat with wild abandon, at the expense of protein as well as carbohydrate. While you could Example of a low carb meal just replace the carb calories in your diet with fat calories, you’re not going to see too much in the way of weight loss and probably won’t do your health many favours either. Especially if you couple this with not eating enough protein to keep your body in good repair. This varies depending on activity. Why not give it a try for a month, and let me know how you get on!

36 Gardening
In Your Garden Monthly gardening ideas and tasks by Andrew Staib, Principal Designer of Glorious Gardens “I like to bring the Parham House & Gardens gardening team on as Head Gardener Tom Brown embodies Parham, well built, welcoming and always on the creative move.
For ten years now he has managed and also upgraded Parham Gardens, part of the 875 acre site in which the 16th Century Manor House comfortably sits. The gardens pre-date the house, with vegetable growing activities recorded there as early as the 15th Century when it was owned by the monks of Westminster. Hiding behind the Downs, the gardens are protected by the worst of the South Westerly winds and have good free draining soil that has benefitted from hundreds of years of cultivation. Parham Gardens is a giant collection of different spaces, similar to menageries, that pretty much represent the history of English gardens. There is the famous Walled Garden as well as other spaces such as an Exotic Garden, Herb Garden, Rose Garden, Pleasure Grounds with a new addition, a Shingle Garden to grow more drought resistant plants. There are also long, elegant glasshouses and a nursery selling specialised plants.
Blue borders at Parham In the 1920s a tree fell and crashed into one of the walls of the Walled Garden. Rather than repair the walls with bricks, the Lord at the time built a two story Wendy House to fill the gap and each year Lady Emma Barnard and her family spent a whole night in there telling stories. Tom sees his task as keeping alive the spirit of the garden in keeping with Parham House and the landscape, whilst also bringing on the reputation of the gardens by constantly improving plant combinations in the borders and developing different areas.
well, especially improving their knowledge. To make all this happen we have over 80 seasonal workers and 25 regular volunteers, as well as seven permanent gardeners. A lot of my job is management these days but I still get on the mower when Parham Head Gardener needed. I know what Tom Brown plants go well here so I enjoy finding variations on a theme.� Tom has not just done that. Over the last few years he has revamped enormous long borders, creating colour themed beds such as the Blue and Gold Border with intense Rudbekias, Lavenders and Cardoons, Heleniums, and ochre coloured Achilleas.

There is a Red Border with bronze Fennel, Red Hot Pokers, Molinia and Libertia peregrines and a revamped White Border is on the way. Dating from the 18th Century in its current form, the Walled Garden is perhaps the most beautiful space in the garden. Spread over 4 acres, its history reflects the centuries gone by. At times it has been grass land, left fallow and at one point converted into small allotments. Today it holds a collection of horticultural ‘events’. An orchard with an emphasis on dessert apples, herbaceous borders and shrub borders. A self contained herb garden is quite unique sitting within the walls of the garden, surrounded by tall Yew hedges. There are lots of varieties of Mint, Sage plus Chives, Oregano and Artemisia with a fat little cherub in the middle.
Entrance at Parham Gardens Tom sees the garden as providing an opportunity for the public to learn about plants in a way they couldn’t in their own gardens. A couple of years ago, they grew 100 types of Sunflowers along a south facing wall. The public were delighted and Tom’s team were able to see which sunflowers suited the garden the best. This experiment was so popular that they have

38 Gardening repeated the experiment with trials of Dahlias, Gladioli and Alliums planted directly into the lawns which were a surprising success. This year they plan to grow 150 different annual climbers which will be thrilling to see.
June tasks Deadhead perennial flowers, as they will often create a new flush of buds as you inhibit the energy of the plant going into seed production. Plus the first flush of Hybrid and Patio roses may have finished so deadhead them back to a couple of new, outward facing buds though you may have to wait for these as we have had a slow Spring this year. Bring any tender plants out from your greenhouse or conservatory now
Prairie tulips If you are visiting soon there are tours around the landscaped grounds where a great herd of deer can be seen. There are numerous horticultural events as well throughout the year. It is well worth visiting a historic dwelling that is also not afraid of moving with the times.
Places to visit Parham House of course! The address is Parham Park, Pulborough, RH20 4HS. Check their website www.parhaminsussex.co.uk for opening hours and entrance prices.
Make sure any ponds don’t get swamped with blanket weed Cut back any shrubs that flowered in May eg Wigelia and Philadelphius Mulch any new plants that went in this year with bark or compost, as they will dry out much faster than established plants as their roots are not as plugged into the surrounding soil.

Town Council News / Business Directory
Arundel Town Council Extracts from the draft minutes of Arundel Town Council held on 12th April 2018. Grant Recommendations A) Home Start. It was agreed that a Grant be approved for the sum of £1000 for supporting isolated and vulnerable families in the Community. b) Baptist Church. It was agreed that a Grant be approved for the sum of £500 for two fun days in partnership with Arundel Guides as part of the Arundel Festival for Arundel Families. Planning & Environment minutes Dog Waste Bins. District Councillors were addressed to ask if they could update on the situation – it was noted that if the general public do not challenge the dog owners then no-one is going to be accountable for this. Most dog fouling occurs early in the morning or late in the evening. The Health and Safety guidance that applies to the waste industry classifies dog waste as Offensive waste. A review of the collection procedures took place in 2017 when West Sussex County Council had to put in place new disposal arrangements. As part of this the waste has to be delivered there in specially marked sacks to show it is offensive waste. Traffic & Access minutes The Residents Association from Causeway Court will
39
take on the costs of the repair to the pathway in the area between the Lido Car Park and Queen Street. The Council would like to join the Arun Valley Line Sussex Community Rail Partnership. A letter of thanks should be sent for the recent improvements to Arundel Station. With several issues arising from adjoining parishes we should consider creating a small group to make united decisions together within parishes. Could WSCC Highways formalise taking over the license to maintain the land opposite the Baptist Church? The Mayor will ask the Kebab Van owner if he would park on the road and not the grass verge where this is being churned up. Farmers’ Market The Farmers’ Market Street Trading licence payment is being increased to £1850. To continue with the monthly Farmers Market, it has been urgently requested that the Town Council consider taking on this role. Cllr Dendle will make a representation on behalf of Arundel Town Council to find out about the increase of the licence. This will also be brought up at the next ADC liaison meeting. Arundel Town Council agreed that they would support the Farmers’ Market to ensure its continued existence and in the first instance pay the increased licence fee. www.arundeltowncouncil.gov.uk
