The loss of hundreds of jobs at its largest employer has prompted fears that Horsham could become a commuter town with little economic vitality. District councillors David Holmes and Leonard Crosbie issued the warning after Novartis revealed it will axe up to 550 of its 950 full-time equivalent jobs in Horsham in the next two years. The pharmaceutical company said it was too early to say how many jobs would
go at any particular time or how many staff would be offered jobs elsewhere. But The Resident understands Novartis has already offered some staff new jobs as far away as Basel in Switzerland. Novartis is swinging the jobs axe largely because drugs at Horsham are coming to the end of their use and setting up a new production plant at Horsham would be too expensive. Cllr Holmes, Liberal Democrat group leader on Horsham District Council, said: “The announcement by Novartis was completely out of the blue. I hadn’t got a clue it was about to happen, but it is very damaging for the town. “I don’t want Horsham to become just a

commuter town, but losing a lot of jobs is a step towards that. To have people in the town during the day is a good thing for the town. “If people travel short distances to work it’s good for their health and they can spend more time with their children and with their community. People who commute long distances are not going to have that. “I don’t think we’ve done enough to attract businesses to the town. It’s a fantastic place and we’ve not promoted it anything like as much as we should have done in the last few years.” Continued on Page 2

Continued from Page 1 Cllr Holmes, who represents Horsham Park ward, added: “Novartis has been excellent in terms of supporting the local community, including money for the new garden in Horsham Park.” Cllr Crosbie (Lib Dem, Trafalgar) said: “It’s very disturbing news. Novartis is a highly respected company and employer. “We’ve developed quite a number of small businesses in Horsham district in the last decade, which is something we are proud of.
Horsham could ‘become a commuter town if we’re not more aggressive
’
“But the proximity of Gatwick and London could result in Horsham becoming a commuter town if we don’t become more aggressive in attracting inward investment. “We need to ensure we maintain a strong core of business here. There’s no stigma in being a commuter town, but a town needs a commercial and business life of its own.” Cllr Christine Costin, who also represents Trafalgar, said: “The Novartis site has always been a major source of employment. Most local people will know someone who has worked at this site. “Over the years people have watched the location grow and expand from Ciba Laboratories into a large, highly specialised complex for internationally acclaimed Novartis. “The dramatic announcement of substantial job losses came as a depressing surprise and the consequences will be felt across the whole community. “I feel really sorry for those employees at Novartis whose future suddenly seems uncertain. I hope Novartis will give them every support and assistance. “Townspeople will care about what happens to them, and local representatives will be seeking to ensure all opportunities to improve the local employment situation are taken. “It is clear that economic upheaval at global and national levels will inevitably lead to changes in businesses and employment. We have yet to see the full picture. “Everyone will need to work
together to encourage new business and to stimulate fresh interest in Horsham. “There are very few places anywhere in Britain that can offer the first-rate business potential that can be found here. “Many moons ago I used to work where Novartis is now, as a research librarian with Ciba Laboratories when they had just built a state-ofthe-art research division. “Novartis has since developed a modern research unit which completely overshadows the facility that I knew. “The research division is expected to stay in Horsham, which is some consolation. The work there is very valuable and should lead to more medical breakthroughs. “For all the staff at Novartis these will be unsettling times – bad for them and bad for the local economy. A sense of solidarity is needed to pull everyone through.” Conservative councillor Robert Nye, leader of the district council, told The Resident: “We are saddened by this news and our thoughts are with those people affected. “With other agencies and the voluntary sector, we are helping to coordinate advice and information for those who need it. “This news needs to be looked at on a wider basis, as pharmaceutical companies are important to the economy and the UK needs to ensure it remains a strong competitor in the world market.” Ann Swain, administrator of Horsham Chamber of Commerce, whose members include Novartis, said: “We are very concerned about the loss of jobs in the area. It’s quite a blow for the town. “We don’t yet know what level of skills is affected, but it could mean a lot of highly skilled workers moving away. “It’s another demonstration of how the economic strength of Horsham is quite dependent on decisions taken outside the country and in the global economy. “We want to see more encouragement given to the commercial side of business so that there are places other than retail. “Our industrial parks are rundown compared to any of the other towns nearby. “Horsham District Council is doing a lot of work in the town centre on the retail side, but we keep saying to them there’s a lot more to business than retail.” Mark Froud, chief executive of
Cllr David Holmes, Lib Dem leader
Sussex Enterprise, said: “This is very sad for the individuals who have lost their jobs. “Novartis is one of the leading companies in Horsham and has been for many years. The UK has benefited a lot from investment, but Sussex has lost out in this instance.” Horsham MP Francis Maude was unavailable for comment before The Resident went to press last night, but
I don’t think we’ve ‘done enough to attract businesses ’
science minister David Willetts said: “This announcement from Novartis is disappointing news, which arises from their global restructuring. “The life sciences sector is key to our future economic growth. That is why we will publish an action plan for the sector as part of the growth review at next week’s Budget.”

Youngsters plead: Save Our Scout Hut Asbestos discovery means Scouts and Guides need cash soon Matthew James News Editor
matthew@the-resident.co.uk
Children from Billingshurst Scouts and Guides were out in force in the village on Saturday morning with the message: Save Our Hut! A routine survey, carried out before planned refurbishment, unexpectedly uncovered white asbestos in two walls and the ceiling of the main hall in Lower Station Road. No one’s health has been endangered by the substance, but the hut has been closed. It will cost about £30,000 to remove the asbestos and repair the building. The Scouts and Guides have also lost tents, sporting equipment, props, clothes and other equipment stored in the roof space, which may have been exposed to some contamination.
Fundraising Officer Glyn Pullen said: “The discovery will cost us many thousands of pounds to recover from. “We have therefore started a major fundraising and awareness campaign which we hope will help us recover from this setback. “We have already had some very generous contributions and offers of help from the local community, and we aim to build on that. “We had a great turnout on Saturday morning, with more than 150 children and supporters helping to spread the message, showing how much they enjoy being part of the local Scouting and Guiding movement, how important the Scout Hut is to them and making sure that everyone in Billingshurst became aware of our plight.” Publicity officer Paul Starkey added: “We have 200 children in our local units – Rainbows, Beavers, Brownies, Cubs, Guides, Scouts and Explorers
– all of whom normally use our hut every week. “We are keeping the units running by hiring alternative local venues, but this restricts the range of activities we can offer and causes us to incur additional costs. “We have just had a very generous donation of £1,000 from one local lady, plus a number of smaller contributions from individuals and local businesses.”

Chainsaw massacre in Storrington Matthew James News Editor
matthew@the-resident.co.uk
Residents fear tree-cutting and a giant bonfire are the prelude to a planning application on the edge of the South Downs National Park. People in Kithurst Park, Storrington, woke up to the sound of chainsaws as nine men started cutting down a large number of substantial mature trees including Oak, Scots Pine and Birch. Brian Bailey, of Kithurst Park, said: “It transformed the site into a scene of devastation as the cut-down trees lay scattered over the site. “We do not know which company carried out the tree-cutting work as they arrived in an unmarked lorry. “Immediate contact was made with the owner by my neighbour, who was informed that the trees were being removed to make way for a housing development and that a developer would be applying for planning permission. “When asked if she would at least save one Silver Birch tree, which would have provided a degree of screening, she refused and said they were all coming down. “Contact was immediately made with our local councillor and district councillor, who attempted to get tree preservations orders (TPOs), but being Saturday they failed to find anybody who could make the order. “Contact with Horsham District Council’s planning department established that a formal planning
application has not yet been made and no written communications have been received. “It would appear that nobody in Kithurst Park knew anything about the proposed project until they heard the sound of the saws as nine men attacked the trees. “Destruction of these magnificent trees is a loss to the natural habitat, character, distinctiveness and views from both Kithurst Park and the South Downs National Park. “Birds and wildlife have also been
greatly affected, particularly at this time of year when the birds are busy nest-building. “Adding a housing development to this location will not enhance this area of outstanding natural beauty which is enjoyed by so many people. “Tree contractors returned on Tuesday, with saws once more ringing out as they cut up the felled trees and lit a massive bonfire which engulfed surrounding properties.” A spokesman for Horsham District Council said: “We are aware of this
situation. “There are no Tree Preservation Orders on the site, nor any other constraints on the trees. In such a situation, landowners can do what they like with trees. “The council has not had any applications for planning permission for the site since 1977, nor has it received any preliminary enquiries.” Kithurst Park Residents’ Association will discuss the issue at its annual general meeting on Friday next week, March 25.
News in Brief Lottery for life-saver Sussex Air Ambulance is canvassing for members to join its lottery and help keep the life-saving helicopter flying. Representatives are out and about in towns and villages throughout the county trying to sign up supporters to their lottery. Canvassers for the Sussex Air Ambulance carry a photo identification badge with their name and ID number. There is also a telephone number that the public can ring for further verification. Lottery team leader Katie Underdown said: “We are very aware of the fact that there are a lot of people knocking on doors and unfortunately there are some disreputable people out there. “We go to great lengths to make sure our lottery canvassers are given extensive and professional training, but we urge people to call us for reassurance if they are in any doubt. “Funds raised through the lottery can literally mean the difference between life and death to our patients.” Sussex Air Ambulance needs £1.7 million per year to keep the helicopter flying and relies almost entirely on voluntary donations.
Chance to speak out Each secondary school in Horsham district has been invited to send up to 20 pupils to the Speak Out youth conference at Brighton Road Baptist Church, Horsham, today (Friday). Through workshops and fun activities, participants will explore choice and independence, relationships, image and stereotypes, and discuss how to stay happy in light of the growing pressures on young people. The event also gives young people a chance to express their views on other issues and to get involved in local decision-making. Speak Out has been organised by Horsham District Council, in conjunction with Brighton Road Baptist Church and West Sussex Youth Service.
Drugs arrest A 39-year-old man was arrested for alleged drug-related offences after a warrant was carried out at a Horsham address. Police from Horsham and a police dog unit searched a property in Bluecoat Pond, Christ’s Hospital, shortly before 9am last Thursday, March 10. A local man was arrested on suspicion of possessing a controlled drug with intent to supply and money laundering. He has been bailed until May 3, pending further enquiries. Anyone with information about suspected drug dealing can contact Sussex Police on 0845 6070999 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Social care cuts Fewer people will receive social care in West Sussex as the county council makes savings. Cllr Peter Catchpole, county council Cabinet member for adults’ services, has decided the council should no longer provide for moderate levels of adult social care needs. It means the council will focus on substantial and critical level needs from April 1, bringing West Sussex in line with nearly 80 per cent of English authorities. All recipients of adult social care will be reassessed. Any changes to the services or funds received by an individual will take effect over a period consistent with their needs and abilities. The change will save the council £2.2 million in 2011-12 and £4.3 million in 2012-13. A total of £750,000 will be reinvested in the voluntary sector each year, towards community development and activities that promote wellbeing and other alternative services. This investment will be further supported through health and wellbeing hubs from September. Cllr Catchpole said: “Services will be in place for those directly affected by this decision, including the health and wellbeing hubs that will provide a central point of contact for information and advice, and a database of what’s available locally. “I am fully aware of the strength of feeling towards the proposed changes. But the decision has to be seen against the backdrop of the county council receiving one of the lowest grant settlements from the government for the past nine years. “The financial position is the worst we have ever faced, with a need to save £79 million as a council over the next three years.”

2,500 homes approved despite some concerns Station with fast link to London part of scheme backed by councillors Matthew James News Editor
matthew@the-resident.co.uk
Plans for 2,500 homes between Horsham and Crawley have finally been approved after years of wrangling. The development control (north) committee of Horsham District Council overwhelmingly supported Crest Nicholson’s proposals for Kilnwood Vale, near the A264 and the boundary with Crawley Borough Council’s area. One councillor did not vote, but all of the others backed the scheme for 2,500 homes, a neighbourhood centre, library, pub, primary care centre, care home, land for a primary school and a railway station with a fast link to London. Their support came despite concerns that the proposed proportion of affordable housing – about 30 per cent – was less than the government’s target of 40 per cent. Council officers and councillors have yet to agree the exact details of the development, but the outline permission granted on Tuesday means Crest Nicholson is confident of building some homes by the Spring of next year. Conservative councillor Liz Kitchen, who represents Rusper and Colgate, told the committee: “Before 2006 I was utterly opposed to any

building in the Horsham-Crawley gap. When this came through it seriously hurt me. I didn’t like it at all. “Having said that, I’m also a realist. There’s an undoubted need for housing within the south east and I’ve been fully involved with this right from the beginning. “I accept that the development will almost certainly go ahead on the site. At the end of the day I will support it on the grounds we will get the best housing development.” Crawley borough councillor Sally Burke, who was allowed to speak but not to vote, said: “We have very high standards in the council (Crawley) for our affordable housing and they are very well received. “I hope Crest Nicholson will be able to do something to move it forward to our standards.”
If this development ‘doesn’t go ahead, there will be no houses here for people to buy
’
Crawley councillor Stephen Joyce added: “Your target (for affordable housing) is 40 per cent, ours is 40 per cent. For 2,500 homes, that’s 1,000. We’ve got 700 and that’s harsh. “Then we’re told only 30 per cent
will be rented. That’s 210 homes and it’s far too low. “We’re not delivering the houses that people want. People are on the housing register because they can’t afford to buy.” But Cllr Robert Nye, Conservative leader of Horsham District Council, hit back: “I would urge members to remember that if this development doesn’t go ahead, there will be no houses here for people to buy.” Cllr Roy Cornell (Con, Roffey South) said: “I haven’t heard anybody tell us why we need 2,500 houses south of Bewbush. “Are we saying that in due course the economy of this area is going to explode? If someone could turn round to me and say we’re going to experience an economic explosion, perhaps I could accept the need. “Another 2,500 houses is going to put a strain on our water supply.” Cllr Leonard Crosbie (Lib Dem, Trafalgar) said there was a demand for houses from people moving out of areas such as south London and from others who wanted to be near Gatwick Airport. Cllr Crosbie said the 40 per cent target for affordable housing was unrealistic and he was happy to support the development. Cllr David Holmes, Lib Dem group leader, also voted for the plans but said detailed issues should have been sorted out a long time ago.
News in Brief Plan to fight crime Horsham District Community Safety Partnership has a three-year plan to target five areas of crime and disorder – antisocial behaviour, acquisitive crime, environmental crime, road safety and serious violent crime. As The Resident reported last week, Sussex Police figures show Horsham district is the safest place to live, work and visit in West Sussex. But Partnership board chairman Natalie Brahma-Pearl, director of community services at Horsham District Council, said: “Safety is a real concern for our residents and we are totally committed to building upon this success (the latest figures). “Although all of the agencies within the Partnership are facing difficult resource decisions in the current economic climate, I can guarantee we will carry on working together to make this district safer.” The Partnership brings together the district and county councils, Sussex Police, West Sussex Fire and Rescue, Surrey and Sussex Probation Trust and NHS West Sussex.

Mick Lewin and St John Stanley, both from Billingshurst, Chris Kemp (Horsham) and Peter Thorpe-Hincks (Steyning) are part of a UK rescue team in Ofunato, about 100km north of Sendai and 130km north of the damaged nuclear plant at Fukushima.

Billingshurst firefighters will wash cars between 10am and 4pm tomorrow (Saturday) in return for a donation to the Firefighters Charity, which helps injured firefighters. The event will also give firefighters a chance to chat to residents about fire and road safety. Andy Tonks, protection manager for West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, said: “All too often our crews see first-hand how fires and road traffic collisions can devastate lives. “So it’s great to be able to take this more relaxed opportunity to pass on what may be life-saving tips and advice, while at the same time raising money for a great charity.”

Cottoning on to a record attempt Fairtrade Horsham encouraged people in Swan Walk to decorate a Fairtrade cotton pennant, which was then stitched to tape to form a string of bunting. The Fairtrade movement, which aims to break the world record of 2,696m-long bunting, says cotton producers in developing countries face unfair competition from heavily subsidised producers. Fairtrade chairman Gaynor Cooper said: “The magnificent support by the public of Horsham produced more than 76 metres of bunting. “This will be on show in the Oxfam shop and the Christian Centre before being sent to join bunting from across UK. “The finished tape will be displayed in Central London on May 8. Watch the media – and the Guinness Book of Records!”

Business group says ‘Yes, but…’ to new housing plan Billingshurst Chamber of Commerce is supporting the possible development of 500 houses, but with conditions to ensure the revitalisation and prosperity of the village. The Chamber, which represents more than 80 local companies and over 500 employees, is taking part in Horsham District Council’s consultation process on development in the district. It says the potential benefits of Billingshurst Option 3, for 500 houses and infrastructure, must be put into legal contracts to guarantee schools, a bypass, sewerage, drains and a cemetery. The Chamber also wants a master plan for village centre shopping and parking – “a cogent plan for Jengers Mead and Billingshurst’s retail facilities” – and specific plans for extra employment. Chamber chairman Susan Venturi said: “Billingshurst needs more
houses. Our members would prefer to see Billingshurst control its own destiny with planned development in a well-defined area, plus the additional benefits and infrastructure.
our heads in ‘theSticking sand and saying no to any development is not an option
’
“These benefits must be guaranteed and not be empty promises or smoke and mirrors. “Sticking our heads in the sand and saying ‘no’ to any form of development is not an option. This would lead to disparate groups of chimney pots cropping up around the village, which Horsham District Council would be obliged to approve to meet their national obligation.
“That is why Option 1 is unrealistic, short-sighted and not ‘real’. It would be devastating for Billingshurst. We must move forward – or we will move backwards. “This consultative process gives the people of Billingshurst a unique opportunity to influence the reshaping of our village. “The Chamber will commit as much time and effort to it as is needed. Our objective is to see a thriving and prosperous Billingshurst. Opting to do nothing will guarantee its death.” Developers Bellway Homes, Reside Developments and Devine Homes control and own land east of Billingshurst, where they hope to build 500 to 600 homes. The consortium held the first of three invitation-only liaison group meetings at Billingshurst Village Hall last week. Andrew Munton, of Bellway Homes, said: “We are committed to working with residents and will
continue to consult with them. “Through the work of the community liaison group, we are able to discuss the results of the exhibition with key stakeholders and work in partnership with community leaders to understand the aspirations of the local community.” The consortium intends to submit a planning application to Horsham District Council in May after further liaison group meetings on April 4 and April 20. But Sue Kingston, treasurer of the Save Billingshurst Action Group, told The Resident: “It would split the community totally, so there’s ‘this end’ and ‘that end’. “We think there are too many houses being built on green fields. It would be far fairer to distribute any houses on brownfield sites, preferably scattered throughout the district. “The residents of Billingshurst have made hundreds and hundreds of objections, several times.”
Carbon detection will be elementary for youngsters Pupils can learn how to become a carbon detective at a free workshop on Monday (4.30pm-6.30pm). West Sussex County Council’s carbon management team will host the workshop at County Hall North, Horsham, in support of National Climate Week (March 21-27). The Carbon Detectives is a programme which supports schools in reducing their carbon footprint by encouraging pupils aged eight to 12 to detect how they can help save
energy and money. Students and teachers will be able to see an interactive live demonstration of the online resource so schools can sign up and start making carbon savings immediately. The workshop will also show tools available to monitor progress in energy reduction.

News in Brief Foster carers wanted West Sussex County Council will hold an open day tomorrow (Saturday) as part of its drive to sign up more foster carers. Cllr Peter Evans, county council Cabinet member for children and families, said: “We still need to recruit dozens of new foster carers. “It’s a real challenge and one we have to meet for the sake of West Sussex children who need looking after. “To maintain the numbers of foster carers, we need to recruit around 50 new carers each year. But wouldn’t it be great to have more than that, to give us more choices when we are trying to match a child to a foster family that best suits their needs. “All kinds of people make good foster carers and you really can transform the life of a child who’s been through a difficult time.” The open day will be held at The Council House, Assembly Rooms, North Street, Chichester, from 10am to 4pm.
Farm competition The race is on to find the farmer who has put in the most work to help threatened countryside species. Bruce Fowkes, of the RSPB, said: “We’ve had strong regional winners from the south east in previous years and seen some impressive projects. “Farmers in West Sussex continue to do great work to help rare and threatened species, such as the Lapwing, Grey Partridge and Corn bunting, so I hope we see lots of entries this year. “Given the on-going national decline in biodiversity, it’s critical that we support the people who face the dual challenge of delivering our food while acting as guardians of our countryside habitats and wildlife. “The Nature of Farming Award recognises farmers’ efforts to balance those two objectives, and inspires others to try out wildlife-friendly farming.” See www.rspb.org.uk/natureoffarming for more details.
Bin collection times Refuse and recycling collections in the district will continue as normal over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, April 22-25. No collections will take place on Friday, April 29, because of the Royal Wedding. They will be on the following day instead.

Big changes suggested for town
Albion Way today and how it could be
Suggestions to transform parts of Horsham have been made by consultants in a new report. The Future Prosperity of Horsham Project aims to steer changes in the town, maximising its economic potential while maintaining and conserving its attractive and historic environment. Consultants Urban Practitioners were commissioned to produce a report which cost Horsham District Council almost £15,000 and West Sussex County Council £10,000. Cllr Robert Nye, leader of the district council, said: “Not all the ideas

will necessarily come to fruition and many of them will take some years to achieve. “Nevertheless, the report provides much food for thought as we work to ensure that Horsham town remains a successful and healthy destination. “There are some significant names (retailers) who would love to come to Horsham but can’t because the shops are just too small. “If you compare Horsham with its competitors – the likes of Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Reigate, Leatherhead and Dorking – it is head and shoulders above all of them. “Dorking and Reigate haven’t changed in donkeys’ years. But if we allow Horsham to stagnate it will deteriorate.” The report, which identifies existing strengths and areas for improvement, will form the basis of planning guidance for retail, commercial and leisure development. It looks at constraints and potential opportunities in the town, referring to the historic development of Horsham, the character of the town, its design, the commercial property market, transport and accessibility. And it sets out a vision for the town, with a strategy for how this could be achieved. Suggestions include: - Albion Way: A walkable Albion Boulevard, shops lining the street in places, narrower carriageways with dedicated bus and cycle lanes, wider pavements, a tree-lined area with safer and more attractive crossing points. - Piries Place: New shops, a new link from the Carfax through the old
King’s Head Hotel service area, a new pedestrian link between East Street and Copnall Way. - Swan Walk: Merger of some shops into larger shops for retailers who want to expand or move into the town, improved area outside Wilkinson’s, a new entrance to Swan Walk, new access to Swan Walk car park, new shops fronting onto Albion Way. - Hurst Road area: Redevelopment of underused railway land and better use of Nightingale Estate for employment, a new hotel on Hurst Road and improved links to the park.
we allow Horsham ‘toIfstagnate it will deteriorate ’
The district council will use the report to produce planning guidance documents, including the Horsham Town Plan which will go to public consultation this summer. A further document will be produced later in the year, addressing opportunities at the Broadbridge Heath Quadrant. Urban Practitioners have prepared strategies for market towns such as St Albans and Stratford-upon-Avon, and other reports on Brighton, Farnborough, Welwyn Garden City, Westminster and Woking. Their report will be discussed by the district council’s strategic planning advisory group on Tuesday, after which it will be available at www. horshamdistrictldf.info

Penalise 4x4 drivers
I am deeply disappointed that West Sussex County Council is thinking of taking some of the buses off the roads. My friend and I use the 108 to Horsham on a regular basis as we enjoy not only the journey but being able to go to Horsham to shop. If we didn’t have the bus then we wouldn’t be able to go. Many pensioners are in the same position as us and rely on these buses. The 106 to Worthing is another bus that we use. I do hope the county council will give this matter more thought as many people will be disappointed if these buses cease.
I very much doubt that George Osborne takes any notice of anyone other than Francis Maude MP in a constituency where they could weigh Tory votes rather than count them. But on the off chance that the Chancellor of the Exchequer is an avid reader of The Resident, I would like to appeal to him before the Budget next week. The government should do much more to prevent the damage to the environment and our road surfaces caused by four-wheel-drive vehicles and other gas-guzzling monsters. I was no fan of the last Labour government, but at least they introduced a sliding scale for car tax, so drivers of fuel-efficient cars pay less than those that contribute most to global warming and the creation of dangerous, expensive-to-repair potholes. The differential should increase substantially so that many drivers of big polluters pay well into four figures in their annual car tax. Perhaps some system could also be developed so that the highest-polluting cars are recognised by the pumps and their owners charged accordingly for fuel. It really does irritate me when I see unnecessarily large, high-polluting cars in urban areas such as Horsham town centre, often with no passengers, when smaller vehicles or public transport would suffice. Last winter, many cars took to the road with snow and ice flying dangerously off their roofs. It is surely no coincidence that most of those cars were 4x4s, whose drivers do appear disproportionately selfish.

The Census – your questions answered by The Office for National Statistics (ONS)
What is the Census? The Census provides a high-quality estimate of the population. It is a count of all people and households in England and Wales and is carried out by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Everyone is asked the same questions on the same day in order to take a snapshot of the population at one point in time. The statistics describe the population at national, regional and local levels.
Why do we have a Census? The information collected on the questionnaires is used to help government and local authorities plan the services and resources people need, such as transport, housing, healthcare and education. The amount of money West Sussex County Council and Horsham District Council has to spend on these important services is based on population statistics from the Census. That is why it is so important that everyone takes part. Who organises it? In England and Wales the Census is planned and carried out by the ONS. The Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) takes the Census in Northern Ireland and the General Register Office for Scotland (GROS) takes the Census in Scotland. All three take place on the same day to provide consistent population statistics for the whole of the UK.
How often does it take place? The first Census took place in 1801 after demographer Thomas Malthus told how population growth would soon outstrip supplies of food and other resources, leading Britain into famine, disease and other disasters. People quickly began to see the need for a Census, Parliament passed the Census Act in 1800 and the first official Census of England and Wales was taken on March 10 1801. Since then we have taken a Census every 10 years, except in 1941 during World War II. What will I have to do? You will need to complete the online version of your questionnaire or
household bills and expenses.
fill in the paper questionnaire and return it by post in the pre-paid envelope provided. You should complete and return your questionnaire before, on or as soon as possible after March 27. Just make sure your answers refer to that date.
Who should I include? Everyone living or staying in the household on Census day must be included on your household questionnaire, even babies. You should also include any visitors staying with you overnight on Census day.
How long will it take? You will be able to answer most of the questions simply by clicking or ticking a box. It should take around 10 minutes for each person (less for children), plus an extra few minutes to answer the questions about the household.
By when should I return my completed questionnaire? You will be able to complete your Census questionnaire before, on or just after Census day and submit or return it as soon as you have finished. Any delay could mean that our system will show you as a non-returning household, indicating the need for a visit from one of our Census representatives. What will happen if I’m not at home on March 27? You should complete your questionnaire as soon as possible after March 27 or do it before you go away if you’ve already received your questionnaire. If everyone in the household is away on Census day you should complete your questionnaire as soon as possible after your return. If the household is absent for more than six months after Census day, you do not need to complete the questionnaire. Anyone away from home for up to 12 months should still be included on your questionnaire. What happens if I don’t complete my questionnaire? You could face prosecution, a fine of up to £1,000 and a criminal record. Will I be able to do it online? Yes. The 2011 Census will be the first time that you can complete your Census questionnaire online. Your paper questionnaire will include an internet access code to enable you to do this securely. You may find online completion faster and more convenient. For example, the online questionnaire will automatically skip any questions that
don’t apply to you and give you hints and tips along the way. You won’t have to complete everything in one go. You’ll be able to just save the answers you’ve given so far and come back to it later. You will need your internet access code each time you log into your online questionnaire, so don’t dispose of your paper copy until you have finished and submitted your questionnaire online. How will you protect the information I provide online? The security of the 2011 Census website has been tested by independent experts. They have checked that the site complies with industry and government standards, protected from accidental or deliberate interference or misuse, and that we have effective measures in place to protect the confidentiality of personal data. You will not be able to complete your online questionnaire until you enter the unique internet access code from your paper questionnaire. This will act as a password (key) to make sure the right questionnaire is loaded. You will need to use your code every time you need to access your online questionnaire. What should I do with my paper questionnaire after I’ve submitted my online questionnaire? You will be able to safely dispose of your paper questionnaire once you’ve submitted it. You should destroy and/or remove
your name, address and internet access code on the front page, and then dispose of the rest of the questionnaire as you would any other personal document. What questions will I have to answer? We ask about work, health, national identity, citizenship, ethnic background, education, second homes, language, religion, marital status and so on. All these things are important in capturing a true snapshot of the population as it stands on Census day. You must answer all the questions, except the religion question which is voluntary.
What if I make a mistake? We will be providing many ways for you to get help if you have difficulty with any of the questions. The 2011 Census online questionnaire will make it easy to correct mistakes, and the paper questionnaire will explain how you should correct handwritten answers. If you have any problems, you can check online help or contact the Census helpline.
Will everyone in the household have to complete the questionnaire? It will be the householder’s or joint householder’s responsibility to complete the questionnaire. The householder is the person who owns or rents the accommodation and/or is responsible for paying
What if I’m in halls, a residential home, a hotel or some other communal establishment on Census day? If you have lived, or intend to live, for more than six months in a communal establishment, you will be given an individual questionnaire to complete by a manager or another member of staff. The 2011 Census is making special arrangements for universities and some types of communal establishments such as prisons and military camps. What if I or someone else in the household has a disability that will make it difficult to complete the questionnaire? Ask a family member, friend or carer to help. We will be providing plenty of help to enable as many people as possible to complete their questionnaire independently. These include a British Sign Language (BSL) video, audio, Braille guidance booklet guides and large print questionnaires. Would I be able to get someone from the Census to come round and help me complete my questionnaire? Yes. But before you do that, you should check the accessibility guides, online completion and online help options first. If none of these is suitable, you should call the helpline to arrange a convenient time to visit.
What if a relative who usually lives with me is in hospital on Census day? Could a nurse or carer do the questionnaire for them? If your relative has been in hospital for six months or more, they will be given an individual questionnaire to complete by someone in the hospital, such as a manager. If they are only temporarily in hospital (and will have been there for less than six months) you should include them on your household questionnaire. If needed, another member of the family, a friend, or member of hospital staff could complete the questionnaire on their behalf. How can I get help? Online help at www.Census.gov. uk, Census helpline (0300 0201101) and Text Relay (for people with hearing impairment).
What happens to my information? Your answers will be turned into statistics about the community and groups within it. Personal Census information is kept confidential for 100 years and is not shared with the government.

Language-loving Laura is 1 in 400 Ellen Kenworthy Millais School, Year 11
Talented Millais School student Laura Janicka showed off her linguistic skills by winning an X-Factor-style competition against more than 400 other youngsters. After coming through two regional heats, Laura saw off seven grammar school boys in the final of the HSBC/ British Council Mandarin Chinese competition at the British Museum,
London. The 16-year-old won a trip to Beijing next month, organised by the British Council. Contestants gave a short presentation in Mandarin, translated sentences from English into Mandarin and were tested on their knowledge of China. Since arriving in England from Poland just two-and-a-half years ago, Laura has learned to speak English, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese, and is now teaching herself Korean.
She said: “I am delighted to have won this challenging competition. I have a fascination for oriental languages and the opportunity to go to Beijing is a dream come true.” Yingxu Yin, Mandarin Chinese teacher at Millais School, said: “Laura is an exceptional student. She worked very hard to prepare for this competition and thoroughly deserved to win. “I am very proud of her and thrilled that she will be able to visit China.”

Sainsbury’s gets funny for money Supermarket employees shelve the baked beans to host a week of events and raise comic relief cash James Hood Business Editor
james@the-resident.co.uk
Sainsbury’s in Horsham kicked off its Comic Relief fundraising events at the beginning of the week with a sponsored bike ride. Mike Lewis, Gareth Stevens, Chris Watkins, Matt Smith, Dave Swain and Pete Stares cycled from the Horsham store to the Pulborough store and back again – a trip of around 34 miles. The group set off at 10am and came back by 2.30pm and raised approximately £1,000 for the charity. Other staff members at the Sainsbury’s store have been raising money all week by coming to work in fancy dress and hosting events. They held a ‘bring and buy’ cake sale, quiz night, and a managers v colleagues football match. There are even some employees growing facial hair as part of the supermarket’s ‘tash for cash’ fundraiser. There will be a fashion show at the store on Saturday, March 19 at 12.30pm which customers are invited to come along to. Colleagues will be sporting some of the latest styles from the company’s TU clothing range (with a twist). The store promises plenty of surprises and in true Red Nose Day style, giggles are guaranteed! Store manager, Ian Maxey, said:
“It’s so easy to make a contribution to this year’s campaign. All of our colleagues will be having a great time raising funds and we hope our customers will join in the fun as well.” Red Nose Day is officially held today (Friday) and encourages the country to do something funny for money and raise funds for Comic Relief. School, businesses, families and individuals everywhere take part in some outrageous and entertaining fundraising all day long. It is rounded off with a night of TV on the BBC with some of the biggest names in comedy and entertainment taking part. Funds
raised go to transforming the lives of poor, vulnerable or disadvantaged people living in the UK and Africa. Justin King, CEO of Sainsbury’s commented: The Red Nose Day campaign has become part of Sainsbury’s way of life, and we are incredibly proud that our colleagues and customers have been able to raise £48 million for Comic Relief over the years”. Staff from the Horsham store will also be shaking their Red Nose Day collection buckets at Horsham train station all day (Friday), so dig deep and give what you can if you see them.

Duo joins the fight against breast cancer A local team of salon stylists has been showing their support, and their bras, to help raise awareness of breast cancer and save lives Duo Hair and Beauty in Horsham, has been doing its bit for charity by ‘going pink’, raising awareness and money for breast cancer and breast screening. The salon, on New Street created a colourful window display of bras on a washing line as well as hosting a fundraising evening. Many of Duo’s clients and members of the local community attended the event and the team got some great support from their suppliers, which enabled them to have a raffle on the night. In total they raised £435.00 for Cancer Research UK. Sharon Baldwin, Cancer Research UK’s Area Volunteer Manager for Horsham, said: “We need everyone in Horsham to ‘Join the fight for women’s survival’. Our research is beating breast cancer. We need you to help us fight harder. “Cancer Research UK’s work underpins today’s treatments for women with breast cancer. Our doctors, nurses and scientists play a crucial role in finding news ways to diagnose,

treat and prevent the disease.” Cancer Research UK is the largest single funder of breast cancer research in the UK, spending over £44 million on groundbreaking work last year. As breast cancer is still the most
common cancer in the UK, the charity’s work is vital. For more information about the ‘Join the Fight’ campaign or to request a free Cancer Research UK fundraising pack, visit www.jointhefight.org. uk or call 08701 60 20 40.
Horsham market is on the move Horsham Markets, the organisation which manages and co-ordinates the town’s three, weekly markets, is positioning all of the ‘general market’ North and South of the Shelley Fountain in the Bishopric area of town. It was formerly held in West Street. The move follows the redevelopment of the area, which is near to the bus station and the newly built Travelodge hotel. From this Saturday the general traders will be now be setting up stalls in the Bishopric and Worthing Road, where shoppers will find the usual stall holders including butchers, bakers, fashions, jewellery, haberdashery, foods and flowers. The local produce, arts and crafts market will remain in the Carfax. The organisation hopes that by concentrating the general market in the Bishopric it will be a great addition for the area and boost business for the shops, cafes and pubs located nearby. Zac Coden has been selling fruit
and veg at Horsham Market with his father Bob for nearly 20 years. He said: “We have been looking forward to the market properly moving into the area. Customers will find it much easier with the stalls being all together.” The move follows much consultation with the stall holders, local businesses, the Markets Working Group and Horsham Unlimited. Horsham was awarded a market charter in the 13th Century and markets have been popular in the town ever since.

Compassion and convenience from local veterinary practice A new, independent veterinary clinic is opening in Slinfold on 21 March. Maltman Cosham combines years of knowledge and experience, with the compassion you value when choosing who will care for your pets.

profession and both have lived in the area their whole lives. Mark Maltman achieved his degree in Veterinary Science at the University of Bristol in 1997. He has been in practice for 13 years and gained the RCVS Certificates in Small Animal Medicine and Veterinary Cardiology in 2001 and 2004 respectively.

Mark has also been treasurer of the BSAVA affiliated Small Animal Medicine Society since 2008 and contributes regularly to UK Vet, Veterinary Nursing Times and Veterinary Nursing Journal; all highly regarded publications in the veterinary profession.

Train Station celebrates Local Produce Day Horsham Train Station is taking part in Local Produce Day tomorrow (Saturday, March 19). The national event is organised by Community Rail Partnerships and stations around the country will be taking part. Different activities are planned both at stations and on trains, which will celebrate the diversity and quality of local products and suppliers.

Carvery cuts the mustard The carvery at The Silver Wok, which was launched last month is proving a big success. The restaurant, on Horsham’s Brighton Road, introduced the roasts to their menu on a Sunday to something new to the town, and customers have been flocking there, with the restaurant busy every weekend. The carvery offers some of the best produce available in the area including rib of beef, free-range turkey and traditional breed pork. It is all locally sourced each week from nearby
farms. Davey Pearon, a Horsham Resident said: “It’s great. Good food and really good value. Just what you need on a Sunday with friends and family. I had seconds. And thirds”. The Silver Wok also has a private function room including a bar available for hire, where they can served a range of Thai foods, a hot or cold finger buffet and a carvery. To book call The Silver Wok on 01403 268833 or visit thesilverwok.com for more information.
the farm’s original Flaxjacks, its tasty, healthy and very popular signature cake. Staff members from the farm will be on the footbridge for the whole day. Claire Skelton from Flax Farm said: “We’re delighted to be involved with this first Local Produce Day, and we are proud to wave the flag for Horsham. It’s a great chance for us to showcase our range of tasty, healthy flaxbased products to local people who may not know us yet, and it’s always good to win over new flax converts!” Southern Railway has welcomed the opportunity to back this event.
Southern’s Area Manager, Andy Leister said: “Both myself and the staff at the station think this is a great idea and if it helps brings local communities closer to their station, then from our point of view it will be a big success. We are always keen to support local issues and events in the communities that we serve.” The Sussex CRP works to connect the community with the railway. It draws together local authorities, railway companies, Network Rail, Passenger Focus and local communities with the aim of providing better services for local people, tourists.

Success for Microbiz Small businesses, entrepreneurs and exhibitors came together for the ‘best ever’ Microbiz last weekend James Hood Business Editor
james@the-resident.co.uk
Almost 600 people attended what was described as the “best ever” Microbiz last Saturday, March 12. The exhibition gave those who run small businesses or who are thinking of setting one up, the chance to meet other organisations which might be able to provide products and services to help them. Exhibitors included The Resident, Spofforths, The Insure Group and Verve Properties as well as many more, all of which had representatives on-hand to offer advice and guidance. Held at the Drill Hall on Denne Road, Microbiz also offered free masterclasses on topics that people with a small business might find useful, including marketing, tax and finance, all of which were delivered by experienced professionals. Following the event, Cllr Roger Paterson, Cabinet Member for Local Economy and Leisure at Horsham District Council, said: “This year’s
Microbiz was very impressive and extremely upbeat; both exhibitors and visitors reported high levels of interest and a lot of business was done. “This is Horsham’s star community and business event combined.” Microbiz is an annual event organised by Horsham District Council. John Peel, OBE, a long time champion of MicroBiz, officially opened the event and then went on to judge the best exhibitor stand competition, with prizes going to Darren Neasham of Overtly Creative and Toby Phillips of Toby Phillips Photography. The exhibition relies heavily on its sponsors, to enable the event to be free for visitors. This year those included: The Resident, NatWest Bank, Spofforths, Federation of Small Businesses, West Sussex County Council, Chichester College and Coole + Haddock Solicitors. To register for future Microbiz events email business.development@ horsham.gov.uk or call Horsham District Council on 01403 215264. Details of any future Microbiz events will also be featured in The Resident.

There’s still time to give broadband views A survey for businesses to give their views on broadband in West Sussex closes at the end of March. Nearly 600 businesses have responded so far, letting West Sussex County Council know how broadband helps, or hinders, their work. The County Council has been lobbying BT and internet service providers to help get faster broadband in West Sussex and tackle ‘not spots’ where people are unable to get broadband at all. Cabinet Member for Environment
and Economy, Deborah Urquhart, said: “We’re keen to hear from as many businesses as possible to help us understand which areas are affected by poor internet connection. “Many businesses rely on the internet, and we want to do all we can to help encourage internet service providers to make the system in West Sussex as fast and efficient as possible, so supporting our economy.” All survey responses will be used by the County Council as evidence when lobbying for improvements
and towards bids for funding that could help bring improved quality broadband to the county. There are a number of ways to fill in the survey: For those who have access to the internet, it is available at www.westsussex.gov.uk/broadband Printed copies of the questionnaire are available from West Sussex Libraries or by calling 01243 642119. The deadline for responses is Monday March 28.
Profit from the green pound The Queens Head The Carbon Trust urges businesses to invest in the environment The Carbon Trust has launched its new Green Growth Campaign in the South East, encouraging businesses to see the potential in being environmentally friendly. The organisation is a not-for-profit charity that aims to encourage the move to a low carbon economy, and is urging companies in the South East to develop greener products and services, to increase profits. According to the charity’s research, only a small number of businesses in the region are investing in
the development of greener process and goods. It believes this will mean many miss out of the revenue-generating potential of the green economy. The UK market for green products and services is worth over £1 billion a year. Horsham based business, Foundry Press, has been an early adopter of green printing processes and recycling methods. Managing Director, Bruce Phillips said: “I think we all have a responsibility to do whatever we can to reduce our impact on the
environment. We recycle all of our paper, computers and printing plates and use vegetable-based ink instead of oil-based, which will also help reduce our carbon footprint. From a business perspective, it helps us stand out from the crowd, as customers are becoming more aware of their own impact on the planet. It can give businesses a real competitive advantage.” For more information visit www. carbontrust.co.uk or www.foundrypress.co.uk

The Forest School held its third annual Band Night, a highly anticipated event which provided a night to remember with six bands in the line-up. The evening began with the everpopular Jack and James followed by T.A.S.M.D.O.F.S.A.B.R, who certainly got the crowd warmed up. Forefront were up next playing a good set, followed by Hiroshima House Party who were extremely popular. Afterthought were a big hit with a charismatic stage presence and the fantastic Retrospect, who won their section of Battle of the Bands last year, closed the show. With a big crowd and a brilliant atmosphere, the bands played to their highest level. It was clear that the night was a huge success and an excellent
showcase for the fantastic musical talent of Forest pupils. Thanks to Red River Software and OFFLOAD Business Resources who sponsored the event, to the Forest Band Night Committee for all their hard work, to sound engineer Tom Viney and to the school staff who supervised and supported the evening.

A step forward for The Collector on new EP Lisa Cozens
Review
The Collector - Hinterland EP
The latest offering from Horsham acoustic/alternative band The Collector, Hinterland EP, features 3 new tracks from songwriter/musician Simon King, with guest vocals from Leah Miller (Eight Dirty Pages) and Matt Andrews (Everafta, Madeira Drive). The songs have all the usual Collector hallmarks: Ebow, soaring guitar melodies, heart achingly beautiful lyrics, a Jack Nicholson sample at the beginning of the third track ‘This Is How I Feel’; yet these tracks as a whole combine to make The Collector’s most subtle, understated offering yet. These are pared down songs, that don’t have the kitchen
sink thrown at them; that allow the beauty of the melody, and the voices of Matt and Leah to shine their light through the darkness of the emotion, (Collector songs, in the very best tradition, always seem to be about loss, sadness, struggle, change.) The first track, ‘The Collector’, based on the John Fowles book, has genuinely chilling lyrics, and works particularly well being sung by a female vocalist with such a sweet, pure voice to counteract the menace. Double bass is ably added by Gary Holder and keyboards are provided by Graham Noon. ‘Why’ is the simplest song of the set, sung solo by Matt, beautifully. In fact it’s impressive to hear both vocalists transfer their skills so well to subtle acoustic songs, when I’m more used to hearing them sing rocked out numbers, they are undoubtedly both
very talented. This works particularly well on the final song, ‘This Is How I Feel’ when the two vocalists duet perfectly. This EP represents a step forward
in The Collector’s stature and confidence, a collection of songs for acoustic music lovers, for the curious, for the thoughtful, for those that have lived and survived to tell the tale.

Horsham Symphony Orchestra On Saturday, March 19, The Horsham Symphony Orchestra performs a programme of European music from the 19th and 20th centuries. Conducted by Steve Dummer and leader, Rachel Ellis, the concert will begin with the charming overture from the opera ‘Hansel and Gretel’, by the German composer, Englebert Humperdinck (1851–1921). There will also be a performance of the Viola Concerto by the great English composer, William Walton (1902-1983), for which Alexandra Urquhart will join the orchestra. Alexandra began playing the viola aged 15 and won prizes at Trinity College of Music, before continuing her studies at the Royal College of Music. She has performed chamber music extensively and has also played with some of the UK’s leading orchestras, including the Philharmonic and BBC National Orchestra of Wales. After the interval, the orchestra will play Symphony No.1 in E minor by the Finnish composer, Jean Sibelius (1865–1957). Sibelius’s music has an outdoor feel that is quite unique. This early work, however, shows the
influence of earlier Russian composers and particularly, Tchaikovsky. It is sure to create a rousing end to the concert. Take your seats at 7.30pm. Tickets: £12, £10 for senior citizens and £5 for under 18s. Tickets can be purchased in advance from The Capitol Box Office on 01403 750220 or online at www.thecapitolhorsham.com. Tickets are also available from the Horsham Symphony Orchestra ticket secretary on 01403 891356.

Chas & Dave are together again The duo is stopping in Horsham for the very last time Chas & Dave, the English pop and rock duo are coming out of retirement to reform for one final tour, and they will be performing at The Capitol on April 1. The show will include the whole history of Chas & Dave, beginning with the group’s pub set from the 70s, when they first became popular. The second act will include the wellknown songs that have made them such a success story. Chas & Dave began writing and performing songs together in 1972, having been friends since the early sixties. Chas Hodges had played bass guitar
with The Outlaws, Cliff Bennett and The Rebel Rousers and Heads, Hands and Feet. Meanwhile, Dave Peacock was a guitarist with rock and roll revival and country bands. Together, influenced by American rock and roll and country music, they decided to produce their own music, including songs about ‘talkative women’ and ‘pieces of furniture’. The group’s first song release was ‘one fing and anuvver’ followed by ‘strummin’’ in 1977. Two years later they reached the top 20 with ‘Gertcha’ - which became a nationwide catchphrase. They went on to achieve massive
success and have had their songs covered by artists such as Tom Jones. The duo has also written songs for Death Do Us Part, Crackerjack and Only Fools & Horses. Chas & Dave are great musicians and know how to give an audience a good time. They have gained a cult audience of both young and old and now, due to public demand, they are together again, for one last time. See them on Friday, April 1 at 7.30pm. Tickets: £22.50, concessions: £20. To book call the Box Office on 01403 750220 or visit www.thecapitolhorsham.com
The Wizard of Oz
We are all familiar with the classic tale of the girl from Kansas who finds herself in a strange land, where she meets a Scarecrow, Tinman, Lion and not forgetting the almighty Wizard! The Wizard of Oz has been a classic story told in so many different ways, and this April, The Capitol will be glistening green as the curtain goes up for Hit & Run’s production of this all time family favourite. The journey started back in September 2010, when a creative team was brought together to plan the nine-month journey of this musical. In November the team held many auditions for the lead roles, and then on to cast an ensemble of adults, and finally the most difficult casting of all, the Munchkins. One cold Sunday morning, more than100 children nervously waited to come and sing and dance to see if they would be successful – this was
their opportunity to show us what they could offer – and boy did they shine! The cast of Munchkins is made up of 40 of the finest young performers, from all over Sussex and Surrey, and is joined by a 20-strong adult cast. Playing the lead roles are Brighton’s Sally Capewell as Dorothy, Will Hackett from Worthing, as the Scarecrow, Michael Gattrell from Horsham as the Tinman and Terry Foster from Reigate as the Cowardly Lion. Rebecca Warnett & Karen O Connor play the roles of the Witches and Jack Lane takes the title role as the Wizard himself. James Etheridge (Director) leads the creative team made up by Mark Heppell (Musical Director) and Michaela Nicholls (Choreographer). Together, they have bought the classic story to life – from the baron lands of Kansas to the magnificent yet somewhat odd place, which is
the Emerald City. You’re sure to see something quite unique and original yet in keeping with the traditional, classic story. The show features all the well-known songs such as ‘Over the Rainbow’, We’re off to see the Wizard’ and ‘Follow the Yellow Brick Road’. Plans are forging ahead with only eight weeks to go before opening night. Meetings are being held to discuss set, lighting, sound and costumes and only recently we have engaged the canine services of Buster the West Highland Terrier who will be playing Toto, Dorothy’s faithful companion. The show runs from Thursday, April 28 through to Sunday, May 1. Tickets can be bought online at www.thecapitolhorsham.com or by calling the Box Office on 01403 750220. Get your tickets now and join us, over the rainbow!

Scents and sensibility Julia Martin Health & Lifestyle
julia.martin@the-resident.co.uk
We are approaching that smelly time of year when our olfactory senses are kick started and hot wired to fire connections with potential mates. Nature has got a head start on us if the sound of the pigeons in my rafters is anything to go by - I am awoken every morning by the sound of aviarian copulation. Hmm, anyway, that is not the only reason we are celebrating the powers of whiffs and odours this week. As Spring approaches with the prospect of flowers and trees in blossom, we realise how much those early smells of the season invoke pleasure and memories. You would be hard pressed to find a better mood lifter than the smell of the first mown grass or the scent of cherry blossom after a winter devoid of natural perfumes. Smells have more of an impact on our subconscious than we realise which is why a sniff of antiseptic can take us back instantly to a hospital corridor or the odour of furniture wax plunges us back to early school
days. An old lover can be instantly recalled by the fleeting hint of an aftershave lotion and dear relations and friends carry their own signature smells. I have only to sniff ‘Rive Gauche’ and I am catapulted back to carefree student days. Why is it that certain houses have certain smells? Oh dear, I must not get drawn into my cleaning frenzy again! The manufacturers of cleaning products entice us with jasmine, lavender and lemon. Even washing powders boast luxurious, opulent smells of black orchid and vanilla and the scented candle industry is booming. Why? Subconsciously we can connect with these smells in order to create the ambience we desire; this is why house sellers are urged to have a pot of coffee brewing or home made bread baking when showing people around their homes, as all these smells invoke memories of home. Supermarkets have known about this for a while and smells are used to draw us in to particular areas. The more we know about the power of scent, the more we can use it to our advantage. The perfume houses create wonderful blends which can

create illusions which stir up emotions and the names hint at the desired outcome ‘J’adore’, ’Beautiful’ and ‘Pleasures’ say it all but I am not sure about ‘Unforgiveable Woman’! A word of warning to all you men who are trying to impress ladies this Spring - no amount of aftershave cologne can mask the smell of clothes which have been left out too long to dry indoors. This smell is probably one of the most off-putting - the whiff of mildew is so unattractive and conjures up an image of desperation. So all you newly single men out there, make sure
Lift weight lose weight The most beneficial, life-changing exercise is weight lifting. Lifting weights is not all about gaining muscle mass. It’s so much easier to lose weight through lifting weights than it is doing hours and hours of aerobic exercise. As you lift weights, you develop lean muscle, this is the kind of muscle that burns calories to maintain itself, and continues to burn those calories long after your workout is over. Adding weights into your routine not only saves you the time of repetitive, boring, endless, cardio workouts, but it works many times faster than your cardio workout. Get your weights and you’ll be burning those calories and building that lean muscle, 24/7.

you invest in an efficient tumble drier before heading out to buy aftershave, and also remember the other major turn off for women is too much cologne! Subtley is key and, by the way, ‘Hi Karate’ no longer packs a punch! Ladies - we can also be guilty of the crime of putting on too much strong perfume, and the secret is layering, whereby you use the body lotion and a small amount of perfume together to produce a delicate and lingering scent. This is also kinder on the purse as body lotions are much cheaper and help your perfume last longer. Generally lighter floral tones
are more suited to day wear and the heavy muskier tones will help reel them in on a night out. Pheromones are the buzz word as this is what we secrete naturally, in order to attract a mate, so any extra help is welcomed by both sexes. Experiments with unidentified smelly t-shirts have shown that women are attracted to different pheromones - it is like a genetic code in a smell which acts a magnet to attract a mate. So if you want to be cooing like a dove this spring, make sure you sniff them out first !

A spring clean...for the make-up bag We are thrilled to introduce Amy Jones, who will be writing a column for our younger readers about beauty and fashion Amy Jones Health & Lifestyle
I have to admit, apart from making a half-hearted attempt at giving the insides of the kitchen cupboards a good clean last week, I can’t say that I’ve really made a great contribution to the Spring Cleaning effort this year (a perk of still living in the family home you could say). I did, however, spend an afternoon sorting out my make-up bag; washing
smudges of blusher off the lining, throwing out old products that have been sitting in the bottom for far too long and just generally making room for a few new additions that will see me through the summer. It’s so important not to hang on to old make-up, as ancient compacts and their respective sponges or applicators can be a hot bed of nasty bacteria which can lead to eye infections or spots. It may have been necessary, but I won’t pretend the cleansing ritual was easy. I, for one, am always rather
reluctant to throw away certain old products that I may have paid a bit too much for and hardly used. Nevertheless, I knew it was certainly time I got rid of a few items (particularly the grotty lipstick lurking in the depths of my bag that I’ve had for about six years). I also gave all my make-up brushes a thorough clean. I am dreadful at remembering to do this on a regular basis. In fact, I have brushes that I can honestly say I have never attempted to clean in all the time I’ve owned them! Shocking, I know, but I’m sure

I’m not alone. Professional make-up artists, such as Lisa Eldridge, (you may have seen her on television programmes such as Ten Years Younger) recommend that you should wash your make-up brushes once a week. Lisa suggests pouring a bit of shampoo into the palm of your hand and rubbing the brush gently in circular movements into the shampoo until it lathers, then rinsing it in warm water and leaving it to dry over night. To prevent your brushes from becoming stiff when they dry, you may also repeat the same procedure with conditioner. You can clean just about any brush that you have this way: foundation brushes and/or sponges, blusher, bronzer and loose powder brushes as well as eyeshadow
applicators. Lisa also advises not to keep your mascara for longer than three months as, not only can it dry out or become clumpy, but it can also breed a frightening amount of germs (just what your bank balance needs to hear). Since the little overhaul I gave my make-up bag last week, I am convinced that cleaning my brushes has made my skin look a bit clearer, so it’s certainly a little bit of effort I don’t mind making for a healthier complexion! It really didn’t take very long to give everything a good wash, so I think I might write a reminder in my diary to do it every Sunday night, that way I can start the week on a fresher note!

Hypnotherapy with children Children’s minds are very open to hypnotherapy as they have no preformed ideas and are excellent at using their imaginations. Young children spend most of their day in their imaginations so are experts in the use of visualisation and pretending skills. This makes hypnotherapy with children a lot quicker than with adults. Hypnotherapy with children is solution focused, completely safe and non-evasive with no unwanted side effects. It’s a repetitive soothing therapy to help with issues such as confidence, self esteem, exam and test nerves, sleep difficulties, pain control and thumb sucking to name a few. Hypnotherapy is especially effective in removing the itch from eczema and helping with dental phobias. Each child is treated as an
individual and I write a personalised, age related script for them using their own language and ideas as this results in the hypnotherapy being easily accepted by their subconscious and therefore it is more effective. With parental consent under 18’s can attend the therapy unaccompanied. I am CRB checked and hold a ‘Safe Guarding Children Certificate’. I have worked in a local primary school and have 9 years experience of working with children who have Special Educational Needs, including Autism. Home visits can be arranged where appropriate. I am Horsham based and have a clinic in the town with free parking. I am a member of the Hypnotherapy Society and therefore bound by a strict code of ethics and all treatment is confidential.

Feng shui your garden With the approach of spring, we need to think about the living space outside our homes. Our choice of plants and flowers can enhance our good fortune if they are placed in the right area. Janine Lowe, our feng shui expert, gives us valuable advice on how to ensure the energy flows in our gardens or balconies by suggesting the optimum colours and plants for different areas of the outside space. South West - This is a crucial area for relationships so attention should be given to making sure there are pairs of plants or trees. Pairs of outdoor ornaments such as butterflies and
swans are a good idea in this area. Pink and red flowers are ideal so plant your azaleas, geraniums and pink blossoms here. South East- This is an area of good fortune so blue, violet and green foliage works well. Hyacinths, crocuses and bluebells will flourish and attract good luck. North East - Strong red flowers work best here so it could be your rose garden or a spot for those strong red azaleas. North West - White flowers and shrubs work well here so plant Michaelmas daisies and white lobelia in order to attract helpful people into

The problem will be discussed with sensitivity and humour and will touch on areas we can all recognise.

Email Emma - emma@the-resident.co.uk Dear Emma, I have been married for 11 years to my first love. We have a great friendship, 3 fabulous kids, a lovely house and from the outside a great marriage. The truth is though, that it feels like we have become just housemates. My husband never pays me any compliments, he never suggests that we go out and do anything for just the two of us anymore. Basically he doesn’t make me feel desired as a woman.

Dear D, I think there must be thousands of ‘happily married’ women who are reading your question and shouting at the paper “that’s me!” There are many things in this life that women definitely do better than men, but when it comes to sticking their heads in the sand, men have us beaten hands down! Sadly, many men think that once they have settled down with the love of their life, she is ‘invoiced and delivered’ – what he has failed to see is that the relationship is eternally, a work in progress. I once heard a wonderful joke about a few ladies trying to spice up their relationships in different ways. Only one was married. For the few who were in more ‘casual’ relationships, the role play that they acted out worked wonders. Not the case for the poor old wife, who spent the the day buying exotic lingerie, stockings and a mysterious mask and arranged herself seductively on the sofa, only to be greeted on her husband’s arrival home from work, with the immortal words: “Alright Batman, what’s for tea?!” OUCH!! There is obviously a communication breakdown between the two of you. I would suggest you sit down together and have a serious talk with him and let him know that the way things are between you at the moment is not making you happy or fulfilling you in anyway. If that is not an option, then my advice is to get a close friend or a third party involved who can act as a mediator to talk to both of you and create some kind of dialogu between you both. The key is that you both open your hearts, minds but most importantly your ears, to listen to what the other person needs from this talk. Sometimes we think that dropping hints is enough, but no, these men need spoon feeding! So make your wishes clear and direct. Emma

The eyes say it all Following on from our article on public speaking, Dramaworks is pleased to give further advice on how to make your presentations more effective. Many people make the basic mistake of not looking at the audience as they are talking. This is a fundamental error and can make all the difference between making a connection with them or boring them rigid. If you do not look at people and make eye contact in a’ one to one’ situation, you can appear rude and offhand ( some might say shifty!) and the same is true of speaking to a group of people. Many of us are frightened of looking at the guests we have invited to hear us speak but actually by making initial eye contact, you will realise that they are human and friendly. It puts people at ease and makes them feel you are speaking directly to them - try to scan the room and focus on a few people at a time but change your focus so you make everyone feel included. As Shakespeare famously stated the eyes are the “window to the soul” so if you really want to make a difference with your speech -USE them! Dramaworks will be running some of their popular intensive one day and two day courses over the Easter holidays which give non Dramaworks students the opportunity to gain the skills of acting and presentation from professional teachers and earn themselves a qualification which is worth up to 65 UCAS points. This is an ideal chance for students to up their points in time for University entry or simply to start a programme of valuable qualifications which will teach them how to be successful at public speaking, acting, interviews and presentations. All courses are overseen by Julia Martin, ex head of Drama at Farlington
and Millais School, and the intensive programme is great fun and very rewarding. Students will be entered for assessment at the end of May and they will learn dramatic techniques, speed learning, character creation, relaxation and method acting techniques. They will be guided in a choice of
pieces with information given on the relevant knowledge and will leave the course with a teaching pack. This highly effective course wil prove popular so early booking is recommended. Further details can be found on the website www.drama-works.net or by calling Julia on 07786398869.

Q A
Why should I use an estate agent rather than sell it myself through an online agent?
The goal for any estate agent, whether virtual or in real-life, is to sell your home for the best price within the timescale to suit you.
Sound’s simple, doesn’t it? Which is probably why online selling agents can seem a good option - they’re cheap and there’s no contract. But one online agent suggests you use the fee savings to lower your asking price, which means you won’t be saving anything at all.
Online is just one option Property websites are undoubtedly a good source of buyers accounting for up to 80% of sales, which still leaves at least 20% coming from elsewhere. Estate agents will advertise your property in papers like this, liaise with relocation firms, arrange ‘for sale’ boards and EPCs. The role of an estate agent is far more than uploading your details online, although they’ll do that too! Pro-active marketing Address value properties accurately to get the best price - but without overpricing or letting your property stagnate on the market. We recommend marketing adjustments if necessary and advise you on feedback from viewers so you’re never alone.
The personal approach Most people like to deal with real people. Address have built up a reputation over many years by doing a good job for our customers, which is incredibly important to us. Visitors are always welcome to call in to our office for a chat. We arrange and accompany viewings, negotiate sales and handle the necessary paperwork (including money laundering documentation) before handing conveyancing to solicitors. Negotiations Negotiating a sale directly can be awkward and it’s much easier for everyone if a third party manages negotiations and makes sure the sale goes through to exchange and completion especially if things get complicated. And finally cost. There’s no need to spend a fortune using an estate agent. At Address we charge on average half that of other estate agents to sell your home.
We’ve taken the best of traditional estate agency and new online agents to create a new type of estate agent, tailor made for sellers who want good value and personal service. If you would like to contact Address Estate Agents to see how we can help with your property sale or rental, or to pose a question for this column in the future, then please call us on 01403 734200, email us at info@addressestateagents.co.uk or visit our website www.addressestateagents.co.uk

Q A
Can you tell me what the requirements are for insurance on a Rental Property?
There is no legal requirement for a Landlord to take out building and contents insurance however there are very good reasons why they should. Tenancy Agreements are usually drafted so Tenants are not liable for insured risks. If there was an incident the majority of the cost would be covered by the insurance providing the insurance company was satisfied that the incident was accidental and covered by the claim. If a Tenants act voided the insurance they would be liable for the full amount of repair. If there was a successful insurance claim due to an act or omission by the Tenant then he would be liable for the Landlord’s excess and any increase in future premiums. Public Liability Cover covers the Landlord for claims against them for anyone coming into contact with the property. This could be Tenants, contractors, officials, Tenant guests, even trespassers. Building Insurance provides public liability cover for any incident relating to the building or structure; contents provides for any incident relating to the contents of the property.
Many Landlords unwittingly insure their tenanted properties under a standard Household Policy which may well exclude claims resulting from the Tenant’s activities or worse provide no cover at all in the event of a claim. It is therefore important that Landlords take out an adequate insurance policy for their rental property. Specialist insurances companies offer comprehensive cover that includes; • Malicious damage by tenants • Loss of rent cover • Landlord liability cover to third parties • Vacant property cover • Contingency cover for invalidation of the policy by the tenant Tenants do not always realise that the Landlords insurance does not cover their possessions. Specialist Tenant policies will include; Accidental damage cover Protection of deposit Cost of alternative accommodation Liability under the Tenancy Agreement for damage to the Landlord’s property

Q A
Is it best to have a capital repayment mortgage or an interest only mortgage?
This is a question advisors are commonly asked and there is no definite answer. A lot would depend on the individual lenders criteria, the borrower’s attitude to risk and whether or not the borrower has any existing investment/savings plans.
With a Repayment (capital and interest) mortgage you repay both the interest and a small percentage of the borrowed capital each month. That means that your mortgage will be paid off in full (if you continue to meet your payments) at the end of the mortgage term. There is no risk that your mortgage will not be re-paid as long as you make the correct monthly repayments. With interest only mortgages, your monthly payments only cover the interest on the amount you owe (so you’re not reducing the outstanding sum each month). The idea is to put the money that you would have spent repaying your mortgage, into a repayment vehicle ie pension or individual savings account (ISA). It would be the borrowers responsibility to make sure the chosen repayment vehicle is on track to repay the mortgage debt at the end of the term. There is a lot more flexibility with this method of repaying your mortgage, but there is a higher risk that there mortgage may not be repaid by the end of the term. It will depend on your chosen repayment vehicle, how closely the borrower reviews the performance, the borrowers attitude to risk and how much they are willing to invest.
To find out which method is best for you, please contact Mercier Allen and Associates for independence advice on 01403 268562. Please note that this article does not constitute as advice, anyone seeking independent advice should contact an independent financial adviser.

Lettings fees becoming Rental demand in Horsham never higher more competitive It has been well publicised recently that the lettings market in the Horsham area is very competitive, with the majority of agents reporting demand out-stripping supply. Tough mortgage approval criteria combined with the slowdown in the residential property market is currently fuelling the under-supply of quality property to let putting pressure on both tenants and agents alike Whilst tenants have been forced to suffer the burden of higher rental prices in recent months, it is the opposite for the agents who are competing for new landlords business in order to satisfy the current demand. This is great news if you are a landlord because many agents are now recognising that they need to be more competitive with their fees to win your business! Elaine Gray, lettings partner at Munslow Bailey Gray, commented “We are well aware that in a highly competitive market place, like Horsham at present, we as agents need to be more competitive to attract new business. “Often in the past, larger companies have charged higher and higher fees just because they hold larger market shares. Personally I do not
believe that the residents of Horsham will continue to put up with this.” Elaine added “We pride ourselves in having a transparent fee structure that offers our clients real value. That is not because we are offering any less services but simply because we are a small independent company, with low overheads that allow us to charge our clients less for the same service!” Choosing an independent company does not mean that you compromise on service. On the contrary a smaller company with fewer clients often has more time to spend looking after your best interests. Elaine says “We set up our business determined to offer the highest levels of service combined with a transparent fee structure offering better value to our clients.” She added “With the three partners having a combined industry experience of almost 60 years you can also rest assured that we are not lacking in experience either!” In short, the best service from experienced property professionals does not have to come at a high price. For more information Elaine can be contacted on 01403 267530 or email elaine@mbgproperties.com
Rental demand has never been higher in Horsham. Local lettings specialists Leaders are reporting unprecedented levels of applicants contacting their Horsham branch in the hope of securing a wide range of good quality rental property. The fact of the matter is that Horsham has always had a strong rental market and will continue to do so. It is popular with a wide range of applicants from commuters making the most of the excellent rain links to the capital, through to families moving into the area as a result of our good schools and the fact that Horsham and the surrounding area is just a great place to bring up their children. Leaders enjoy a very broad applicant base covering all aspects of the rental market. Says Leaders senior manager Kathy Taylor, “We are particularly interested in hearing from landlords with two and three bedroom houses. Demand has rocketed throughout the last six months and in many cases properties are being secured on the first viewing by eager applicants. The demand for good quality properties shows no sign of wavering and the summer is looking like a very exciting prospect indeed for landlords looking to invest for the first time. “Landlords are also enjoying the highest level of rental income for some time as a result of the sheer
levels of demand compared to supply. New landlords will be pleasantly surprised at the yield that can be achieved on their property in the current market and at Leaders we are happy to work closely with new investors. As a result of our specialist in-depth knowledge of the local market, highly trained staff and extensive experience, we can advise landlords on exactly what rent they should be achieving on their investment, possible refurbishment to maximise rental values and which areas they should concentrate their search within to attract their preferred type of tenant. “Existing landlords are already aware that the current market dictates an increased rental value on their properties. Some are making the most of the current situation by carrying out refurbishment works between tenancies to really make their property stand out from the crowd. You would be surprised at the difference a new, modern bathroom suite or fitted kitchen can make to the
26 - 27 West Street Horsham West Sussex
rental value of a property.” Kathy goes on to say “Once a landlord has made the decision on their property to let, it is important that they have complete trust in their chosen agent and that they have the confidence in that agent to secure the highest quality applicant possible. Our referencing criteria are as stringent as ever. We endeavour to be as thorough as possible when qualifying our potential tenants from full credit checks to current landlord and employment checks. It is of the utmost importance to us that our landlords’ experience with Leaders is a happy one and the fact that our landlords come back to us time and time again is testament to that. A significant proportion of our business comes through personal recommendation”. Leaders are experiencing record breaking levels of business which is maintained without compromising on our very high standards. With 28 years of specialist letting experience our knowledge of the market is second to none. Leaders are perfectly equipped to offer a friendly and highly skilled level of service and to help established and first time landlords to get the best from their investment. If you have a property to let, you’re thinking of Buying-to-Let or perhaps you are planning to expand your property portfolio, please ring 01403 217585. Keep it local, keep it Leaders.

Motors Morgan 3 Wheeler re-launched the-resident.co.uk
Pod racer/fighter plane/speeding bullet or car? Olli Nott Motors Reporter
olli@the-resident.co.uk
When did you last regard a journey by motor car as an adventure? The Morgan 3 Wheeler is launched to bring the fun and passion back to personal transport. Lift the safety catch from the ‘bomb release’ starter, hear the massive twin cylinders detonate and choose your favourite destination. The iconic design of the Morgan Threewheeler has been updated with 21st Century technology. The powertrain is a V Twin fuel injected engine mated to a Mazda 5 speed gearbox, with a reverse gear, which is new for the modern Morgan. This provides smooth ‘get in and drive’ convenience with the thrill of extreme performance. The car is a fusion of old and new. Safety is paramount with a reinforced tubular chassis and twin rollbars for driver and passenger. A sturdy V belt provides traction to the reinforced rear tyre. Some things have not changed. The Morgan Threewheeler still holds long distance speed records for one litre cars set in the 1930’s so why change the shape? The pronounced bullet shape and the exposed chassis and aluminium tub are accompanied by the aeroplane profile of the car’s sides.
The shape is of a gentle yet powerful missile at the front leading to a beetle back tail at the rear. From the design viewpoint, the focus was set on making the car as close to an aeroplane as possible, while retaining handy extra space for driver, passenger and a holdall in the rear. But above all the Morgan 3 Wheeler is designed for one purpose alone, to make driving fun. A leather padded cockpit complete with aircraft instrumentation adds to the sense of flying on the road. The car is easy to control with compact dimensions offering a perfect view ahead and to the rear. The car seems to respond as much to thought as physical input. Dynamism is further enhanced by what the Morgan design team calls a sporty “race on Sunday” design philosophy. The car’s lines do not end abruptly but instead flow rhythmically, and are meant to be reminiscent of a race track; the old Three Wheelers home. The smooth profile makes the car look sleeker and lower. The sculpted bonnet and boot enhance the aerodynamic feel and the short overhangs front and rear emphasize the sports car sense of purpose. The new Morgan 3 Wheeler will be available with a V twin from specialist engine builder S & S. The car is approved by US and European road transport authorities for safety and
emissions. With an economical 115 bhp, the motor provides maximum power at minimum revs. Big torque spells effortless hill-climb ability. The current focus of the Morgan Motor Company to cut CO2 emissions and low fuel consumption is very much part of the rationale behind the launch of this car. Bespoke leather and paint are available at extra cost as on the
classic Morgan. A Polished engine, stainless steel tailpipes, cowl, polished cowl, headlamps and roll hoops are also extra cost options for a more classic look. Exciting graphic packs to compliment the Sport “race on Sunday” philosophy. High quality decals are available to give the owner the opportunity to boost the sporty attitude of the new
Morgan 3 Wheeler. These include special designs including US military and British Air Force inspired logos, oval racing numbers and stripes, a fearsome shark nose, chequered winner’s bonnet, official national flags and the Morgan wings. Prices are estimated to be around £25,000 For more information, visit www. morgan3wheeler.co.uk
Volvo Ocean Race limited editions Vauxhall in the top The Volvo Ocean Race is the world’s most gruelling sailing adventure, testing the sailing prowess and human endeavour of its participants, and competing all over the globe. To celebrate the start of the fourth Volvo Ocean Race, Volvo Cars have launched three limited edition models specifically designed with the sailing adventure in mind. Design details inspired by life on board a boat help distinguish these models from their standard counterparts with unique interior and exterior refinements. Launched at the Geneva Motorshow, three of Volvo’s models will be available in the UK with this special Ocean Race inspired specification, allowing customers to own a piece of Volvo’s involvement in the world’s most challenging of sailing events. The Volvo Ocean Race Editions will be available to order in the new Volvo V60, XC60 and XC70 from April 2011 with customer cars expected to be delivered in July 2011. Engine availability and pricing have yet to be confirmed in the UK, but it’s expected that most of the current range will be offered. Customers can choose between
spot for car sales
two luxurious exterior colours, Volvo Ocean Blue II or Electric Silver, in conjunction with the sail-inspired leather upholstery in off-black and soft beige with embossed Volvo Ocean Race Logo on the backrest of the front seats. Other features are the uniquely designed aluminium wheels, chromed detailing and the Volvo Ocean Race emblem on the front wings. Inside the car, the seats and door panels feature an added level of craftsmanship. The load cover
displays the Volvo Ocean Race logo in print with stitching and sheet detailing, there are textile floor mats with clew-inspired (lower corner of a sail) details in aluminium and the tread plate in aluminium is embossed with the text “Volvo Ocean Race”. In addition to the aluminium overhaul, the Human Machine Interface, Volvo’s onboard computer system, start-up display shows the Volvo Ocean Race logo and text. Volvo Cars estimates to sell about 7,500 cars globally.
Vauxhall dominated UK car sales last month with a total of 9,812 cars registered, nearly 2,300 more than that achieved by any other manufacturer. Led by the Corsa, which recorded sales of 2,617, Vauxhall ended February with five models in the top ten. The Astra – which now includes the British-built Sports Tourer – was the second best-selling Vauxhall, followed by the Insignia, Zafira and Meriva. Vauxhall also blitzed three individual sectors: mid-size, with the Insignia; compact MPV, with the Zafira and Meriva; and small-car with the Corsa. With the exception of the Zafira, all Vauxhall’s top-ten models have come to market in the last two years and each has rapidly grown within its respective class. In 2010, the Astra was the UK’s best-selling retail car, while both the Insignia and Zafira led their segments overall, with the Insignia proving the most popular fleet purchase
in the mid-size class. But British buyers haven’t just been attracted by the strength and breadth of Vauxhall’s line-up. The company’s Lifetime Warranty has also provided buyers of new and used cars with a level of reassurance which is unique in the market, enhancing the appeal of every car in the range. “Vauxhall is making headway like never before in the British car market,” said Duncan Aldred, Vauxhall’s Managing Director. “Last month proved that we are now capable of attracting more customers than any other manufacturer, and this is down to the strength of our products, their competitive pricing and a warranty on every new car which has the potential to last a lifetime. “We’re also confident that our sponsorship of the Home Nations football will help us to engage with new customers, who may never have considered buying a Vauxhall before.”

Closing Date 4th April 2011
needed BEEcome a beekeeper Enterpreneurs for Young Enterprise The Wisborough Green division of the West Sussex Bee Keepers Association (WSBKA) is holding a beekeepers course on Sat 19 February at Pulborough village hall. The event is designed for people with an interest in keeping bees but who don’t have any experience or are beginners. No equipment is required which makes it ideal for people who don’t want to invest in bees or the
appropriate clothing before deciding if they want to continue. The course will teach budding beekeepers about how to get started, other teaching facilities and the bees and their lifecycle. In addition to the one-day course, there is also a programme of summer courses and open events where people can see inside a hive and handle the bees.
There are now 20,000 beekeepers in the UK, a figure which has double in recent years. This is considered to be due to the falling number of honeybees in the UK and around the world. For more information visit www. wgbka.org.uk or contact Roger Patterson on 01403 790 637 or 07976306492 or Judy Knight on 01403 752 169 or email judyknight@hotmail.co.uk
Regional final Throughout the South East pupils are encouraged by Young Enterprise and supported to set up their own ‘company’ with a real product, brand and marketing, develop a business plan and acquire a bank loan. Their ideas are then presented in various area and county finals and the winners are then invited to the Regional Final which is taking place on Tuesday 14th June at The Capitol in Horsham.
Young Enterprise are keen to find an entrepreneur who would be willing to come and speak to the students at the final. This need be no more than 20 minutes and doesn’t need huge amounts of preparation, it’s more about inspiring the young people to think about business start ups, the pitfalls, anecdotes etc and would be to an audience of about 150. If you would be interested to get involved, please email Karen Nicholls (karen.nicholls@yese.org.uk)

Nurse’s bitter medicine for Horsham Scoreline is harsh on Hornets but the relegation zone gets dangerously close after yet another defeat hornetsreview.co.uk Football
Craig Nurse hit a hat-trick as Bury Town completed a league double over the Hornets with a 4-1 win that strengthened their grip on second place. Yet the margin of victory arguably flattered the visitors, who only looked truly comfortable during the final quarter of an hour. Horsham, for whom new signing Ashley-Paul Robinson enjoyed an encouraging debut up front, deserved to turn around on level terms thanks to Pat Harding’s goal on the stroke of half time. But Nurse’s second of the game dealt the hosts a blow from which they never fully recovered, despite hitting the woodwork and forcing Marcus Garnham into several fine saves. Garnham was called into action in only the third minute when Jamie Cade, Williams Peauroux and Anthony Storey combined for the latter to send in a shot that was saved. Bury’s first meaningful sortie into the Horsham half almost led to a goal when the ball dropped for Kieran Leabon six yards out, but Mark Knee made an excellent clearance. Three minutes later the deadlock was broken, Russell Short and Sam Reed combining to put Nurse through. The lead might have been extended on 20 minutes when Sam Reed and brother Lee set up Leabon, whose first-time shot went wide. A minute later Bury carved their way through the Hornets’ midfield with worrying ease, but Sam Reed was thwarted by Alan Mansfield. A corner almost provided Horsham with an equaliser when Robinson’s shot landed at the feet of Billy

Dunn, whose effort was palmed away by Garnham. Paul Kennett put in a crucial block on Sam Reed when he looked set to increase the visitors’ lead and Nurse was denied by Mansfield’s low save. Peauroux’s shot was deflected over the crossbar after a neat bit of skill from the Frenchman. When Storey was given a second chance to cross, Harding was on hand to flick the ball in for a deserved equaliser. But Horsham fell behind again soon after the break. Storey’s clearance went straight to Mark Coulson, Knee slipped as Leabon received the ball and Nurse beat Mansfield from inside the box. An eventful few minutes saw Robinson power the ball into the net, but with play having already been called back for a foul, before Chris Henderson lobbed wide of Mansfield’s goal. Terrific play by Robinson created space for Storey and Harding, only for the former to be denied again by Garnham. Robinson sent Dunn in on goal, where he was stopped by a combination of Leabon and Garnham. From the resulting corner, Kennett agonised as he sent a header against the upright. Having come so close to drawing level, Horsham were stunned a few minutes later when Bury went further ahead with a goal out of nothing. Leabon appeared to overrun the ball but was allowed to continue before crossing low for Nurse to
complete his hat-trick with a tap-in. Nurse was inches away from a fourth with a chip onto the roof of the net and went even closer when his cross-shot smacked against the far post. Dunn’s stinging drive forced Garnham into an instinctive save, but Bury put the final nail in Horsham’s coffin when Sam Reed played in brother Lee. It was a harsh result for Horsham, whose mood was not helped by news that Hastings United had closed the gap to three points. The Arrows visit Gorings Mead tomorrow week, March 26, for what promises to be a massive game. Horsham visit Cray Wanderers tomorrow (Saturday) before hosting Burgess Hill Town in the Sussex Senior Cup on Wednesday.

Nick Bristow struck a seven-minute hat-trick as Horsham U13 beat Chichester City U13 7-1 on Sunday. It was the young sharpshooter’s second treble of the weekend, after a similar spree for Steyning Strikers U13 on Saturday, and followed his six-goal demolition of Rustington Otters for Horsham last month. Bristow scored after 31, 33 and 38 minutes, the last a cheeky back heel, while Jack Reeves, Hugo Cowan, Dan Cusdin and George Matthews were also on target. Chi held out for 25 minutes, but
Reeves opened the floodgates after Bristow ran all the way down the left. Horsham U15 drew 1-1 with St Hills Blues U15 in their first home match since November 12. Zak Comber scored from Jacob Waller’s cross before Comber, Stanley Rice and Jake Legrange went close, but Horsham goalkeeper Lewis Blaney made some fine saves.

Jeal’s the real deal as Forest turn the tables Nick Hind Football
the-resident.co.uk/sport
Aaron Jeal powers in his second goal with his reliable head
Aaron Jeal grabbed the plaudits with a superb display to stun highflying Newhaven. The midfield dynamo’s brace ensured Spooners Road was rocking at the final whistle, sealing a vital victory to keep bottom-of-the-table Forest in touch with the pack and ending the visitors’ six-game winning streak. The omens looked good for the home side when Newhaven’s top onion-bagger, 18-goal midfielder Lee Robinson, failed a late fitness test and had to watch from the sidelines. It was a better day for his brother Jake, who scored twice for Torquay
United, but Forest could sense an upset and outplayed their rivals early on before grabbing a deserved lead on 15 minutes. Jeal’s swivel shot from 15 yards was all about placement. The lack of pace on the ball bamboozled standin goalkeeper Jamie Strickland, who failed to pick the flight as he helped it in off a post. Strickland redeemed himself, pulling out a beauty to divert Michael Spence’s rocket over the crossbar as forward-thinking Forest looked to cash in on their purple patch. Tom Mason rattled the bar with a warning early in the second half, but Forest continued with their progressive approach. It paid off when Will Brownlee’s centre from the left found a soaring Jeal, who tucked his glancing header into the corner to silence the already quiet visitors.

Newhaven responded, forming a line of four up top in search of a way back, and Sean Breach netted on 80 minutes with a smart half-volley from 15 yards. Bruce ‘the legend’ Dumbrill commanded his troops and his area with distinction in the final minutes as Newhaven launched a plethora of bombs into his box. Forest boss Dave Cocoracchio said: “We have been competing really well and closing in on this result. “The performances have been exceptional of late and finally we have got the pay-off for all our hard work and determination.”

Mortimer hat-trick for Heath Sam Chapman Football
Broadbridge Heath put in one of their worst performances for a long time but still managed to take three points from one of the toughest away fixtures in the league. Heath started brightly with Jamal Sultan’s pace causing problems. It was no surprise when he cut inside to slide a perfect pass for Russell Mortimer to hook into the far corner. Further opportunities fell to Michael Wood, Mortimer and Sultan, but Heath goalkeeper Ken Westoby three times went full length to hold shots from the edge of the box. Heath occasionally caught Saltdean
on the break in the second half, notably when Sultan rounded the keeper only to drive over, but it came as no surprise when the hosts equalised. After defending the edge of the box defiantly, Heath suddenly started to turn the home defence and they equalised after 73 minutes. Wood crossed, the keeper flapped, the ball was turned back into the danger area and Mortimer crashed home. On 88 minutes Wood was brought down by the keeper, allowing Mortimer to complete his hat-trick from the spot with his 19th goal in 19 games. Saltdean were hardly able to believe they had got nothing from the game, while Heath reflected on the old adage that good sides win when

not playing well. Heath are five points off third place and eight away from second-placed Newhaven with five games in hand. Horsham Sparrows Ladies showed great bouncebackability to thrash Black Hawks Youth 13-0. Lucy Sharpe led the rout with seven goals, including three from headers. Serena Everett notched four, with Chloe Ansell and the tenacious Liz Ogden also on target.
A crowd of almost 400 saw Broadbridge Heath U18 lose 1-0 to Burgess Hill Town U18 in the Dennis Probee Cup final at Culver Road, Lancing. Heath manager Chris Higgins told The Resident: “Every one of the players gave everything in trying to win this game, but it wasn’t to be. “Our congratulations go to Burgess Hill, but we take a lot of pride in our attitude and performance.” The other Broadbridge Heath U18 team secured a vital 2-1 win against Lavant U18, boosting their hopes of a league and cup double. Harry Balfour scored both, while Alex Beaumont and Henry Liley went close several times and Heath goalkeeper Jack Fielder made two superb saves. Horsham YMCA U18 are still looking for their first win of the season after losing 1-0 to Worthing U18 at Gorings Mead. Much to the frustration of the YM players, staff and fans, the referee blew for full time even though there should have been at least another minute plus stoppage time.
Horsham Sparrows U15 beat Roffey Athletic U15 6-0 with a fantastic team performance crowned by George Baker’s hat-trick. Joe Scallan struck from the edge of the area, Dan Stutchbury and James Cooper also scored and Zac Chinn was man of the match. Richard Castle scored twice, Ben Martin got the first and Adam Bolitho starred as Broadbridge Heath U15 defeated Ockley Acorns U15 3-0. An Andrew Roberts penalty and a fine performance by Andrew Tripp were not enough to prevent Lower Beeding Lions U14 losing 2-1 at home to Horsham Tigers U14. Horsham Sparrows Girls U13 lost 1-0 despite outplaying Worthing Divas U13 for large parts of the match. Manager Tony Monella said: “I would class it as a good day at the office even though the scoreline was a tad disappointing.” Horsham Sparrows Girls U11 produced one of the best performances of the weekend to beat double-winners Oakwood Girls U11 6-2. Sparrows went 1-0 down but hit back through Jazmine Younger (two), Felicity Love (two), Imogen Sawyer and Amy Henson.

Undefeated Horsham U7 were crowned joint champions of West Sussex after scoring 31 tries in five matches at Chichester. Horsham beat Bognor 6-2 with fine skills by Lucy Senneck, Rory Quigley and Harrison White, then edged out Pulborough 6-5 thanks to late tries by Thomas Kimber and Henry Webster. Noteable performances by James Norbury and William Newson helped Horsham beat Hove 4-3 before tries by Lewis Jones, Jack Green and Jack Smith contributed to a 9-3 win against Midhurst. The final against Haywards Heath was a brilliant demonstration of tag rugby and ended 6-6 to leave Horsham the only unbeaten side. Coach Justin Acres said: “Selection was a tough call and the 10 selected had a responsibility for the non-selected to deliver a good performance. “They all did this and more – a fantastic squad effort.”
A much-changed Holbrook team crashed to a 76-3 defeat at Hastings and Bexhill. Missing nine regular starting players and with further disruptions caused by last-minute drop-outs, this was not the Holbrook side that had climbed to second in the league. Arriving late did not bode well for the visitors against a strong side still smarting from their defeat by Holbrook a month earlier, and only Rich Brooker’s penalty prevented the seasiders from recording a shut-out. Stand-in captain Mark Devlin said: “The squad is very disappointed. We missed key players, but on a more positive note this gave a lot of second team players a chance to step up. “We will need to work on Holbrook’s strength in depth if we wish to compete in the London leagues.” Barns Green’s long unbeaten run came to an end with a 33-19 defeat at Sussex Police after a string of earlymorning drop-outs and the early loss of captain Sam Callaghan through injury.

Horsham enjoyed back-to-back wins in the South League Kent/ Sussex Regional 1, beating Bexleyheath and Belvedere (BBHC) 7-0 on Saturday and Brighton and Hove 6-1 on Sunday. The Horsham men were looking to avenge an early-season defeat by BBHC, but they had to wait until the 26th minute before Mark Humphreys scored from a penalty flick to start the goal fest. From then on it was a steady stream as the home side dominated and created numerous chances. Only once did Horsham look likely to concede a goal, but a fantastic clearance by Ian Brown and Pete Barber kept the ball out. A few minutes later captain John Burroughs picked up a loose ball in the D to score, and shortly before the break he added his second. Early in the second half he completed his hat-trick – a neat tap-in from Matt Hough’s cross. With an increasingly frustrated BBHC on the back foot, Horsham scored again through a drag flick from Tom Anguine. Duncan Howarth added two more goals, while Mark Vivien was man of the match for his solid work at the back. Coach Sam Naismith was very happy with his side’s performance, particularly the youngsters in the side who demonstrated their versatility by switching roles to create scoring opportunities. On Sunday it was more of the same as Horsham took control against Brighton and Hove, a team languishing just off the bottom of the table and certain to face relegation. Despite some tired legs, Horsham finished 6-1 winners with goals by Mark Ansell (two), Mark Humphreys,

John Burroughs, Ian Brown and Richard Blakesley. They go second in the table, one point above Sutton Valence who have a game in hand. Horsham have two games left in what could be an interesting battle for second spot. If it comes down to goal difference, their 13-goal bonanza at the weekend could prove decisive. Horsham had a 3-2 golden goal victory against Essex club Havering in the third round of the National Mixed Trophy. With so many of the men’s first XI absent for the league game, it was always going to be a tough game and Horsham will be delighted to have made it through to the next round in April. Horsham Ladies stay sixth after a comfortable 4-2 win at Cambridge City.

Horsham Girls U18 travelled to Witney, Oxfordshire, in the quarter-finals of the National Plate, although most of the team turned up at the wrong venue. A quick team talk from Brian Humphreys and the girls were fired up, ready to start the warm-up only 30 minutes after the opposition had begun theirs. Horsham began well and opened the scoring with a long ball from Jessie Dean into the D for Becky Heslop to pick up and slip through the goalkeeper’s legs. The Witney attack responded with a quick break, catching Horsham off guard and eventually putting the ball

past Carolynn Watson. Horsham regrouped and responded positively, with Lizzie Wait and Tessa Harwood putting pressure on the opposition’s 25. And they eventually broke through with a well-won short corner by Louisa Denman, which saw Dean’s signature disguise-slap rocket into the bottom left corner. Leading 2-1 at half time, Horsham came out strongly and it was not long before they extended their lead through an unchallenged reverse hit by Heslop.
Witney continued to pressurise Horsham, causing Ellie Lawrence to make some crucial tackles and forcing Watson into fine saves. But Horsham did not let their standards drop, continued to play with a high intensity and created many chances. Eventually they put the result beyond doubt with an instinctive flick by Dean over a logged goalie. This was an outstanding performance by Horsham who played topclass hockey and provided great entertainment for the travelling crowd. Thanks to our coach Brian Humphries and manager Jane Denman, who have been the main support network for our successes, and to our brilliant crowd who provide vocal support and encouragement throughout each game.

Royals closing in on coronation Jamie Tullett Youth Football

Royal United U15 cemented their place at the top of the table with this impressive win over thirdplaced Albury Eagles U15 at Tanbridge House School. It was the home side who dominated from the kick off, with Connor Cushing dictating play from the middle of the park and Tom Frankland causing the Albury defence all kinds of problems down the right wing. Twice his tricky runs won corners and both times the set play from Frankland was met by defender Luke Polie, who headed just over the crossbar on each occasion. But it was Albury who took the lead. Tom Cantoni played a superbly weighted ball which dropped just over the heads of the defenders, allowing Christopher Brookes to bring it down and shoot into the far corner. The match was suspended for half an hour after Albury’s Alex Dangerfield collided with a team-mate and suffered two nasty cuts to the head. Thankfully he was able to walk to the ambulance, to a round of applause, with everyone wishing him a speedy recovery. Royals, whose squad includes nine players from Horsham U15, continued to dominate and eventually equalised just before half time. Frankland caused havoc on the right again and played the ball across goal for Jake Legrange to loop a header over goalkeeper Jonathan Pennock. Early in the second half Frankland deceived the Albury left back with a series of tricks, before crossing into the box, only to see the ball curl into the top corner for Royals’ second goal. Royals soon increased their lead,

The substitute’s initial shot was well saved, but he collected the rebound and played in Zac Love to finish into an empty net. Albury got a last-gasp consolation when Cantoni cut into the box and found Harvey Marshall whose bouncing shot went in off a post. Delighted Royals manager Richard Chaplin said: “We played some great possession football. We have two games left, against Steyning and Billingshurst, so there’s still all to play for.”
