Welcome... to a brand new year! I resolved a long time ago not to make new year resolutions which is easy enough to stick to... If 2016 wasn’t the best year for you, January brings a metaphorical blank page so set your goals for 2017 and aim high! Our main article this month puts the spotlight on local charity Home Start. Assisting struggling families with practical advice and hands-on support since 1973 the charity helps families in this area with at least one child under five. See page 24. With a new year upon us, you may be thinking of making changes around your home or garden. Andrew from Glorious Gardens gives ideas for designing a wildlife garden in this month’s gardening feature, see page 35. We have a round-up of news from the area’s parish councils’ websites starting on page 38 along with our local charity and community news pages from page 20.

14 Motoring
Motoring news Record year for new car sales? Despite worries about the potential economic impact of Brexit, new-car sales are expected to exceed 2.7m when industry body the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) collates the annual data in the new year. As reported on www.telegraph.co.uk a variety of factors have assisted the sales. A strong pound meant cars produced abroad but sold in the UK are more profitable. Weak demand in other European markets resulted in car makers directing supply to where their vehicles were selling. Finally, cheap finance deals mean cars have never been more affordable.
Aston Martin DB4 A run of 25 Aston Martin DB4 GT Continuation models are being built to original specification for an estimated £1.5 million each (around half of what original DB4 GTs are currently valued at). The cars will be built next Autumn by the brand’s historic arm, Aston Martin Works, at Newport Pagnell, where the original car was constructed from 1959. Produced for four years until 1963, the DB4 GT won on its race debut at Silverstone with Sir Stirling Moss behind the wheel. Buyers of the track-only cars will be
offered the chance to receive training from Aston Martin’s professional drivers. www.autocar.co.uk
Green driving www.independent.co.uk The Dutch government has set a date for parliament to host a roundtable discussion that could see the sale of petrol and diesel-fuelled cars banned by 2025. If the measures proposed by the Labour Party in March are finally passed, it would join Norway and Denmark in making a concerted move to develop its electric car industry. Outside Europe, both India and China have demanded citizens use their cars on alternate days to reduce the exhaust fumes which are causing serious health problems for the populations of both nations. A new way of charging electric cars could help reduce the time it takes to minutes rather than hour reports the RAC on www.rac.co.uk The company Augmented Optics has revealed a new polymer material that can charge a car as fast as filling it up with fuel. The technology could totally transform the electric vehicle market.

Sussex Snippets Eastergate Vintage Valentine Event. On Saturday 11th February a charity event raising money for the parish of Aldingbourne, Barnham and Eastergate will feature a 1940s-1950s themed evening of live music, dinner, and dance. The Vintage Valentine, jive and dine event will take place in Eastergate Village Hall from 7-11pm and tickets are £20 in advance or £25 on the door. Contact: 01243 553955 or visit www.parishofabe.org.uk Shoppers in Steyning were recently asked to join forces to call for more money for local NHS services. Local Labour party members set up stall on a busy shopping day to draw attention to the latest threat to services and gather names for a petition to Theresa May calling for more money to reduce growing waiting lists - following the level of support received Labour now plans extend their activities to other high streets in the area. Contact: Arundel & South Downs Constituency Labour Party www.southdownslabour.com/ SSPlabourparty@gmail.com twitter.com/LabourASD The RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch will take place from 28-30 January and the charity is encouraging everyone to give nature a home in their garden or green space, by featuring items on their website giving information on little things that can be done to give wildlife a safe
SUSSEX LOCAL place to feed, breed and thrive.

The ball was hosted this year by broadcaster and ‘voice of Sussex’, Danny Pike and a sprinkling of celebrities enjoyed the fun including Benidorm actress and Patron of the charity, Julie Graham, footballers Kerry Mayo and Paul Jones (also a Chestnut Tree House Patron), and Stephen Webb and Chris Steed from Gogglebox. Louise Goldsmith, the Leader of West Sussex County Council, went ‘back to the floor’ to get hands-on and undertake a shift as a home care worker, when she rolled up her sleeves and spent time with Inter-County Nursing & Care Services, a home care provider based in Oving near Chichester. Louise was one of a number of senior councillors and staff at the county council to undertake home care shifts around the county in the past few weeks, and she teamed up with one of the carers, Clare McWilliam, to meet a resident and see the kind of tasks the care workers undertake and to hear how residents feel about having home care. www.westsussex.gov.uk/jobsincare With a churchyard in Old Shoreham marking her last resting place, the dramatic life of Princess Bariatinsky will be explored in a talk at Shoreham Library on Thursday 19th January, at 7pm. Many people are curious about the Russian Princess’s unusual gravestone in St Nicolas' churchyard but few know anything about her, now authors John and Jeannette Simpson will be sharing their research on the princess, which has culminated in a book on her life. Tickets are £4 each including light refreshments and are available from Shoreham Library on 01273 467966 or via Shoreham.library@westsussex.gov.uk. West Sussex schools have created a unique video message inviting local astronaut Tim Peake to make a return visit to his home county; the video invitation includes school children launching their own mini rockets and features a special poem throughout, and also includes some of the school children using sign language and specially-created artwork.

Condemnation for ‘gentleman’s agreement’ The South Downs branch of the Labour Party is condemning the “undemocratic processes around the controversial rural car parking charges now approved by Horsham District Council (HDC).“ There were “angry exchanges” between members of the public and Horsham councillors at a packed public meeting of Chanctonbury County Local Committee in Pulborough Hall, according to Jane Mote, a Labour spokesperson present at the meeting. Jane stated that residents, business owners and parish councillors from Steyning were furious that they were not being allowed to run their own car parks and claimed to have been given confused information form HDC about the facts. They called on the County Councillors not to support the plans until the facts were clearer. According to Jane, Bramber Castle County Councillor David Barling, a lawyer, said that legally he could only refuse support if he thought there would be displacement of cars on to surrounding roads. He then apparently offered his support on condition that the leader of Horsham District Council, Ray Dawe, as a “gentleman”, agree to exclude Bramber and Upper Beeding car parks from the charges. Mr Dawe agreed. Cllr Lionel Barnard then asked for a similar dispensation for Cowfold, which was similarly immediately agreed to by Mr Dawe. Sussex Local asked HDC if Ray Dawe would like to comment, and a spokesperson said “At the meeting a good case was made that very small rural car parks should not be part of the scheme. The HDC Leader agreed to propose an exception for these small car parks from the policy coming before the forthcoming cabinet meeting. This was referred to by Cllr Barling as a gentleman’s agreement. As a result of the discussion, an amendment was proposed at the Cabinet Meeting on 24 November and agreed." Contact: SSPlabourparty@gmail.com

Pulborough’s New Brewery After fifteen years brewing in The Railway Yard, Horsham, Hepworth & Co Brewers Ltd have relocated to a purpose-built, brewery in Pulborough. In keeping with Head Brewer Andy Hepworth's philosophy of “buy local,” Landbuild of Pulborough has developed the New Brewery. The site has been producing beer and lager since July this year; and a Visitors' Centre, Brewery Tours and Retail Shop are planned for Autumn 2016 - and Andy plans eventually to have a “Brewers School.” Following the closure of Horsham's old brewery, where Andy was Head Brewer, Hepworth's was founded in the millennium and began brewing in February 2001. A policy of local sourcing and utilising the skills of local producers plays a vital part in Hepworth's brewing process, and the latest seasonal cask ale: Daws IPA, is an homage to Chris Daws who grows and supplies many of the hops used in the brewing process. www.hepworthbrewery.co.uk

Home-Start Offering support and friendship for families By Lynn Smith Sometimes even the most dedicated parents can face challenges that prevent them doing all they want for their children. When those recognisable parental issues of sleep deprivation, juggling work and finances, or isolation are added to a mix of other factors such as physical ill health, depression or domestic abuse, the world for these families can become overwhelming. Fortunately, voluntary organisation HomeStart is there to offer support. An independent registered charity, Home-Start is committed to promoting the welfare of families with at least one child under five years of age and believes children need a happy and secure childhood and that parents play the key role in giving their children a good start in life and helping them achieve their full potential. The Home-Start schemes started in 1973 with the first Sussex based scheme established in 1998 - CHAMS, covering Crawley, Horsham and MidSussex, was closely followed by the Worthing & Adur and the Arun schemes. Chichester & District began supporting families in 2008. Sadly, the Worthing & Adur scheme recently closed due to lack of funds. Lois Rowlands and Bridget Richardson are Managers of Home-Start schemes – Lois became Manager of Home-Start Chichester & District at the beginning of this year, having been a Home-Start volunteer prior to this, she is also a trustee for a national breastfeeding charity (La Leche League GB); whilst Bridget came to Home-Start Arun from Victim Support and from having spent many years working with the Body Shop and the Body Shop Foundation. Both women agree that every year Home-Start receives far more referrals than it has the resources to support. Lois illustrates this fact: “Arun, with the largest district population in West Sussex, appears in the 2014 Index of Multiple Deprivation as having two wards in the top ten percent, and three in the top twenty percent most deprived areas of England.” A statistic echoed by Bridget, “In Chichester a rising number of

families were identified as vulnerable by health visitors and social services. Three of the four wards in Chichester are also identified with a high index of multiple deprivations. Many of the families that we support in the north of our area (Chichester & District) experience rural isolation, poor and expensive transport links and difficulty accessing shops and services.“ Whilst, from the outside, West Sussex may be viewed as an affluent county, there are many families – from all areas of the county – who have little support locally and need a little help when times get tough. Home-Start’s model is a simple one - that of one parent supporting another, but underlying this is a more complex blend of trust, confidence, self-esteem, coping and wellbeing. Services offered include home visiting, helping parents to access local services and Family Groups where parents can meet, talk and create their own local support network. Lois and Bridget know that early intervention works, and recognise the importance of a whole family approach. They believe that the Home-Start approach is unique: “… because the support and friendship we offer to families through our volunteers is absolutely tailored to the needs of the individual.”
They also believe that “ … listening is the greatest gift volunteers can give to families, many of whom may never have had the chance to talk openly about their feelings.” Volunteers visit a family for two to three hours a week to offer emotional and practical support and guidance, and Lois says that, “Many ‘matches’ continue as life-long friendships.” Kelly first sought help from Home-Start over fourteen years ago and over the years the Family Group has helped support and protect her children from an abusive ex-partner and to build bridges within her family. She says that being listened to “helped me to understand why I felt so low and what I should do to repair these feelings.” She is now taking West Sussex Council courses to be a support group volunteer and hopes to, eventually, volunteer for Home-Start, “and give back a little of what I’ve received.” Home-Start works alongside other statutory services amongst them: West Sussex Think Family and the Early Help teams; they take referrals from health visitors, Children's Centre Family Support Workers, midwives, social workers and community nursery nurses. They also take a number of self-referrals each year. Lois puts the importance of their work into perspective when she confirms that, “Since the year 2000 in excess of 3,000 children and their families have been supported by Home-Start Arun. In the last year alone, our volunteers have supported 134 families and their 286 children.“ Whilst Bridget says: “Last year Chichester & District supported 96 families and their 205 children.” 175 families were supported across CHAMS. Each Home-Start scheme is self-funded and, as with most charities, fund-raising is a vital tool in the organisations survival kit. Lois explains the reality, “ … we are each individual charities applying to trusts, county, town and parish councils and personal donations from the community, alongside the more traditional fundraising methods.”

28 Local Charity Looking ahead, Lois Rowlands says that, “Arun has been successful with both the Big Lottery Fund and Children in Need in the last few months, but this success still means finding a further 45 percent of our budget from other means.” Chichester & District, which survived a major fundraising crisis in 2014 by restructuring its staff team and reducing staff hours, is also part funded by a grant from BBC Children in Need and is Bridget says, “Planning a prestigious art exhibition and sale in October 2017.” At Home-Start’s core are its staff and volunteers. Lois says that finding enough volunteers to cover all of the referrals received is another issue the charity faces, and that staff can support only a certain number of volunteers safely, so funds are needed to recruit. Volunteers undertake 40 hours of training, covering topics such as safeguarding, confidentiality, bereavement, depression and the power of play. Volunteers come with a range of parenting skills budgeting, cooking, managing twins and triplets, coping with post-natal depression. Gill has been a HomeStart volunteer for over six years and is convinced that, “Thanks to the excellent preparatory course followed by the continuous support and supervision of the Home-Start team, including recognising their prowess at matching volunteers to families, it is very rare not to achieve positive outcomes.” Volunteers also help out in the office and hold fund-
raising events, doing vital work that keeps essential funds coming into the charity’s coffers. Lois says that also behind the scenes are the Trustees, whom she describes as, “A small, dedicated group who ensure the highest standards are upheld and that the governance of our scheme complies with the Charity Commission standards and those we set ourselves to give the very best support to our community’s children.” The charity is always looking to attract people who have the skills and dedication required to work as a trustees, particularly skills in areas such as Human Resources and IT. When asked what the greatest challenge faced by Home-Start, Lois and Bridget concur: “Long-term sustainability is the key for all charities right now. Without it our staff and volunteers have no stability, and our families face an uncertain future of support.”

minutes, you can then take the milk off the heat and add the mustard and left over cheese (blue and soft cheese) at this stage you can season the mixture Step 4 - You can start assembling your croquemonsieur: lay 4 slices on a baking tray and spread over the cranberry sauce, the cheesey mixture and then grate over half of the other remaining cheese (the harder cheese option) Step 5 - Now sandwich your bread and grate the remaining hard cheese on the top of the sandwich and place under the grill until nicely melted. To serve why not top with some streaky bacon or fried egg. Hollie, Joe and Staff look forward to seeing you in the New Year, our shop reopens on Tuesday 3rd January. Happy New Year!

In Your Garden Monthly gardening ideas and tasks by Andrew Staib of Glorious Gardens countless insects and amphibians. A lot of people think ponds are a lot of work but if you are not interested in keeping fish and thus need the water filtered or pumped for a water feature there is not that much to do. When you put plants in them carefully research whether they won’t spread too much and every so often scoop the pond weed off the surface of the water. Once every 5 -7 years you can empty a good amount of water and take out any silt that has collected at the bottom.
Designing a Wildlife Garden
Compost
The news can be depressing about the destruction of nature the world over and the UK has seen a massive decline in most species since the 50s with loss of habitat as the greatest single cause. Every couple of years a plant species becomes extinct in the UK alone.
You can buy barrels that are above ground with a stand that allows you to turn them which moves the compost around and aerates the material. This is the most effective way to compost plus there is no rodent problems. And what a joy to know the potato peelings
However private gardens account for nearly 20% of our urban landscape and they are the one place that is in our control to nurture and encourage wildlife. They can be our small but important way to contribute to what we love and there is nothing more satisfying than planting a shrub and seeing it feed a dozen or so different insects with its pollen and sap or see birds eat the berries of a tree we planted a year ago.
Hard Landscaping Think hard about hard landscaping. Many gardens change ownership every decade and often one garden is pulled out and another put in its place. You can try bark paths rather than paved ones, decking from sustainable pine trees rather than sandstone all the way from India or shingle rather than cement. Also rather than buy oak materials (it is highly unlikely that oak is being re planted as quickly as it is being used and most of it is coming from what is left of oak forests in Eastern Europe) Julia Young, the manager of WWF’s Global Forest and Trade Network programme at WWF-UK recently said: “We purchased goods (oak) from 17 companies, and not one could provide evidence that they had carried out sufficient due diligence.
Ponds Ponds are powerhouses of nature, not just providing water to drink and wash but are also the home to
SUSSEX LOCAL

Trees, shrubs and Perennials
tasks include not buying peat based composts of which there are surprising amount that still do in your local garden centre.
When you chose your next plant, you can think of its food and shelter giving properties.
Collect rainwater
Medium trees for the garden- the top supermarket of trees are Rowan, Malus, Yew and Buddlea.
The more we can use rainwater from our roves the less dams have to be built and maintained and the more money you will save if your water is metered. Also if you are topping up your pond it is best to use rainwater to avoid the chlorine and lime in the tap water.
Shrubs can include Skimmia, Catoneaster and Pyracantha. Perennials with fragrant flowers are good- like Knautia, Scabios, Helenium, Rudbekia, Chives, Roses and Lavender. The RHS online also has a comprehensive list of plants that are good for pollinators.
Boxes Bee boxes, hedgehog boxes, bird boxes and bat boxesmake your garden into a veritable city of homes for wildlife.
Peat Other environmentally friendly
Wild Spaces You can leave a bit of your lawn uncut. You would be amazed at how many little bugs love the privacy and edible seed heads of long grass. Plus it looks good and a swath of long grass is an antidote to having to be in complete control of everything in our lives!
Mulch Use mulch to control the weeds on your beds. This helps keep a
through the door great percentage of the weeds down, keeps the moisture in the soil so less need to water plus it improves the soil so after a few years even the most clay solid new bed starts to develop a good structure.

What to do in January
Leave the leaves in the beds this year Hard to do but leaving the leaves about allows all sorts of hibernating insects to burrow away and hide till the Spring. Leaving old piles of logs in the corner can also provide homes for the bigger creatures including hedgehogs. You can see your self as only partially owning your garden, and that the thousands of fungi, millions of ants and wood lice, bees, birds, bats and voles also need a home. Like a benevolent King or Queen you can provide a rich and pleasant land where there is enough for everyone!
Where to visit this January If you want to walk off those extra Xmas calories you can take a trip up to Kew Gardens. They have such a huge range of trees even in the middle of winter there is so much to see. Plus you can hang out in the cafes or Tropical Greenhouse for a warm break. They also have after dark tours.
The biggest jobs are the pruning of deciduous plants like Roses, Wysteria and fruit trees. The best place to go is Youtube for Pruning! Example- If you type in “Pruning a small apple tree” you will get all sorts of well meaning gardeners showing you what they do. Choose to listen to an expert and you quickly can tell. Also make sure the apple tree looks like your one as there are different types. Also in January you can sow in your greenhouse all sorts of vegetables ready to be transplanted in Spring into your plot. Plus you can start to force your Rhubarb by placing as big a pot as you can find over the heads.

Parish Councillor vacancies We are looking for volunteers who are prepared to get involved and make a real contribution to the Parish. Council meetings are held every two months with online discussions in between to keep things moving so use of a computer is essential. please email clerk@buryparishcouncil.org.uk
Trees in Bury Conservation Area
Parish Council meeting dates Meetings are held at 6.30pm in the Committee Room, Bury Village Hall. Members of the public are welcome to observe but may not take part in the meetings. District and County Councillors are often in attendance. Meeting dates are publicised on the noticeboards and on the web site. Future Meetings: 16 January 2017 at 6.30pm. 20 March 2017 at 6.30pm.
If you are considering works to trees within the Conservation Area you must provide notice to the Chichester District Planning Authority prior to carrying out any works. This is the owners’ responsibility but a reputable tree surgeon should be aware of his obligations in this respect. It should be noted that unauthorised works to trees can be subject to unlimited fines. This applies not just to felling, but also crown reduction and lopping of all species of trees. For the avoidance of doubt, the idea that seems to be circulating that leylandii and fruit trees are exempt is incorrect. Please check if you are in a Conservation Area before carrying out works to trees. The easiest way to establish this is to email planning@southdowns.gov.uk with your address and they will let you know. Bury Parish Council, www.buryparishcouncil.org.uk clerk@buryparishcouncil.org.uk

The Sandham Memorial Village Hall has served as a meeting place for over 110 years. The hall was given to the parish by Miss Mary Louisa Sandham in memory of her father, the Reverend James Sandham, a former vicar of St Giles, Coldwaltham. The hall was conveyed to the Chichester Diocese Trustees on 7 May 1903. The Diocese Trust became custodian trustees and the vicar and churchwardens were managing trustees. Although the deed gave very wide guidelines for use, it was to all intents and purposes a church hall, with the vicar of the day passing the day-to-day running of the hall to a committee. Local fundraising over the years kept the hall in reasonable condition. However, as a church (rather than
SUSSEX LOCAL a village) hall, it was not eligible for grants for improvements and maintenance. In 2001, a lengthy process to allow it to become a village hall was started. In 2006, this change of status was achieved when the Church Commissioners agreed to the hall being leased to the Parish Council (the new custodian trustees) for an initial term of 35 years. As the hall was in a poor state, money was raised from grants, donations and fundraising to provide replacement roof, inner hall ceiling, modern kitchen, curtains, disabled toilet and complete redecoration. In 2015, the car park was resurfaced and extended. The hall continues to be well used by a number of local groups including the coffee shop, dancing club, the Wild Brooks Society, whist clubs, upholstery classes and for band practice. The Post Office has operated from the hall since 1990 and is currently open 9am to 1pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. To continue to operate, the hall relies on its rental income, supported by its 100 Club lottery and by donations. The hall is available for hire for functions and has hosted numerous parties and celebrations as well as charity and village events. It is an ideal venue with kitchen facilities, outside space and excellent parking. For further information, please contact Pauline Streeter at the Post Office or on 01798 873868. www.coldwalthampc.org.uk

Pulborough Parish Council From the draft minutes of the Planning & Services Committee (P&S) 8th December 2016 127.1 Following discussions at the P&S meeting on 03.11.16, Members received comparable costs of bins and dog waste bins and a list of the existing bins in Pulborough, after being asked to consider if any additional bins are needed. It was noted that a litter bin costs £153.23 compared to £334.60 for a dog wastebin. After some discussion, Members instructed the Assistant Clerk to highlight that dog waste can be placed in normal rubbish bins on social media and Cllrs. Tilbrook, C Esdaile & Kay will meet and review if additional bins are needed, with input from Cllr. Clarke and report back at the February P&S meeting. 128. TRAFFIC CALMING - BROOMERS HILL LANE Cllr. Quested reported that Broomers Hill Lane is used as a cut through with high speeding traffic and at the right turn by The White Horse the speed is derestricted. Cllr. Quested met with the Area Highways Manager and has received approval to install gateways at either end of the lane in the hope of slowing traffic down. Agreement would need to be obtained from one landowner as the proposed installation of one gateway would be on the landowners ground. Cllr. Wallace advised that he knew the landowner in question and would speak to him about this. It was also noted that Cllr. Quested has been in touch with a volunteer group who could install the gateways free of charge. Members agreed that this would be a good idea and the Assistant Clerk was instructed to obtain costs for 4 crossbar gates with vertical ‘Broomers Hill – Please Drive Carefully’ signs and report back at the next available meeting. 129. RECTORY LANE - CONDITION OF AND CONSIDERATION OF REQUESTING CLOSURE Cllr. C Esdaile spoke about the traffic issues in Rectory Lane and advised that he carried out a survey which indicated that a high level of vehicles were using Rectory Lane as a short cut, often at high speeds. With increased traffic flow from school related vehicles this is causing even greater problems, making the area very dangerous. After considering alternative solutions, Cllr. C Esdaile feels the only solution would be to close Rectory Lane at the junction with Lower St. Cllr. Tilbrook advised that, during the meeting with the Area Highways Manager, WSCC are aiming to get proposals to help the situation in Lower St, but they are also aware that this may have an impact on Rectory Lane. Cllr. Tilbrook suggested that Cllr. C Esdaile’s comments be sent to the Area Highways Manager for their preparation of the Lower St plans, due in Q1 2017 (hopefully, with work to be carried out in Q4 2017/Q12018). Full minutes are available on the Parish Council website. Visit www.pulboroughparishcouncil.gov.uk

West Chiltington Parish Council Neighbourhood Plan Update – Have your Say! There was a wonderful response from hundreds of residents who came to the Neighbourhood Plan Open Day on the 26th November. There were stands providing information on different aspects of West Chiltington life and inviting ‘post-it note’ comments, an opportunity to try out new apps, and plenty of people available to chat with as well as very welcome refreshments throughout the day. All the many comments received are being collated to help develop our Neighbourhood Plan into a robust enough document to go through to the next stage. Government guidelines mean that we need to provide sufficient evidence to prove that the Plan is formulated through community opinion. So we need to
know what residents feel about living in West Chiltington – subjects like Character, Heritage, Leisure, Environment, Employment, Community, Youth Facilities, Housing, Connectivity – or anything else. Even if you think everything is as good as it can be we still want to know. Now is the opportunity to have your say. So PLEASE do contribute if you missed the Open Day event - you can either send in your written comments to Mrs Anna Chambers, Parish Clerk, Parish Office, Church Street, West Chiltington RH20 2JW wcpcclerk@aol.com or go straight to our new Neighbourhood Plan website: www.westchiltingtonnp.co.uk/contact-us where you can easily post a message.
