The community website of the village of Fulking, West Sussex
West Sussex County Council is running a consultation on the provision of Household Waste Recycling Sites (HWRSs) as it needs to save £18.6m in the coming year.
The main proposals affecting Fulking residents are plans to limit the opening hours of the Burgess Hill and Shoreham sites (Shoreham closed Mon & Tues), and to charge more for non-household waste.
The consultation runs for 16th May to 12th June. You can respond here (when it opens)

From poynings.net:
The new owners of Pondtail Wood, opposite Singing Hills Golf Club, have had a temporary Stop Notice placed on them by the South Downs National Park due to the felling of trees and laying of hardcore. The notice has been placed on the gates to the woodland and the landowner made aware. Please refrain from entering the site yourself to take photos, etc. The SDNPA will be monitoring the site and you may be putting yourself at risk. If you notice any activity please report it immediately to Mike Airey on 07884 165 867 (Poynings Parish Council Chair) or Dave Rogers 07768 694 263 (Forestry Commission).

Roy served there as a radar operator, using the receiver in the sketch above, during the final years of its operation in the late 1950s.

A reminder that a group of villagers are hoping to put together a photographic Downland Village Calendar for 2017. The content will be high-quality photos of Fulking and nearby villages featuring local landscapes, the South Downs in all seasons, weather, buildings (e.g., churches) and possibly wildlife and livestock. Photographs should be in landscape format (i.e., wide rather than tall) with minimum pixel dimensions of 2500 x 1700. The response so far has been truly inspiring but we want the range to be as wide as possible, so please send your favourite Downland photos to photos@fulking.net by the end of May at the latest. Also send us a telephone number so we can contact you. Money raised from the calendar will go to help the village.
