Peacocks in Poynings
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.

Minister approved trench today
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.
You will surely also want to read the 590-page report from Yr Arolygiaeth Gynllunio: Rampion Offshore Wind Farm and connection works — Examining Authority’s Report of Findings and Conclusions and Recommendation to the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change [PDF].
The route of the envisaged trench through Edburton is shown here.
Mobile promises
The Argus reports:
EE, O2, Three and Vodafone, which make up the Mobile Operators Association, have teamed up with National Parks England to sign [a] government-backed accord. .. The deal is intended to tackle so-called ‘notspots’ – areas where there is little to no mobile coverage. .. Although there are no specific measures in place for the South Downs as yet, it is understood new masts could be built. The accord states new masts would be shared between networks and designed to blend in with the surrounding environment.
