Welcome... to a packed November issue. Firework displays are included in the What’s On section which starts on page 4. If you would like your event included in our listings, please head to our website and enter it there for publication and social media distribution.

Our young readers are taken care of by our Puzzle Page and schools coverage. Some may also be interested to try to win tickets to see Peter Pan at the Horsham Capitol on page 46.

Our main feature this month profiles the Brighton charity ManKind which assists men who have suffered from unwanted sexual contact, a subject which hitherto has been largely unreported.

Autumn is the time when we clear our gardens and use the brown top bins - but where does that waste end up? Andrew investigates in his usual Gardening feature.

Sussex Snippets Thirty-two children’s artworks created doing The Bowdleflodes Wildlife Project from local schools will be exhibited at Arundel Museum during half term from 26 Oct – 3 Nov 2019. ‘Meet the Bowdleflodes’ Children’s Art Exhibition is part of The Bowdleflodes Wildlife Project, a free educational activity which teaches children about the care of endangered species and conservation using the visual arts. Free entry for all visitors.

More good causes and community projects will be helped in the future as a new ‘forever fund’ has been created for the South Downs National Park (SDNP). To kick start the endowment, Southern CoOp has donated £10,000, together with £100,000 from the Trust and £100,000 of match-funding from the SDNP Authority.

Any organisation interested in making a grant application should email mark.rose@southdownstrust.org.uk or call 01730 819219 for an initial conversation about the project. Please note the next deadline for all grant applications is 2nd March 2020.

130 local trekkers braved windy and muddy conditions to walk the marathon distance of 26.2 miles across the South Downs, raising money for local hospice St Barnabus House. The marathon trekkers raised over £40,000 for the hospice. The highest

fundraising group were a team of six men from Project Spartan - who are on track to raise an incredible £3,500 for the St Barnabus House.

Sir David Attenborough is backing a pioneering campaign to restore a vast underwater kelp forest off the Sussex coast. Historically, kelp was abundant along the West Sussex coastline, but this important habitat has since diminished over time. Restoring the kelp would bring back marine wildlife and replenish the local fisheries. It would also help fight Climate Change as kelp forests can lock up carbon just as effectively as woodland. Through the Help Our Kelp partnership, Sussex Wildlife Trust want to bring back the kelp forest, but they need community support. To find out how you can help, watch the Trust’s ‘Help Our Kelp’ video at sussexwildlifetrust.org/helpourkelp Brighton and Hove Triathlon entries for the 2020 race are now open and are expected to book up quickly.

This year had the largest participation to date, with over 1600 competitors Organisers hope to exceed this next year. www.brightonandhovetriathlon.com A new tech recycling charity Business2Schools has now received formal charitable status from the charity commission. Business2Schools puts business and schools in touch so that they can exchange valuable tech equipment and save thousands of pounds worth of tech equipment from being unnecessarily sent to landfills. www.business2schools.com At the most recent National Policing Board, Ministers confirmed that funding to recruit the first tranche of 6000 police officers is now allocated to forces and Sussex will be able to recruit 129 over the next 18 months. This is on top of the 250 extra police officers that Sussex Police have already started recruiting over the next four years. It is great news and means that Sussex Police numbers will rise by 379.

More than £18,000 has been raised after the community has rallied round to help reverse the decline of bees in the South East. A flurry of donations and fundraisers over the past few months have boosted the Bee Lines campaign, which was launched on World Bee Day on May 20th by the South Downs National Park Trust. Now the charity is calling on community groups across the region to get behind the fundraising drive, which aims to restore flowerrich habitats and create a haven for pollinators in the South Downs. www.southdownstrust.org/beelines The future of Shoreham’s multi-award winning Ropetackle Arts Centre is set to be secured after Adur District Council agreed to step in to provide thousands of pounds of funding.

Urgent action is needed to stem carbon emissions, reduce pollution and protect wildlife. The South Downs Youth Action Days are for anyone aged between 16 and 25 who is passionate about environmental action and is looking to learn practical skills to conserve and enhance the South Downs National Park. Action days are free for young people wanting to get involved across half term. southdowns.gov.uk Please email notices to: info@sussexlocal.net

Fish rescue goes swimmingly The Wey & Arun Canal Trust takes conserving wildlife very seriously, so when a section of canal in West Sussex needed draining, the Trust called on a local specialist environmental consultancy to ensure the 7,000+ fish living there came to no harm.

The Aquamaintain team used a process called electrofishing to catch the thousands of fish in the canal at Drungewick in a two-day operation last month. This humane and Environment Agency-approved method involves passing an electric current through the water, from a generator onboard a small boat.

The field of electricity causes the fish to swim towards the positive charge and become momentarily stunned, allowing the fish catchers in the water to net them and transfer them within seconds into fresh water containers onboard the boat. From there, the fish are moved to a tank of oxygenated water on the towpath, where they can then be discharged into another part of the canal.

The process results in no lasting harm to the fish, which return to their natural state within minutes. The process allows the experts to assess the health of the fish living in the canal, as well as look at the size of fish and species that thrive there.

The team gave the Wey & Arun Canal fish a clean bill of health, with pike, eels, bream, roach and carp among the fish caught.

Star visits Capitol Theatre Horsham

Billionaire Boy premiered at The Capitol recently. On the opening night the lucky audience were treated to a visit from the author himself ,David Walliams! It was a massive surprise to the cast and the audience.

There were gasps as families realised who he was, and then a huge round of applause as he joined the cast up on stage. Sussex Local competition winner Rachel said “Thank you ever so much for this prize – we had a great time and the icing on the cake was a personal appearance by David Walliams!”

Santa Claus is coming to Squires

Squire’s Christmas Grotto costs £6 per child (£1 of which is donated to charity) and includes an early Christmas present from Santa. It’s open from the date of Santa’s arrival until Christmas Eve. There’s no need to book, simply turn up on the day.

Biodiversity loss

The South Downs National Park (SDNPA) have said that the State of Nature Report 2019 makes depressing reading, and the spirit of the recent World Animal Day is somewhat lost. The report also looks at what needs to be fought for, picking out “a range of internationally important habitats, such as its lowland heathlands, ancient woodlands and chalk grasslands in the south.” The rare chalk grassland, ancient woodland and heathland habitats of the South Downs National Park support an incredible range of mammals, birds, fish, invertebrate and plant species. Some are among the rarest animals in Britain – and that’s why it’s so important we all strive to protect these aweinspiring species, the result of millions of years of evolutionary fine-tuning. Without our collective efforts to give nature the space and protection to flourish, these “natural works of art” could be lost forever.

Visit www.southdowns.gov.uk To help the SDNP protect biodiversity, here’s what you can do to make a difference:  Help stop the decline of flower meadows so vital for pollinators by supporting the Bee Lines project  Create a small space for nature in your garden or on your windowsill  Use less water  Stop using single use plastic  Volunteer for a litter pick or beach clean  Take part in 30 Days Wild run by the Wildlife Trusts.

ManKind by Lynn Smith Support for men affected by unwanted sexual experiences When thinking of victims of sexual violence or abuse, we can be forgiven for assuming, initially at least, that victims are female.

After all we are all aware of the existence of nationwide organisations such as Rape Crisis. But, shockingly, Sussex based charity, ManKind states that “1 in 6 men have been affected by unwanted sexual experiences. Given the demographics of the UK, that’s about 130,000 men in Sussex.

That's potentially over five million across England & Wales.”

ManKind supports men who have suffered any form of sexual violation including rape and childhood sexual abuse. Set up in 2000 by a group of practising counsellors who noticed that more and more of their male clients were disclosing incidents of childhood sexual abuse, but realised that there were no organisations to which these men could be referred. For almost nineteen years, the charity has provided support for men affected by

unwanted sexual experiences and now is one of just a handful of agencies in the UK that specialise in working with male survivors.

CEO Martyn Sullivan joined the organisation in 2006, and he admits that, “Men have a problem reaching out asking for help with anything,” and that many men find it particularly difficult to come forward and talk about sexual violence they may have suffered, especially if they have met with a lack of compassion and understanding in the past. “There are a lot of myths surrounding male sexual abuse, but also some truth in those myths. What we try to do is to give back control, this is the ethos of the whole programme, but it can be difficult for some people to take.” Martyn tells me that ManKind’s programme is not for everyone, not everybody wants or needs to engage with a formal service, and they are honest with individuals if this is the case.

The current programme is linear, a series of progressive steps, that offers men a way of making sense of the events they have witnessed or experienced, with each step introducing different tools to help this understanding and reduce any negative feelings. Martyn tells me that the ManKind programme ensures that the individual has counselling and also has to do some work on their own part. The programme offers up to 24 sessions of one to one weekly counselling sessions, giving long enough to explore the consequences of the abuse. This allows the individual to see that the process is progressive, and to know that there is a ‘next stage’ for them.

This next stage is a ten week course that helps men face why they feel as they do. Martyn says as a consequence of their experiences men may feel “as if they are going mad and have no power over these feelings”.

The course explains how trauma affects the brain and offers techniques to help them manage their feelings.

The last stage shows them how to use what they learned to move on in their lives. While the first of these steps is always individual, later steps offer the opportunity to share and learn from other men’s experiences within facilitated peer-support groups.

Martyn explains that men come to ManKind by individual referral, and that they “need to be in a good place to take that first step, which involves them submitting a form on the ManKind website.” Once submitted, ManKind will call the individual, which Martyn says, “Takes away the onus of making that first call from the individual.” Once the charity has made contact then an initial meeting is arranged, Martyn tells me that the, “ManKind’s service is a formal one and men have to be willing and able to attend meetings at the charity’s base in Brighton & Hove city centre.”

Martyn says that ManKind doesn’t “go much into what happened to the man, unless they are willing to do so, it’s up to them.” Martyn tells me that there is no difference in progress between those who address the traumatic event and those who do not. “Often the process will help the victim realise that at the time of the abuse they were much younger and may not have had the skills to stop what was happening to them from happening, which helps them to lose any blame or guilt they may feel.” Martyn stresses that ManKind … “Cannot take away what happened but we can help [victims] deal with their feelings.”

Are there, I wonder, similarities between male and female agencies, have the male agencies benefited from experiences learned in female organisations.

Martyn responds by saying that previously men may have called female helplines such as Rape Crisis and would have met what he describes as “varying degrees of reaction.” But that male organisations have been able to learn from the experiences of those agencies set up for female victims, in terms of what’s worked and what hasn’t. Martyn goes on to say that,

“Unlike a lot of female agencies, ManKind does not adopt a gender exclusive policy.

Most of the men approaching the charity are victims of childhood sexual abuse, thirty percent of whom will have been abused by women.” And that the rough rule that male victims should only be seen by male counsellors, and vice versa, has changed enormously, “There are very few male counsellors in the field and the driver is quality not gender.

Most people simply want to see a good counsellor whom they are able to trust.” As a result the clinical team at ManKind is mixed gender.

Earlier this year ManKind launched a Support our Service campaign, the aim being to create a Community Owned Organisation, where the public is the major stakeholder. At the time ManKind’s press release stated that if “only 3,000 people gave £3 per

month, ManKind would be able to cover 50 percent of its operating costs.” In order to support this venture, the charity is also seeking new trustees. When I ask how this campaign has progressed, Martyn is realistic. The charity, he admits, hasn’t had the resources to promote the initiative and that “it’s very hard to get people to put hands in pockets, especially with the uncertainty of Brexit.” Plus the search for trustees is “endless.” ManKind, Martyn admits, “is not a glamorous charity,” and that someone wanting to be a trustee may wish to be involved with some-

thing more “cheerful.” Even so, “The trustee board of a charity not only governs its activities but it also represents the cause through a mixture of people with a range of skills which contribute to our aims and objectives.” ManKind is particularly keen to hear from people with experience in organisational leadership and management, marketing, fundraising and clinical skills.

Martyn says that one of the key challenges facing the charity is reaching those people who would want to support it. Given the figures, he says, “There is a good chance that we all know a man who has been affected by sexual violation, though, of course, he may not have told us.” www.mkcharity.org 01273 911 680 ManKind is not a crisis centre, for immediate help contact: The National Male Survivor Helpline 0808 800 5005

Festive Apple & Date Chutney A perfect Christmas gift idea Ingredients 



          

900g Sussex Bramley apples, peeled, cored and chopped 400g Sussex eating apples, peeled, cored and sliced 3 shallots, halved and sliced 1 large red chilli, deseeded and chopped 180g West Chiltington honey 250ml cider vinegar 100g stoned dates, chopped 50g mixed dried fruit 25g ginger, peeled and finely chopped Juice of 1 lime 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp grated nutmeg 1 1/2 tsp salt

Method

1. Tip all the ingredients into a pan and warm over a low heat stirring occasionally to combine all the flavours together. Turn the heat up a little and let the mixture boil until the Bramley apples have broken down to pulp, but the eating apples still hold their shape. Be sure to stir occasionally to

stop the chutney from sticking to the pan, this can take 45 minutes to 1 hour. You can tell when the chutney is ready when you can pass your wooden spoon through the mixture leaving a channel briefly though the mix, there should not be liquid pooling into the channel.

2. Whilst the chutney cooks, sterilise your jars.

Once the chutney is ready you can pot the mixture into your jars (the mixture should be enough for 2 500ml jars.) The chutney can be enjoyed within a few days but best left for a few weeks to mellow and mature and will keep for a year.

Recipe kindly supplied by Hollie from Village Larder, Squires Garden Centre Washington.

Property investment

By Chris Ennis FRICS Over the years I have been involved with numerous refurbishment projects throughout Sussex. Clients maybe looking to create an investment package, some are looking to buy for their own occupation, whilst others are endeavouring to resell on completion and make a profit. The rules are invariably the same whichever path is taken. There is no certainty of success, and the problems can be daunting, but on occasions the rewards may become compensation.

Finding a property with potential for improvement and profit may not be easy. There are occasions when property with ‘potential’ does not come to the open market. A prospective purchaser should keep an eye on the press, and research values through the internet. Look for a property where there is some latent value that can be unlocked eg. scope for an extension, conversion to flats, rooms in the roof voids. Examine properties for sale by auction.

Estimate the likely realistic value of the refurbished property. Endeavour to estimate all refurbishment costs including materials, labour, rubbish disposal, purchase / sale, legal costs/planning charges, stamp duty, finance and sales agent’s cost all including VAT.

Then add a sum (10%?) for contingencies. With these figures a theoretical surplus (profit) can be estimated, and this may then attract the tax man’s attention. In some instances, the purchase of a second property may attract additional stamp duty above the ‘normal’ rates.

The investor is looking to better the very low interest rates currently available through banks and building societies. By buying a property, preparing it to be suitable for rental and installing tenants yield rates can be improved substantially. Don’t underestimate the aggravation of managing the property on a day to day basis or the cost of employing an agent to undertake this task. Whilst most tenancies are relatively trouble free; you periodically hear horror stories of rogue tenant behaviour.

Over the years property values have increased but there have been periods of decline in values Over the last several months values have fluctuated but have not increased significantly. What may happen when the uncertainty of Brexit is finally resolved?

Bury Primary School Pride and Prayers

It has been great to see how quickly all of our new children have settled into being part of the Bury family. I am visited daily by children of all ages getting to show their wonderful work to me and having their photo taken ready to be placed on my wall.

me with such pride and passion, it was amazing to watch and listen to.

I am sharing all this because it is a hugely privileged position I am in, getting to see the children responding to their fantastic teachers and producing work they are hugely proud of. The interaction between the two boys is also a regular event, but one that could be easily looked over as this supportive nature the children have for each other is the norm. Having taught in various other schools, I can assure you there really is something quite special about the children here at Bury, something that is created by the tremendous partnerships between families and school.

The Reception children have visited me beaming with their freshly formed ‘m’s and were very excited to see two in my name badge. This week a Year 1 visited me to show me the prayer he had written and proudly told me how he had written it all himself. Just as he was leaving to head back to class one of the Year 6 boys came into my room, holding his English book and a beaming smile. The Year 1 looked at his book before patting the Year 6 on the back and saying ‘great work’ and getting a ‘thank you’ in response. The Year 6 child had been sent to me because of the powerful imagery he had used whilst writing about an old headteacher’s wife who mysteriously fell down the old school well. He read it out to

Finally, the children were creating prayers and I was blown away by the way one of our Year 6 children wrote theirs. Here are just a couple of lines to give you an idea:

The oldest class at St James’ enjoyed the last of the summer weather at Cobnor Activity Centre in Chichester Harbour during September.

The children experienced a range of outdoor adventurous activities including sailing, canoeing , kayaking and raft building as well as cycling, archery and orienteering. Staying away from home for three days with the children from Amberley School was an exciting adventure in itself and all had a fabulous time.

‘The children learn a lot more than the adventurous activities when they go on residential,’ said Jon Gilbert,

St Mary’s Pulborough Planets & Fireworks We loved having the Observatory Science Centre from Herstmonceux come and visit the school and the children were thrilled with the amount of information that they learnt. Year 5 had a fantastic morning with experts from the Planetarium finding out about the planets and where they are in the solar system with visual representations inside a dome. The children were wowed by the special effects and this experience has enriched our learning about Space.

The children threw themselves into preparations for the Pulborough Harvest Fayre, making circus-themed scarecrows to line the path up the Glebe Field. Well done to the winners - Robyn and Sophie D won first prize for Trixie. Second place was Ella W and Rex, Rosie and Teddy M for Dumbo, and third prize to Ella and Lucy C for Goldie the uni-cyclist. There was a good turnout for the Harvest Workshop in St. Mary’s Church where the children enjoyed a morning of craft activities, based on the theme of Harvest.

Years 3 and 4 have been enjoying Forest School events – Year 3 had a Stone Age day, making mattresses from straw, cooking damper bread, making and painting pottery with natural pigments and a great time was had by all! The children in Sierra Leone and USA classes had fantastic fun in the sunshine at Forest School for our super starter days for this term's 'Rumble in the Jungle' topic. They took part in a range of exciting activities, including making delicious rainforest cookies, fabric printing with leaves and plants, planting pollinators, hapazome and completing a rainforest and woodland animal hunt. We also enjoyed sharing the beautiful book 'The Inner Sense of Trees,' writing rainforest poems and making dye baths using beetroot, hibiscus and saffron.

After a gap of many years, it was wonderful to be able to host a firework display this year. All 400 tickets sold out within a week, which was amazing! The school playground was packed with an appreciative audience. Many thanks to Aurora for putting on the display for us and to the Parish Council for allowing us the use of the second rugby field for launching the fireworks.

Paws for thought Dental issues In a study by VetCompass, that looked at the prevalence of disorders in dogs recorded in primary care veterinary practices, dental disease was in the top three disorders seen. A separate study Dr Julian Hoad showed acquired dental disease was the most common problem found in rabbits with 40.1% affected.

There is no doubt that dental disease is a widespread problem in the pets that we see in practice.

As with most things, being aware of a problem or the potential for a problem is the first step to resolving it.

For many pet owners their pets’ mouth is usually something that they do not look in and a dental problem may not become obvious until there are other signs present such as the pet eating less, dropping food or bad breath.

Toothbrushing isn’t just for humans – Bad breath doesn’t have to be a problem for our pets. It is something that we can help to prevent and often successfully improve. However, the prevention side is often put in the “too hard” pile by owners. The thought of trying to brush the wriggly puppy’s teeth or the not

very impressed cat’s teeth is daunting and therefore avoided. Yet we know that brushing pets’ teeth can be one of the most effective ways of preventing dental disease.

The other aspect, and one of particular importance for rabbits, is diet. Getting the diet right can also help with dental disease and, just as importantly, will aid in reducing obesity which is one of the major welfare concerns in pets.

Prevention is not feasible for all owners and even when owners do all the right things, dental disease can still occur which is why it is vital that pets get regular dental check-ups.

Keeping Your Skin Looking Young & Healthy

By Heather Smith There is a genetic link to how our skin ages, of course, but there are also other factors which affect how your skin ages.

The first factor is stress. Chronic stress will increase blood sugar levels, which correlate with the speed of ageing.

Excess cortisol can cause degradation of collagen and connective tissues, both of which will contribute to how your skin looks. Another factor is menopause. Oestradiol levels drop considerably during menopause, which results in drier skin with reduced elasticity and lower collagen content.

Looking at the nutrition side of things, we know that a diet high in grains and gluten can weaken connective tissue. We know that eating sufficient good quality fat is a good thing for reducing age related skin dryness. Eating a good variety of vegetables is always a good thing, and low intakes of vitamin C have been significantly associated with the prevalence of wrinkles, due to its involvement in making collagen.

Overall, higher intakes of antioxidant rich veg is thought to reduce the effect of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs are proteins or fats which become glycated, and are something we want to reduce our exposure to as they can make collagen lose flexibility and become more susceptible to damage. AGEs can also damage elastin which can lead to sagging and wrinkled skin. AGEs are also associated with liver spots on the skin.

Regularly eating food exposed to high and dry heat contributes to production of AGEs, with things like crackers and cookies being shown to be the biggest producers. Marinating your food in lemon juice or vinegar for a few hours before cooking can reduce AGEs by about 90%, which is pretty good going! Also consider steaming most of your food. Smoking, sun damage and a generally poor diet high in sugar will also contribute significantly to AGEs. Heather Smith is a fat loss specialist Personal Trainer.

There’s no need to be scared of the dentist says Arvin Mirzadeh from Vitality Dental How many of you reading this can truly claim not to mind a trip to the dentist? I can bet my bottom dollar that it won’t be many. Over the last two decades or so, dentists have worked hard to reassure anxious patients who have had a bad experience at a school dentist in the 1960s or perhaps even a heavy-handed colleague filling every tooth with metal in the 1980s.

Every dental practice you visit will now advertise gentle, pain-free dentistry. And thank goodness they do.

From where I sit, on the front line, I see the problem is still immense. Patients continue to stay away in their droves, and each week at Vitality we must see at least one new patient who has not been to the dentist for a decade or more. These patients have often experienced pain, or a deterioration in the appearance of their teeth, but have still been reluctant to take that first step. They come terrified, sometimes unable to tolerate even an examination, and it is so unfair that they have been dealt this blow by a member of my profession often decades ago.

Over the years, a lot of effort has gone into the education of the public and dental professionals now go out of their way to comprehensively inform patients of all their options as opposed to telling patients what they need. We find that a lot of patients take an interest in the appearance of their teeth, and also increasingly the health and quality of facial skin. Many patients now understand the benefits of non-invasive treatments such as teeth whitening, while others are getting increasingly savvy with occasional use of preventive anti-wrinkle treatments. Gone are the days of discoloured teeth being drilled down and covered with crowns or veneers; nowadays we treat most cases with whitening and bonding, where teeth are lightened gently at home and then minimally treated with adhesive fillings to achieve symmetry.

Coldwaltham PC Edited extracts from the draft minutes of the Annual Meeting held on 17th September 2019.

Public Participation A resident wishes to bring to the Council’s attention the issue of the motorbikes which travel along the main road (A29) every weekend, very loudly and quickly. The resident has spoken to both the police and the owners of Whiteways, where the motorcycles meet, pointing out that they are promoting their facility to motorbikes. The Council commented that it is a challenging situation. The Council is active on these issues reflecting the 2014 Village Plan. With the Police, they have set up a speedwatch and will try to regulate and reduce traffic in the longer term.

Chairman’s Report Councillor N has received various complaints regarding overnight parking throughout the village and the increasing problems residents have with their cars being scraped by other road users. The Councillor highlighted that residents in the village are getting older, and the number of cars is increasing. The Councillor has been trying to negotiate with residents

regarding the local cars parking on the road. It was suggested that if a small amount of the roadside verge was changed to carriageway this would allow slightly more space on the roadside for cars to pass parked cars.

Despite this suggestion, it was noted that car ownership has increased, and that none of the issues highlighted are illegal so there would be no enforcement.

Also, the Government in planning directives has reduced the amount of parking space which needs to be allocated to each new home.

The Councillor advised that he had recently met with the Sandham Hall Chairperson, Simon Berry, who is seeking support in the village for a community Electrical Car Charging Point. Accessibility to a local charging point would reduce the environmental impact from petrol vehicles and encourage more local drivers to make the switch to electric vehicles.

Councillor N had also met the Pulborough Parish Council Chairman, who highlighted issues regarding the entry point to the River Arun at Swan Corner and shared his Use of Footpaths Charter, which is a summary of the existing regulations.

Fittleworth PC Traffic Working Group Fittleworth Parish Council, together with members of Fittleworth & District Association and Fittleworth Speedwatch, has formed a traffic working group to investigate different ways for the local community and visitors to walk, cycle, ride and drive safety around the parish. There are many issues that we face as a parish including traffic speed and the number of lorries passing through our village. Do we want more signage, road markings and enforcement or behavioural change through physical landscaping and gateways? These are questions that need further investigation and careful planning before final decisions are made. In the summer we held a well attended parish meeting inviting residents to hear about the issues that the parish faces, the work we have undertaken to date and the relationships that have been started with South Downs National Park and West Sussex Highways.

Funding & decisions One of the key issues that we face is financial, and, with no immediate opportunities for funding from the parish Council or at County level, it is more than likely that any measures will require the raising of funds from within the parish itself. We must also accept that many decisions will require the approval of West Sussex Highways, and policies in place at county and national level

Pulborough Parish Council Edited extracts from the Pulborough Parish Council Planning and Services committee meeting held on 3rd October 2019.

Steyning Neighbourhood Plan Members of the Committee received the regulation 14 consultation regarding the Steyning Neighbourhood Plan and resolved to submit the following:  Members are concerned that the allocation of no new houses increases the pressure on Pulborough and other neighbouring parishes.  There is not enough information on the Local Green Space review, it needs more detail and photographs before it is complete.

Christmas trees along Lower Street The Deputy Clerk advised that three quotations were requested for trees, but only one was received for real Christmas trees with lighting along Lower Street.

Members resolved to recommend to Full Council to accept the quotation from Festive Illuminations at a total cost of £3310 for 38 trees and 2 sets of lights.

A pre-order for the trees is required before Full Council can ratify these costs due to ordering deadlines. It was also resolved to keep the requested donation from local businesses to £10. Only two businesses did not send a donation last year.

can limit some schemes that we would like to pursue.

Planning Applications DC/19/0845 Location: Land at junction of Hill Farm Lane and Stane Street, Codmore Hill, Pulborough.

Councillor H was booked as an objector on behalf of the parish Council to the Planning Committee meeting and was not happy with the way the meeting was conducted, so has requested a written transcript of the meeting.

He has also requested why the major point of the meeting for the above application was ignored, i.e. the referred to Horsham District Council’s Gypsy and Traveller Site Allocation Plan DPD 2017. He commented, “the process has identified 68 pitches for use as Gypsy and Traveller accommodation. This is more than sufficient to meet the District’s accommodation requirements of 60 pitches for the next 10 years. The total requirement for the 15 year period to 2032 is 78 pitches, meaning a further 10 pitches will need to be identified.”

Councillor H is due to speak further with Horsham District Council on this matter before it is resolved.
