A recent press release from the SDNPA claims that “additional funding for 2015/16 will deliver a series of innovative new initiatives such as .. Wi-Fi on rural bus services”.
What more justification could you need for the purchase of a shiny new 17″ laptop to perch on your knee as you travel to Horsham on the No 17? Answer: a lot.
Wi-Fi-on-rural-bus-services is crazy talk and it isn’t going to happen. If you need convincing, read on.
On Sunday 3rd August, there will be a harp recital by Ella Murrell and a strawberry tea in Newtimber Place gardens in aid of the church at Newtimber.

Local residents who still haven’t found time to read the report [PDF 5,900 pages] may be wondering what impact the trench is going to have on them. The answer, at least for those who live to the east of Truleigh Manor Farm, appears to be “not a lot”.
The main construction compound for the entire trench will be at the side of Edburton Road (page 153) and about 100m x 50m in size (page 159). The report itself does not show exactly where this compound will be located but it seems safe to assume that it will be very close to the point where the trench intersects the road (see above). Given the route that the trench will take, the main works traffic from this compound will use the A2037 rather than coming through Fulking and Poynings. There will be some temporary disruption to Horn Lane and to the A281 in Woodmancote when the trench is cut across them.
Appearances to the contrary, these people are not the contestants in an obscure satellite TV game show that you are ashamed to admit watching. Rather, they are the movers and shakers behind the A27 Action campaign and, if you are a business, they want you to provide them with your email address complete their survey and tell them that your staff will get to work on time and your profits will double when the A27 is improved.

At Brendon Stud, Haresdean Farm, on softrack surface and grass arenas, from Thursday August 7th to Sunday August 10th. Schedule and entry form here.
Do you detest your immediate neighbours? A cheap solution is available just down the road:
Blue peacock and hen (not blue). Have bred, unfortunately crows took chicks. Have to sell due to neighbours complaining. About 4/5 years old. Need knowledgable home as need to be kept in for a while. They are free roaming here so hopefully we can catch them. More information: 01273 857045.
The West Sussex County Times reports:
Onshore construction is expected to start in 2015 and the project including the offshore installation will take four years to complete.
The Argus adds:
For the wind farm to go ahead the company will need to make a final investment decision on the project, and apply for subsidies.
