The Village Hall gets wi-fi
The Village Hall is an instance of a ‘Faraday Cage’. Although the building is basically a large wooden shed, the walls and roof are covered with earthed corrugated iron. This acts as a barrier to electromagnetic radiation including mobile phone and wi-fi signals. Until now it has not been possible to take a laptop or tablet into the hall and use it to connect to the internet.
Owners of metal caravans face the same problem and the solution they employ is to install a wi-fi repeater inside the caravan and connect it to an access point plus antenna outside. This is the solution that has now been adopted for Fulking Village Hall. The good news is that it works. The bad news is that the user interface is dire. The installation is likely to find its first role during Fulking Parish Council planning meetings.

West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service Integrated Risk Management Plan
West Sussex County Council has initiated a six week public consultation regarding their Integrated Risk Management Plan. The consultation runs until Monday 28 May. The plan explains the fire service’s activities in detail on:
- Prevention — educating the community on how to reduce risks through safe and well visits, school visits and other training.
- Protection — providing safer public spaces within the built environment, fire safety inspections and enforcement.
- Response — sending fire appliances and firefighters to emergency incidents. This can include fires, road traffic collisions, flooding etc.
- People — how we address the challenges we face in delivering a highly trained, diverse workforce.
- Value for money — ensuring everything we do is as cost efficient as possible (see photo, above).
- Partnership and collaboration — how we will work with other organisations to achieve our organisational aims.
People are asked to comment on the priorities identified by the West Sussex Fire Authority. To read the draft plan and to take part in the consultation please go to www.westsussex.gov.uk/IRMP2018.
