BGS Weald Basin report
Today’s papers are full of shale! shock!! horror!!! in the wake of the new British Geological Survey report on oil and gas in the Weald Basin. Contrary to the impression given by the Telegraph, for example, the intersection between the South Downs National Park and the area thought likely to contain hydrocarbons is actually quite small. Fulking is well outside the core hydrocarbon area. If you want to learn more then read the report itself, not the reports of the report.

Lady Brook Spring update
Northbrook College is planning to start work on Lady Brook Spring on 14th June. Prior to this the area will be strimmed and the lay-by cordoned off. The college is intending to use a small digger to assist with the removal of the concrete posts. The work will be carried out by WSCC Volunteer Development Team and Northbrook College, who will advise the Parish Council if and when local volunteers are needed.
