Tutor: Laurie Jackson

Highways A23gency
Drainage works at Randolph’s Copse:
Work is currently programmed from 10 March until the end of May. The works are located on the A23 between its junctions with Patcham Interchange and the B2117 to the north of Brighton.
Lighting relocation, Hickstead–Bolney–Pease Pottage
The work will all be carried out overnight and involve carriageway and lane closures. It is expected to be completed on the morning of Thursday 17 April.
These works are additional to the “major improvements” to the A23 that local readers will already be very familiar with.
Two ways for you to help our village
Spring is almost upon us so please come along to the North Town Field next Saturday to help us get it ready for the long warm days to come. Bring gardening tools please.

Please get involved in keeping the village tidy and free of rubbish.
There are four meeting points:
- Party 1 starts at the corner of Clappers/Holmbush lanes and moves South;
- Party 2 starts at the corner of The Street/Clappers Lane and moves North;
- Party 3 meets at the Ram House by the Shepherd and Dog and moves up The Street;
- Party 4 meets at The Deans in Poynings Road and moves towards The Street.
Take care of traffic, wear bright colours and please bring suitable gloves and bin liners to collect the rubbish. Dispose of collected rubbish in your wheelie bins. If this time is not convenient choose your own time and do your bit. Perhaps ending up at the Shepherd & Dog for a well earned pint!
Any queries give me a call on 271.

A283 delays for twenty weeks
The West Sussex Gazette reports:
Roadworks begin on the A283 to create a new right-turn for a new housing development in Sullington. The junction improvements are expected to last for 20 weeks, finishing around August 3. The works are in Storrington Road, between Water Lane and Hampers Lane. Two-way signals will be in operation 24-hours a day, with manual control to manage traffic flows at peak times.
