Downland photos needed
Fulking Village Action Group is planning to produce a Downland Village Calendar of photographs for 2017. Money raised from the calendar will go to help the village.
We need high-quality photos of local landscapes in different seasons and weather, also local wildlife, flora, livestock and scenes of village life / local activities. And we need them now!
Please email your submissions to photos@fulking.net as soon as possible, and by end of May at the latest. Images taken on a decent digital camera should be fine, but ideally they should be as large as possible with a minimum pixel dimension of 2500 x 1700. Also send us a telephone number so we can contact you.
Landscape format is preferred. You must own the copyright of the images and agree to publication of them in the calendar.

Traffic Problems…
I understand that there have been recent occurrences of minor gridlock in the Street and that the parking problem has become of more and more concern to villagers. So the Parish Council, after discussions with Highways at West Sussex County Council, has agreed that the ’backway’ will be refurbished, asphalted and form the east to west section of a one-way system in Fulking.
The Street will form the west to east section. This will necessitate the compulsory purchase of land at the southern end of properties that abut the ‘backway’.
To obviate the need to negotiate the value of such land it has been mutually agreed that a standard sum in compensation of £50 be paid to the freeholder of each of the properties involved. It is expected that work will commence at the beginning of August and completion is anticipated by January 2017. Due to the Government Austerity Programme, the cost of the work involved will be shouldered by Council Tax bands D to F over a five-year period.
