WHATLINGTON PARISH COUNCIL HELD on THURSDAY 21St MAY 2015 in the VILLAGE HALL at 7.30Pm MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL MEETING OF WHATLINGTON PARISH COUNCIL HELD ON THURSDAY 21st MAY 2015 IN THE VILLAGE HALL AT 7.30pm All councillors signed their ‘Declaration of Acceptance of Office’ PRESENT:- Councillors, Apthorp, Fisher, and White District Councillor Kirby-Green 1) ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN Councillor Fisher was proposed and nominated by Councillor White seconded by Councillor Apthorp. The Chairman then signed his ‘Declaration of Acceptance of Office’ and took the Chair. OPEN SESSION / ITEMS FOR INFORMATION ONLY There were six Local Government Electors attending. A Parishioner said she was concerned at the proposal from Rother for the naming of the A.21 or New Road as it is also known. The Post Office have said they have nothing to do with naming of roads. Councillor White said it was unclear if the council have to audit the road in the parish or Rother and we need to know under what Statutory Basis they were doing this. The clerk said she had spoken to Andrew Gale who said Rother were carrying out this process for the whole area as there are many roads in parishes un-named, all the parish council have to do is consult residents on the name they have chosen and forward their choice to them. The work will take him many years to complete so there is no hurry. The clerk will contact Mr Gale and obtain the statutory basis Rother are using for their request. The Chairman of the village hall committee asked if the council could possible increase their payment towards the costs for work on the hall. Both the work on the roof and the electricity are higher than they expected and decorating the inside of the hall is booked for the coming week. The Chairman advised this can be discussed under item 20. District Councillor Eleanor Kirby-Green said she was re-elected at the recent elections along with Emma Rowlinson. Emma would have been here tonight but she needed to attend parishes Annual Assembly but she will be attending our August meeting. They have divided their area between them as she did with David Vereker, Emma will cover Whatlington and Battle and she will cover the other parishes in the Darwell group. Emily advised Rother are in the process of changing the day for refuse collection and recycling. The garden waste will stay the same alternating as at present, some parishioners said they had trouble accessing the information and others explained problems they were having with the collection. Eleanor promised to look into these. The clerk explained that from 1st June collections for refuse, recycling and bottles with be on Friday alternating as at present. The calendar showing the dates from the 1st June can be seen on the Rother site and these are being sent out to all properties in the coming week. Our new PCSO Emma Phillips had come to the meeting to give her report but had to leave to respond to an emergency call. She had asked the clerk to report that there have been two burglaries in the parish and she advised everyone to make sure their doors are locked at all times. Also there are telephone scams in Battle you should never give your bank account details to anyone on the telephone, even the police. She hopes to attend our August meeting. The Clerk said our previous PCSO Demi asked her to thank everyone in the parish for all their help and kindness to him, he always felt welcome and he will miss us. As they cover and help in other parishes we will probably see him from time to time. 2) ELECTION OF VICE CHAIRMAN Councillor Underhill who had advised his willingness to stand was nominated by Councillor Fisher and seconded by Councillor White 3) ADOPTION TO STANDING ORDER 12b As the council’s current Standing Order do not cover voting by written ballot, Councillors resolved to adopt the following wording:- If required, any vote for co-opted councillors positions shall be by written ballot with the Chairman having the casting vote. 4) CO-OPTION TO FILL CASUAL VACANCY FOR COUNCILLOR Mrs Jean Scott gave a short summary about herself and was then co-opted onto the council.

  • World War One: the Deaths of Those Associated with Battle and District
    WORLD WAR ONE: THE DEATHS OF THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH BATTLE AND DISTRICT This article cannot be more than a simple series of statements, and sometimes speculations, about each member of the forces listed. The Society would very much appreciate having more information, including photographs, particularly from their families. CONTENTS Page Introduction 1 The western front 3 1914 3 1915 8 1916 15 1917 38 1918 59 Post-Armistice 82 Gallipoli and Greece 83 Mesopotamia and the Middle East 85 India 88 Africa 88 At sea 89 In the air 94 Home or unknown theatre 95 Unknown as to identity and place 100 Sources and methodology 101 Appendix: numbers by month and theatre 102 Index 104 INTRODUCTION This article gives as much relevant information as can be found on each man (and one woman) who died in service in the First World War. To go into detail on the various campaigns that led to the deaths would extend an article into a history of the war, and this is avoided here. Here we attempt to identify and to locate the 407 people who died, who are known to have been associated in some way with Battle and its nearby parishes: Ashburnham, Bodiam, Brede, Brightling, Catsfield, Dallington, Ewhurst, Mountfield, Netherfield, Ninfield, Penhurst, Robertsbridge and Salehurst, Sedlescombe, Westfield and Whatlington. Those who died are listed by date of death within each theatre of war. Due note should be taken of the dates of death particularly in the last ten days of March 1918, where several are notional. Home dates may be based on registration data, which means that the year in 1 question may be earlier than that given.

  • Primary School Consultation Mountfield and Whatlington East Sussex County Council
    Primary school consultation Mountfield and Whatlington East Sussex County Council Dear Sirs I am ashamed as one of the local Members for the Darwell ward of Rother District Council, that you are contemplating closing down the Mountfield and Whatlington Church of England Primary school. I represent six Parishes and am well aware of the importance of the local schools, churches, doctors village halls and shops in keeping these communities alive. I have often argued, often against popular opinion, of the importance of bringing new housing and new blood into the villages to help preserve them and keep them alive. It amazes me that when each of the villages in this area is going to have to accept more houses, much of it affordable, by Government edict you can contemplate cutting down on one of the mainstays of village life especially without any obvious ability of the larger local schools to accept greater numbers. More houses mean more people, which means more children, which means more school capacity will be needed. All planning should be dictated by the future; we are one of the worst educated countries in Europe and here you are deciding that cramming more pupils from different areas into ever larger classes is the way forward rather than educating those children locally in their own environment where parental influence not only on them but also on the local teachers might be a better option and help the children learn better manners, be better disciplined and have a better chance of future employment through being taught in smaller classes.

  • Roads in the Battle District: an Introduction and an Essay On
    ROADS IN THE BATTLE DISTRICT: AN INTRODUCTION AND AN ESSAY ON TURNPIKES In historic times travel outside one’s own parish was difficult, and yet people did so, moving from place to place in search of work or after marriage. They did so on foot, on horseback or in vehicles drawn by horses, or by water. In some areas, such as almost all of the Battle district, water transport was unavailable. This remained the position until the coming of the railways, which were developed from about 1800, at first very cautiously and in very few districts and then, after proof that steam traction worked well, at an increasing pace. A railway reached the Battle area at the beginning of 1852. Steam and the horse ruled the road shortly before the First World War, when petrol vehicles began to appear; from then on the story was one of increasing road use. In so far as a road differed from a mere track, the first roads were built by the Roman occupiers after 55 AD. In the first place roads were needed for military purposes, to ensure that Roman dominance was unchallenged (as it sometimes was); commercial traffic naturally used them too. A road connected Beauport with Brede bridge and ran further north and east from there, and there may have been a road from Beauport to Pevensey by way of Boreham Street. A Roman road ran from Ore to Westfield and on to Sedlescombe, going north past Cripps Corner. There must have been more. BEFORE THE TURNPIKE It appears that little was done to improve roads for many centuries after the Romans left.

  • Ww2 Civilian Deaths in and from the Battle District
    WW2 CIVILIAN DEATHS IN AND FROM THE BATTLE DISTRICT Records show that 17 civilians in or from the Battle district died as a result of enemy action in the Second World War. The total for the whole country was about 40,000. This otherwise peaceful area had no industries worth bombing but nevertheless suffered along with the rest of the country – though to a much lesser extent than most of the cities and large towns. This was partly due to its being beneath the bombers’ flight path when they rid themselves of undropped bombs on the way home. If in the First World War those who stayed behind in the Battle district were in negligible danger of an early death this would not be true of the later war: nowhere in the UK was safe from enemy attack, regardless of age – and our own dead ranged from 14 months to 77 years. Details are hard to find because the newspapers of the day were properly restrained from reporting anything that would give help to the enemy or harm local morale. However, the overall position is known from a report of August 1945 which, being unofficial, may not be wholly accurate.1 For the area with which this account is concerned the bombing was, in brief: Notes: HE = high explosive; unexpl = unexploded; MG = machine gun.

    Kelly's Directory 1882, Battle, East Sussex BATTLE is an ancient parish and market and union town, with a station on the South Eastern railway and is a polling place for the eastern division of the county, giving its name to the hundred : it is in the rape and county court district of Hastings, diocese of Chichester, archdeaconry of Lewes and rural deanery of Hastings first division, 55¼ miles from London by the South Eastern railway, on the road to and 7 miles north-west from Hastings. The town is governed by a Local Board of Health of nine members: it was anciently called Epiton, but takes its name from the battle of Senlac (Sangue lac) or Hastings, fought here in 1066 by Harold II and William the Norman, in which King Harold and his brother Gurth were slain : Battle stands near a range of hills which formed the battle ground. Battle Abbey, now and since 1857 the property and seat of the Duke of Cleveland K.G. was founded by William the Norman on the spot where Harold was slain and his standard overthrown and was dedicated to St. Martin : in the abbey was preserved the celebrated Battle Abbey Roll, which formed a list of those families which came over with William the Norman : the only rooms ordinarily shown to visitors are the great hall, 57 feet in length, the same in height and 31 feet wide, with a fine timber roof and a vaulted apartment adjoining it, supposed to have been the locutorium or reception room; the gate- house which directly fronts the street from the London road, is a tower about 35 feet square and 54 feet high, comprising three stories, with an octagon turret at each angle and was probably erected by Abbot Retlynge, in the time of Edward III.
