The cost of creating the SDNPA’s South Downs Centre in Midhurst has increased by 39% (from £2.8m to £3.9m) over the last year.
Sussex 4×4 Response are to help police deal with major emergencies. The heavy snow that has fallen in the county over the last few years has shown the benefit of having an extra fleet of all-weather vehicles available to the emergency services. The idea was trialled successfully by Sussex Police during the sudden snowfall in the county in March when Sussex 4×4 Response volunteers helped get 999 control centre staff to their offices to keep the emergency telephone system working. Volunteers will have to undergo first aid training, learn advanced driver skills and be given health and safety guidance before they can get involved in the scheme. They will also vetted by the force and would have to sign a health declaration and confirm their vehicle is in good working order.
The Argus is reporting:
Reports of A2037 Henfield Road partially blocked due to flooding around High Street. There are reports traffic is taking it in turns to pass near to Towers Covent School.
Update 10:35am — this is now resolved.
Somewhere in Wiltshire there a couple of villages that have converted their old red telephone boxes into ‘Take one, leave one’ libraries. They are reported to work well.
We have been advised by the Preston Nomads Cricket Club secretary that they will be holding their Colts presentation evening next Friday 13th Sept 2013 at their club house. This is an event for all age groups and their families.
The evening starts at 5:45 pm and should end at approx. 9pm.
They think there will definitely be increased traffic in the village and particularly in Clappers Lane.
In the case of good weather, it will be an outdoor event.
Dear Parish Clerk,
We recently launched our West Sussex Highways website (in collaboration with our contractor, Balfour Beatty Living Places) with the intention of giving you up-to-date information on the services we provide in maintaining the public highway. I hope you will find the site useful and I would encourage you to visit it. The site is open to everyone so please pass on the website address to your residents and anyone else who may be interested.
The website address is westsussexhighways.org.
I am delighted that we can offer this new service and I hope you will feel much better informed about West Sussex Highways services. If you would like to comment about the website, briefing or updates, please email us at westsussexhighways@bblivingplaces.com
Best Wishes
Pieter Montyn
