Sussex Snippets A new Parish Council grouping has launched to provide a strong and unified representation for this area in discussions with Gatwick, NATS, the CAA, the Department for Transport, airport and airlines over aircraft noise issues. APCAG (Association of Parish Councils Aviation Group) has been endorsed by six founder member parishes, representing over 10,000 residents: Pulborough, Wisborough Green, Kirdford, Loxwood, Plaistow and Ifold and it is planned for more to join; and as an organization comprising democratically elected bodies, APCAG’s feels that its voice is more likely to be heard than the voice of a protest group. Contact: peter@drummond.co.uk ‘This is my Theatre’ invites you to celebrate Shakespeare's 400th anniversary with their telling of his famous love story Romeo and Juliet brought to life in Brighton’s oldest building, St Peter’s Church on the edge of Preston Park; and in the rural Tortington Church on the outskirts of Arundel. A proportion of money raised through ticket sales will be donated to the Churches Conservation Trust, which funds vital restoration work at these ancient sites, helping keep these beautiful buildings open. www.sarahslator.com
SUSSEX LOCAL West Sussex County Council is considering making changes to Household Waste Recycling Sites – and is holding a public consultation to find out what people think – you can take part in the consultation online until Sunday 12th June. The County Council has reviewed its Household Waste Recycling Sites because of a need to make £18.6m in savings across all council services next year. www.haveyoursay.westsussex.gov.uk/waste management-services/hwrs Sullivan’s Heroes is a new charity, which has been set up to help fund home adaptations for disabled children; the idea for the charity was born during the process of Fiona and Richard Smith adapting their own property for their disabled son, Sullivan. As well as fundraising to provide grants for families towards their child’s home adaptations, where the costs exceed that of a council grant awarded – a situation which happens all too often; the charity also provides a website platform where families can set up their own fundraising towards the building costs. www.sullivansheroes.org Teenagers who need help with mood swings, body image and anxiety can now look to their local West Sussex library for support. Shelf Help is a new collection of books that have been reviewed and selected by clinicians and young people to help with a wide-range of mental health issues, the collection tackles top tackles topics from life pressures and depression to self-harm and exams, and includes books such as ‘Stuff that Sucks’ and ‘Mind Your Head.’ www.westsussex.gov.uk/libraries. Visiting Littlehampton for a family day on the beach has turned into an expensive exercise and that’s before you’ve bought the ice creams. Your editors went with friends from out of the area over the May Bank holiday, and were astounded to find, on parking up, that the charge for East Beach car park was £7 for any stay over two hours. To add insult to injury, the machine doesn’t take cards! We later found out there is an “app” you can download to pay, not that this was apparent from any signs, and just what you want to be messing about with when you have several small children wanting to get on the beach on a boiling hot day. Littlehampton won’t be getting our business in future, when Worthing charges £1 an hour to park, and Goring Gap is free. Feedback? info@sussexlocal.net

Help Jake to Walk
Free Physiotherapy for Veterans
Jake Bourlet was born five and a half weeks early and, at eighteen months, he was diagnosed with Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. Jake’s doctors were unsure if he would ever be able to walk. As he has grown, Jake has been able to bear weight, unfortunately, due to the high tone in his legs, and especially his inner thigh muscles, Jake’s legs scissor severely, which prevent him from walking. Jake also suffers pain in his muscles and stomach problems as a result of his Cerebral Palsy. Jake’s parents have taken him to different therapies in the hope the scissoring would get better, but although these have helped a little the scissoring has not gone away.
Thanks to funding from The Aged Veterans Fund, funded by the Chancellor using LIBOR funds, The Queen Alexandra Hospital Home (QAHH) is now able to provide physiotherapy to non-resident veterans living in the local community. From July, and initially for one year, the Hospital Home will be providing physiotherapy sessions on Saturdays, free of charge, at QAHH on Boundary Road, Worthing.
However, there is a new procedure, Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR), which would remove a lot of the high tone and scissoring and would mean Jake could probably walk one day, and live pain free. SDR is not routinely funded by the NHS, and so Jake’s parents have begun a campaign to raise the £35,000 necessary to get Jake the surgery, and additional physiotherapy, he needs. Donations can be made via Jake’s Just Giving page: www.jakebourlet.co.uk
01903 380 034
From Monday to Friday, QAHH residents benefit from the physiotherapy services, which are specially tailored to their individual needs, and are a key part of the care and rehabilitation that QAHH provides. This exciting new project will allow QAHH to reach out to help even more ex-Service personnel in the community. If you are a veteran, born before 1st January 1950, in need of physiotherapy, and would be interested in receiving it for free in QAHH’s modern facilities and in a reputable, experienced and veteran-centred environment, please contact 01903 218444 or email info@qahh.org.uk

Granary Open Gardens There is a unique opportunity to explore Granary Gardens on Sunday 19th June, when the gardens open for the day in support of Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice and St Barnabas Hospice. The private one and quarter acre, one off, downland country garden, set in the Burpham hamlet of Wepham, is stocked with a vast array of differing herbaceous plants, shrubs, roses, soft fruits, even semi-mature sequoias. Footpaths and lawns abound to enable more intimate exploration. The garden will be open from 2-5pm and the event includes Afternoon Tea by the ponds in the Granary garden. Admission is £6 for Adults, (including tea), and free for children under 12, with free car parking.
Safari Van Play House Arundel & District Rotary Club and Insight Rotaract Littlehampton have worked together over the last four months converting a disused HiJet Daihatsu van into a colourful zebra striped ‘Safari Van Playhouse’ for the William Olders Playgroup, a charity funded nursery in Angmering. The two clubs worked on the vehicle over the school holidays, weekends and a number of long evenings after normal working hours. The design was based upon a traditional camper van fit out with an African safari twist. Sue Droy, manager of the William Olders Playgroup, originally
SUSSEX LOCAL approached a local Rotarian with a request to donate an old camper van to enhance the outside play area. It was suggested that the van could be ‘converted’ into something more fun and imaginative, and both of the clubs agreed this would be a fantastic joint project to take on utilising their creative energy and enthusiasm. The Rotary and Rotaract clubs are always looking to take on projects for the community and with the community and the two clubs will be working on several local projects in the next Rotary year (starting in July), which can be viewed on www.arundelrotary.org

Feeling hot hot hot? “Elderly people can suffer when a hot spell arrives” says Sally from Heaton House care home Sally Neil-Smith from Highgrove House and Heaton House care homes offers some expert advice for taking care in warmer weather.
Sally Neil-Smith, registered nurse and care home owner
With summer upon us, it’s great to get outside and enjoy the sunshine and warmer weather. At Heaton House and Highgrove House we’re lucky to have lovely gardens that our residents and day visitors can get
out into and enjoy. We know that many older people can suffer when a hot spell of weather arrives though. We have many years of nursing experience and always make sure of the following three things:
23
• Drink enough cold liquid – water or juice are fine • Wearing appropriate lighter weight clothing, such as thin layers that can be easily removed • Avoid going outside between 11am and 3pm and wear a hat and sunscreen when you do Many older people spend most of their time alone. If you know an older person who needs a bit of extra help at home do make sure they’re OK in warmer weather. You can help by pulling down blinds to stop the heat coming in and also by making sure they’ve got enough cold drinks to hand, especially if they’re going to be on their own for much of the day. Dehydration can become very serious if left unnoticed. We all know someone who doesn’t like to be a bother – well that is the person who probably needs bothering with when it comes to drinking enough! More information about what to look for in a vulnerable person during a heatwave can be found on the following webpage: www.nhs.uk/Livewell/ Summerhealth/Pages/Heatwave.aspx Sally Neil-Smith is a registered Nurse and care home owner with over 40 years’ experience of elderly care.

Food Sharing A real world response to a first world problem Globally more than a third of all food produced goes uneaten, and households are responsible for half of all of the UK’s food waste – binning over £12billion of edible food each year, at a staggering cost of £700 to the average family. A horrifying statistic when you consider that a third of the UK’s families live below the poverty line. However, no matter how hard you may try not to overbuy, the supermarkets tempt us with clever offers – buy three for two, buy one get one free – that make buying more food than you need almost a default position.
Tessa and Saasha - (c) Annabel Staff
However, there is now an alternative to the rubbish bin for those finding themselves with a surplus of perfectly edible foodstuffs. OLIO is a free app designed to connect neighbours with each other and with local independent shops and cafes so that surplus food can be shared rather than thrown away. This could include food nearing its sell-by date from shops, cafes and markets; spare vegetables from the allotment; cakes from an amateur baker; or groceries from household fridges when people go away or move home. As long as it’s edible, it can be shared on OLIO.
OLIO is the brainchild of close friends Saasha Celestial-One and Tessa Cook, both of whom grew up in rural families and had instilled into them a strong aversion to waste of any kind. What Saasha describes as ‘the light bulb moment for Olio,” came some years later: ”Tessa was moving country and found herself with good food that she just couldn’t bring herself to throw away. After failing to find anyone to give it to, she ended up having to smuggle it back into the UK, and thought there had to be a better solution! And so OLIO was born.” Launched in London in December 2015, the app has been following a roll out strategy across cities in the UK, Saasha describes the app as “Our response to the massive and unsustainable problem of food waste,” going on to explain that, “Ultimately, we're all about trying to create a scalable platform that others can take and use in their local communities to stop good food from being thrown away.” And the process does seem very straightforward. Once the app has been downloaded to a mobile phone – OLIO is currently supported by the iPhone
through the door
29
30 Living iPad, iPad Mini and is optimised for the iPhone 5 and higher – then the user can add items to OLIO or browse the listings and request an item. Some people will only add items, and others will only request items, whilst many will do both. How the items are collected depends entirely upon personal choice, if individuals donating items would rather not have the food collected from their own home then they have a range of options – a public meeting place, or dropping off the item at the home of the person who requested it, or by delivering/collecting from an OLIO drop-off point or Drop-Box. OLIO’s website, which is easy to use and has a friendly, vibrant feel, offers plenty of information on how to get started and also provides a useful list of guidelines for those using the service. Launched in Brighton in March this year, there are already nine drop-boxes in Brighton and Hove, in independent shops and cafes, with the organisers already looking for more businesses to host dropboxes across Sussex. Saasha stresses that even though there may not currently be a drop-box in your community at present then as long as you are able to download the free app, then anyone can use OLIO, anywhere in the county. Although, she explains: “Of course the experience is better the more people in your area that are using it, so it’s a good idea to encourage your neighbours and local shops to get on board, too.” One of OLIO’s Ambassador’s is Claire

Tymoshyshyn, manager of Brighton’s Angel Food Bakery and Kitchen, who explained: “I love that instead of throwing away fresh food that I wouldn’t be able to use or give to a food bank, I can simply take a photo and offer it to the whole community with a click of a button. OLIO has also enabled my bakery to raise money for a local charity by asking for a small donation when we share leftover cakes.” Although users can choose to charge for their items, nearly all of the food posted on the app is free – OLIO’s guidelines state that if someone does choose to charge for their items then that charge should be at least 50 percent off the original price paid. For those concerned about food safety, Saasha explains

32 Living / Finance that, “OLIO is fully compliant with all UK food law. This is a very important area for us and so there are a couple of things that our users need to be aware of. First 'use by' dates refer to the safety of the product, and retailers cannot sell or give away any food after this date. However, there is no such legislation governing what individuals can or cannot do with food past its use by date, yet we very rarely see items past their use by dates on OLIO.” In fact, the first guideline listed on OLIO’s website is “Good enough for you,” namely that users should only add food that they themselves would be willing to eat. Saasha also explains another term often seen on food labeling: “The other thing to consider is the 'best before' date. This refers to the date at which the item is optimal for freshness and taste, although most items can be eaten deliciously for weeks, months and even years after this date. We see lots of items past their best before date on OLIO, and they are generally requested very quickly. We also have the ability for our users to report any item to us should there be any concerns; however we've not yet had any item legitimately reported to us for health and safety reasons. Finally, we do ask that all our users describe how the food has been stored and packaged when posting food on the app, and that the person picking up the food ask any questions needed to satisfy themselves
about the conditions in which the food has been kept.” The website also refers users to a number of useful links to safety and hygiene standards set out by The Food Standards Agency’s website, and reminds users that there are controlled substances that cannot be sold on OLIO, such as tobacco and alcohol. However, if someone holds a license to sell alcohol then they can sell alcohol on OLIO, so long as it is discounted by at least 50 percent. Individuals without a license can only add alcohol that is available for free. OLIO’s journey to date has been relatively short but already demand has taken the app UK-wide and Olio’s founders have had people from other countries respond to their idea, and they plan soon to take their model into other markets.

Savings Confusion By Richard Cohen JP FPFS ACII MCSI Chartered Financial Planner The UK savings landscape continues to get more complicated. Following the recent budget, the variety of ISAs that are available has increased. Most people are familiar with the Investment ISA, Cash ISA and Junior ISA. We now also have the Help to Buy ISA, which is designed to help people save a deposit for their first home, the Lifetime ISA, which is being seen as a competitor to a personal pension and the Innovative Finance ISA, which allows you to get involved in “peer-to-peer”. They all benefit from virtually tax free returns, with no capital gains tax on investment profits and no income tax on interest or dividends received. There are a myriad of rules governing who is eligible for each one, what the proceeds can be used for and when, how saving or investing through one affects whether you can put money in another and which ones you can transfer between. In addition, some have a bonus paid upfront whereas others don’t. How things have changed since PEPs and TESSAs were abolished to make way for the simple ISA regime! At the same time as creating all these different ISA savings options the Government have also made
significant changes to how “unearned” income is taxed. Everyone now has a savings allowance that covers the first £1,000 of interest for basic rate tax payers or £500 of interest for higher rate tax payers and a £5,000 dividend allowance. To top it off the lifetime and annual limits for pensions have also been reduced if you are a high earner or take money from a pension in certain ways. Confused? You are not alone! We have an incredibly complex savings environment in terms of taxation and product choice. This is worrying as everyone, including the Government, accepts that complexity and the confusion it causes is a barrier to saving. The good news is that if you can overcome this barrier and take the time to examine the best option for your circumstances, with planning these allowances and products can be used to reduce your tax bill. The savings can be considerable with no aggressive tax avoidance or dodgy offshore accounts in Panama required.

Yes, Prime Minister: Why everyone should be talking about estate planning By Ivan Lyons Director Investment Solutions, Worthing Estate planning is back in the headlines, with David Cameron’s financial affairs following the death of his father coming under heavy scrutiny. But perhaps the bigger issue at the moment is just how few people understand the rules relating to inheritance tax, or are aware of ways to eliminate or reduce an inheritance tax liability.
planning is a complicated one, and many believe it doesn’t even apply to them. This is likely to be a costly mistake for many families. All the more reason why a bit of forward planning should be actively encouraged. We'd love to talk to you! Contact Investment Solutions: Grafton House, 26 Grafton Road, Worthing, BN11 1QT. 01903 214640 or send an email to Ivan at: ilyons@graftonhouse.net or visit www.investment-solutions.co.uk The Investment Solutions Team, Worthing
In a recent survey: · Just 14% of the people surveyed were aware that the current inheritance tax-free allowance for individuals stands at £325,000. If the estate is worth more than this, the remainder will be taxed at 40%. · Of the homeowners surveyed, a shocking 78% either haven’t considered estate planning or don’t think they’ll be affected by the inheritance tax rules. · Only 8% of those surveyed knew that Individual Savings Account (ISA) savings can form part of a person’s taxable estate and would therefore also be subject to inheritance tax. This lack of awareness is leading to increased revenue for HM Revenue & Customs. It recently announced a record take of inheritance tax for the last tax year, with £4.6 billion due from the estates of thousands of people who have passed away. And inheritance tax receipts are forecast to keep rising, reaching £5.6 billion by 2021. This rise is expected despite the recent introduction of the main residence allowance of £175,000 per person, which applies to estates that include a family home and is due to be phased in over the next few years. Moreover, the majority of families caught in the inheritance tax trap aren’t anywhere near as wealthy as the Camerons. Not everyone stands to benefit from the new main residence allowance, and even those who should benefit are likely to find their home values rising at a faster rate than the supplemental allowance permits. Our research suggests that rather than being a nation of inheritance tax avoiders, most of us are sleepwalking into inheritance tax liabilities, leaving loved ones with a large and unnecessary tax bill to pay. For most people, the world of inheritance and estate

In Your Garden Monthly gardening ideas and tasks by Andrew Staib of Glorious Gardens Love your Shade Sometimes I hear people despair that their garden is too shady. However there are wonderful designs and planting combinations you can do in shady areas. After all shade is a natural part of the landscape and plants and wildlife have adapted to these areas. Indeed some plants can’t thrive without dappled or deep shade.
might want to enliven the area with bright flowers or even a bright metallic sculpture.
Japanese Anemone
Rather than fret about the darkness you can embrace it and go for a woodland theme, choosing traditional English or European woodland plants. With a nice thick bark mulch over the soil amongst your new plants you can create a space that could have been there for decades full of mystery that invites you towards it. You can even create a path of bark that runs through the planting. You can make the shady part of your garden a place of lush coolness and simple life where your eyes, tired from looking at screens, mobiles and lists of things to do, can relax and dream of the forests.
Bright Spots Because darkness absorbs the light the shady borders, especially if there are trees above, often appear deeper and further away which can enhance a garden’s size. But if that is not a consideration you Dicentra
Japanese anemonies are brilliant for creating sparks of light in the gloom and they also tolerate dry soil. If your soil is moist you can go for the delicate heart shaped flowers of Dicentra or Astillbe or the proud early and late season red and pinks of Cyclamen which can be planted between the roots of craggy old trees. If you wish the area to have a civilized, classical look you could purchase some great Cretian terracotta urns that will catch any light going which will contrast with the deeper darkness behind. They will also tie in the area to any hard materials in the rest of the garden like paths, patios and the house itself.

Planting Up
Astrantia
For perennial planting there are the bullet proof choices of Alchamilla Mollis, Astrantia with their papery flowers, Epimedium (Bishop’s Hat), Hellebours and the purple flowering Geranium phaeum. As well as checking out the moisture content of the soil make sure you check out the soil acidity. If you are lucky enough to have acid soil you can try Rhododendrons and Azaleas. Bulbs are great in shady areas and often thrive as they can come and go before the deciduous trees have come into leaf. As well as obvious contenders like Narsissi and Blue Bells you could try the weird dutch hats of Erythronium as well as Chionodoxa and Scilla. For ground cover try Euphorbia amygdaloides (if you have a larger space and don’t mind them spreading about), plus Persicaria superb (flowers forever it seems), the achingly delicate Corydalis plus Ajuga and Violas. With a little research (garden centres will often have a shady plant section) and good plant combinations you can turn this often neglected area into one of the main features of your garden.
Places to visit in June If you haven’t been to Great Dixter gardens then you are in for a beautiful surprise. It is a garden that regularly comes up as garden design professionals favourite garden and for years has been a horticulturalist’s Mecca. Surrounding a 15 Century House these gardens were developed by Christopher Lloyd, gardener and garden writer, over a 40 year period and are now in the hands of the Great Dixter Charity Trust. Situated in Northian, near Rye, they re open from 115pm and as well as having a varying degree of day and week long courses on plants and design, have Behind the Scenes days and Meadow Gardening educational days. From 2-5pm each day the medieval part of the house is open to the public. www.greatdixter.co.uk

Lastly if you mow your lawn every week rather than every fortnight you will have a summer of pleasure looking out at your neat green space rather than living with a shaggy lawn for half the time. See it as free gym membership.

38 Property
Bacteria By Chris Ennis FRICS When did you last examine the water tank in your property? I would guess that many owners have never looked at it since it is likely to be difficult to access within the roof spaces. When I was first allowed out on my own, as a newly qualified surveyor in 1979, galvanized metal water tanks were common. It was my job to scramble into the roof to locate the tank and inspect it internally. What did I see? Very often it was discoloured water, sludge and large globules of rust on the tank sides indicating that the tank was at the end of its useful life. Insulation around the tank was rare, as was any form of cover. Often the covers were made of chipboard, or polystyrene. I still frequently see disintegrating chipboard covers polluting the content of the tank water beneath. Without a cover the tank can become a breeding ground for bacteria thriving in the dust, debris and possibly insects / bird droppings that will inevitably fall into it. Do you remember Basil Fawlty (Fawlty Towers on TV) having two dead pigeons n the water tank? Well, this can actually happen!
Stop!
Other sources of bacteria might include: Leather or rubber washers on taps - found in older property. The washers provide the food for Bacteria to flourish. Badly maintained shower heads – calcium build up on the reverse side of the head can collect warm water. Mixer tap filters - calcium build up. Hempused as a joint seal on older metal pipes. Tank ‘Sludge’- ferrous oxide in the bottom of a metal storage tank or galvanised calorifier. Inline Filters sometimes found in vending machines. Stagnant water – warm water that stands in traps under the bath and sinks contain food, hair and other vegetable matter will provide food and the ambient temperature for bacteria propagation. Whirlpool baths recirculate water when they are used and there is a risk of contaminated water being held within the pipes of the pumped jet system. Where filters are fitted they must be cleaned regularly. Next time you pop up to the roof spaces; check out the water tank, you may be surprised at what you see!

A letter from the Past By Valerie Martin I have discovered that at the beginning of the 1800s, James Constable became a prosperous mercer in Storrington and had a thriving business. By 1802/3 he was so successful that he endeavoured to expand his trade and looked around to open a branch store. This he did in Findon. I have found that his sister, Mildred, ran the Findon shop at No. 2 The Square for him from 1807 and she wrote several letters from the village. It seems the Constable family had a great friend whose name was Harriet Bright, nee Robinson, come from Lowfield Heath in Surrey. She is buried in Findon churchyard, as is her husband, James Bright the Findon miller, in granite tombs of some grandeur. Another local family, also great acquaintances of the Constables, was the Nichol family. Likewise they are interred in the Findon graveyard.
The picture given of Mildred Constable is of a very capable and educated young lady, as well as enterprising for those times. In 1807 she had just returned from Maidstone in Kent (where all the best people originate from including myself) where she had assisted her brother prior to his opening a shop in Brasted, near Sevenoaks. On a wintry day, the 7th January 1808, she sat down in the Findon shop (perhaps during a slack period or maybe upstairs at the premises), and wrote to her Findon Parish Church

42 Local History / Local News brothers, Daniel and William. They had already taken the gigantic step of emigrating and were at the Crane’s Boarding House in New York, and eagerly awaited news of home. Mildred can be imagined pausing to look out of the window at the familiar village scene in The Square as she wrote a letter about her stay in Kent and then Brighton. She unfortunately gives no insight as to the wares sold in the shop or what it was like. Maybe she had to break off to attend to a customer or pass the time of day with a neighbour. The flow of her letter may appear quaint over 200 years after the ink dried but does reflect the mood of the period when it was written and conjures up a slower pace of village life. Findon, Sussex. 7th January 1808 ……..I turned my thoughts to keeping James’ house at Findon ... I arrived in this village the day I left Brighton, and found myself very quiet, happy and comfortable in it since I have been a resident. I have not at all left it but by chance a day to Storrington, which occurs seldom. James is in good health, looks well and grows lusty. He begs his affectionate love and says he does not write but hopes you will not think the worse of him on that account... With ardent hope and pleasure we await the time of your return and the undescribable joy that will elate all here who are deeply interested in so gratifying a sight……..

Findon Valley Residents’ Association (FVRA) There is still time for Findon Valley residents to visit the Michael Jones’ office in King’s Parade and enter the Royal Front Garden Competition! The judges will be walking around to look at all the participants’ front gardens from Monday 11 July onwards to decide who wins the £100 top prize – a Wyevale Garden Centre voucher – and the runner-up receiving a bottle of champagne! So be quick to complete your entry form at Michael Jones estate agents, giving yourself time to make your front garden look fantastically fabulous to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday! On Sunday, 26 June we hold our Annual Fun Dog Show on the Gallops. 12pm booking starts to enter your dog(s) in 8 classes @ £1 per dog/class. The judging commences from 1pm. All the money raised will be donated to PAWS Animal Sanctuary. All dog owners with their families and friends are welcome.
I am, dear brothers, Your most truly affectionate sister, M. Constable Mildred only gives her address at the top of her letter as "Findon, Sussex". There was no need for extravagant addresses in those far off days when the postboy would know all the inhabitants personally. She eventually married and emigrated to America herself in 1817 and no doubt another shopkeeper took over the Findon branch of the Constable’s business as it was still in existence in 1839. Further stories of our local past can be discovered on Valerie Martin's website, www.findonvillage.com
Our recent winner of the Monthly Photo Competition, sponsored by Jacobs Steel estate agents, was Mark Barnes and his photo ‘Peace and quiet’! So now it’s June and you have the opportunity to take a prize-winning photo that captures the beauty of our local nature, either in your garden or while you’re on a walk in Findon Valley. You can either take it to the Jacobs Steel office on King’s Parade or email your photo to environment@findonvalley.org by 30 June latest. Either way, with your photo, we need details of your phone number, photo caption and the location where it has been taken in Findon Valley. For more details visit www.findonvalley.org.
