  • Communities and Public Protection
    www.westsussex.gov.uk Communities and Public Protection 2016-2020 Introduction The Communities and Public Protection directorate works to support West Sussex to become safer, stronger and more resilient. The services we deliver are fully aligned to the core priorities of the Future West Sussex Plan to: l Give children the best start in life l Champion the West Sussex economy l Promote independence in later life To achieve this our vision is to support individuals, communities and businesses to be safer, stronger and more resilient; help maintain and improve wellbeing; deliver our statutory duties and transform services. The directorate brings together a range of skills, background and experience that we believe can support these aims in the most efficient way possible. West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service is at the heart of the directorate. It is a service well-known for its emergency response and will always be there for people in times of need. However, now, more than ever, our service is focused on prevention and protection, rather than simply providing a blue-light rescue operation when things go wrong. That approach is indicative of the whole of Community and Public Protection directorate. Fire and rescue teams work alongside community and public health professionals, Resilience and Emergency colleagues and Trading Standards experts. We believe this blend of professional teams can jointly deliver the best service possible to the communities we serve. We are also expanding the type of work we do, and the range of organisations we work with. This document sets out the work we have underway now and our key priorities for the next five years.

  • East Sussex Record Office Report of the County Archivist April 2008 to March 2009 Introduction
    eastsussex.gov.uk East Sussex Record Office Report of the County Archivist April 2008 to March 2009 Introduction The year was again dominated by efforts towards achieving The Keep, the new Historical Resource Centre, but the core work of the Record Office continued more busily than ever and there was much of which to be proud. In July 2008 we took in our ten-thousandth accession, something of a milestone in the office’s own history of almost 60 years. An application to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for £4.9million towards the costs of The Keep was submitted by the Record Office on behalf of the capital partners, East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council and the University of Sussex, in September. This represented around 20% of the anticipated costs of the building, since the partners remain committed to find the remainder. In December we learned our fate: that we had been unsuccessful. Feedback from the HLF indicated that ours had been an exemplary application, and one which they would have liked to have supported but, in a year when the effect of diverting HLF money to the Olympics was being felt, it was thought necessary to give precedence to some very high-profile projects. We were, of course, disappointed, but determined not to be deterred, and the partners agreed to pursue ways forward within the existing funding. Because it would further hold up the project, adding to inflation costs, but give no guarantee of success, we decided not to re-apply to the HLF, and by the end of the financial year were beginning to look at options for a less expensive building.

  • The Harbour W.I
    THE HARBOUR W.I. Eighteen Members sent their apologies to the President Hiliary Hooper for not being at the Meeting on the 9th January . mostly illness! The federation’s events and bursaries were read out by the secretary Irene Scoble, the financial statement by the treasurer, Christine Bateman, and the outings by Pat Pearce. Hiliary welcomed a new committee member, Jackie Stevens, who is replacing Catherine Smith. Catherine, who is moving, was thanked for her time on the committee. The afternoon continued with the programme secretary, Jacquie Frost introducing speaker Ann Chance OBE. Ann arrived in full cowboy gear, including a lasso! and gave a very fun talk to the members entitled “Saddle Sore in Montana”. Ann had always wanted to go on a ‘Cattle Drive’ from the age of eight, but didn’t actually learn to ride until she was 64! Since then she has been on five cattle drives; she’s now 79. The cattle drives lived up to all her expectations. They shouted ‘Yee-hah’- ‘Head ‘em up and move ’em on’ and also ‘Wagons roll’! She even sat round campfires and ate baked beans. Ann explained the cowboy outfit – the 18 inch high boots with bells on were to deter Rattle Snakes – heavy Wrangler jeans and a long sleeved shirt for the sun – leather gloves – and a bandanna that had several uses, from keeping the dust and insects out of your mouth to washing with. All topped off with the cowboy hat with its ‘Stampede Strap’. She can now lasso a cow (if it’s standing still!), crack a bullwhip and round up strays (if there aren’t too many!) Ann has raised lots of money for charity with her cattle drives and amusing talks and was awarded the OBE for her work.

The fi rst County Archivist of East Sussex was appointed in January 1950, which is the date that we have taken as marking the offi cial beginning of East Sussex Record Offi ce. Read more on ESRO’s offi cial history and developments, its ups and downs, later on in this report in Christopher Whittick’s amusing and thought-provoking recollections. As if in anticipation of the anniversary, we were honoured in November by a visit by His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, who toured The Maltings to meet staff, Friends, searchroom visitors and local children to learn more of what we do. Elizabeth Hughes (ESRO), Peter Field (HM Lord Lieutenant), Christopher Whittick (ESRO) and HRH the Duke of Kent, examining his grandmother Queen Mary’s signature in the Lewes Castle visitors’ book, 1927 To deal with the present, the year was once again dominated by efforts towards achieving The Keep, the partnership project between East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council and the University of Sussex to build a new Historical Resource Centre, but the core work of the Record Offi ce also continued as busily than ever, despite several disruptions, as this report seeks to illustrate.
