Green bins
If you have already subscribed then the direct debit will roll over until death. But if you are new to the village, or have finally decided that your carefully curated botanical collection (giant hogweed, Himalayan balsam, Japanese knotweed, New Zealand pigmyweed, rhododendron ponticum, spear thistle and ragwort) has become too large, then you may want to click the MSDC advert above and give them your money.
Parish Council Elections
Bob has already explained where your duty lies. Note that there’s only a couple of weeks from the official announcement to the close of nominations (18th March to 3rd April) and the nominations have to be delivered by hand to the Returning Officer at MSDC in Haywards Heath.
Click the image for the single page flyer. But, if you really want to know all about local councils, then click here (eleven page PDF).
If you plan a nomination, or a proxy vote, then you need to read the Notice of Election sooner rather than later!
A Norman’s Tale
A set of three events, two of them dramatic, at (i) St. Nicholas Church & Bramber Castle, (ii) St Mary’s House, and (iii) Sele Priory. Click the Bayeux Tapestry for the details. Admission is free but you will need to book time slots very soon after you read this (one slot has already ‘gifted out’).
Lost keys
I have lost a set of keys including a Chubb door key, with a flat disc on the chain and some car keys. They are likely to be in either the field below the North Town Field, or the big field beyond that. This happened a few days ago.
If anyone has found them please would they email me at gilder6646@aol.com.
