Footpaths needing attention

Posted on

B73BY
The Parish Council has been advised that our local Access Ranger will be arranging Public Rights of Ways inspections next month. Following these inspections, routine maintenance work will be organised.

If anyone is aware of any issues or work that needs doing, please contact West Sussex Public Rights of Way by the end of March via the following email address: prow@westsussex.gov.uk. Please copy in the Parish Council for our records (parishclerk@fulking.net).

Path numbers can be found on the iMap on the West Sussex website and you may find it useful to refer to the ‘how to use the iMap’ for this. Both the map and the guide can be found via the following link: www.westsussex.gov.uk/imap.

Poynings & Edburton road closures

Dogleg closure
The dog-leg that connects Poynings to the Saddlescombe Road will be closed from Monday 15th February until Friday 19th February. More details here but the notice appears to be incorrect judging from the diversion signs already posted.

If you were thinking that you might escape from Fulking by driving in the opposite direction, that’s tough, the Edburton Road is also closed, for the same period (rat underpass work). Stock up and stay put.

‘Tell Us Once’ service launches in West Sussex

Losing a loved one can be a traumatic experience.

There are lots of things that need to be done, at a time when you probably least feel like doing them, including informing what can feel like a never ending list of government departments and local authority services.

That’s why West Sussex County Council, in partnership with District and Borough Councils in West Sussex, is introducing the ‘Tell Us Once’ service in July.

‘Tell Us Once’ is a Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) service which is offered during death registration appointments.

It’s a free service, which notifies several government and council agencies of the death. These include:

  • The DWP
  • HM Revenue and Customs
  • Identity and Passport Services
  • Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) and
  • Council services, such as Adults’ Services, Blue Badge, Children’s Services, Council Tax, Electoral Services

At registration, the Registrar will add the details of the deceased to the Tell Us Once national database.

You will then be given a unique reference number which will enable you to activate ‘Tell Us Once’ with a visit to the website or a single call, should you wish to take up this service.
