Lewes Bonfire Night Just Seven Weeks Away Sep 11, 2019 10:38 BST Lewes bonfire night just seven weeks away The emergency services, Southern and other organisations are reminding people that Lewes Bonfire Night celebrations mean changes to train services and a number of road closures. The measures are part of plans to keep the event as safe and trouble-free as possible. Lewes Bonfire Night presents a unique challenge to the multi-agency group tasked with ensuring public safety. The tens of thousands of people expected in the town mean there is a real danger from over-crowding, particularly in popular areas such as the war memorial. In addition the parades and displays by the Bonfire Societies involve significant amounts of fireworks, Last year, the operation to keep people safe involved hundreds of staff from emergency services, the local council and other organisations. There were four arrests on the night, 20 recorded offences in the town and 78 people were hurt during the celebrations. Many of these were hurt on the procession routes and by bangers or other fireworks. Over-crowded streets make it harder for emergency services to reach those in need of help. This is why the multi-agency group cannot be complacent and have taken a number of actions ahead of the event. As with previous years, a series of travel restrictions will be introduce for 5 November 2019 to help reduce the risks of a serious incident. These are being confirmed well ahead of the event in order to allow people more time to plan. People are also being encouraged to attend fireworks events closer to home and not to attend Lewes Bonfire Night. Road closures will be put in place around the town centre from 16.45 pm on 5 November 2019 as follows: • A27 junction with A277 Brighton Road (Ashcombe Roundabout) • A27 junction with A26 (Southerham Roundabout) • A26 junction with B2192 Ringmer Road (Earwig Corner) • C7 Kingston Road junction with C324 Wellgreen Lane • A275 Offham Rd junction with B2116 Plumpton Road • A27 junction with Southerham Lane (Cliffe Industrial Estate) Rail travel Plans for rail travel on 5 November are as follows: • There will be no trains calling at Lewes, Glynde and Southease after 17.00 in line with the Lewes Road closure order. • There will be no trains calling at Cooksbridge after the 16.16 from Victoria to Eastbourne has stopped there at 17.20 - the same as last year following representations and review. • There will be no trains calling at Falmer after the departure of the 18.31 Brighton to Hastings service at 18.40. This is a change from last year, when the last train was at 17.00, and it has been made in response to feedback. No trains will call at the above stations until the first timetabled trains on the morning of the 6th November. Updates from the multi-agency group can be found at: https://lewesbonfire2019.blogspot.com Southern has an information page here: https://www.southernrailway.com/travel-information/plan-your- journey/events We recognise that there will be an impact on train passengers and road users who are not planning to attend the event. The decision to bring in travel restrictions has been made in the best interests of safety. We hope that those who are inconvenienced will understand that and have time to make alternative arrangements where possible. ends Govia Thameslink Railway Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) operates Thameslink, Great Northern, Southern and Gatwick Express services as follows: • Thameslink – cross-London services between Bedford/Peterborough/Cambridge and Brighton/Horsham/Littlehampton/East Grinstead, and between Luton/St Albans and Sutton/Wimbledon/Rainham; plus services between London and Sevenoaks • Great Northern – services between London and Welwyn, Hertford, Peterborough, Cambridge and King’s Lynn • Southern – services between London and the Sussex coast (Brighton, Worthing, Eastbourne, Bognor Regis, Hastings) and parts of Surrey, Kent and Hampshire (Ashford International, Southampton, Portsmouth) • Gatwick Express – fast, non-stop direct services between Gatwick Airport and London Victoria www.southernrailway.com, www.thameslinkrailway.com, www.gatwickexpress.com, www.greatnorthernrail.com.

SCRAPS OF FOLKLORE COLLICTED BY JOHN PHILIPPS EMSLIE. [THE late Mr. J. P. Emslie was a Londoner by birth, and an engraver by profession. He was accustomed throughout his life— ^839-1913—to make sketching excursions on foot in different parts of England, and to enquire into the local folklore by the way. What he heard he recorded in two small lamo notebooks, one dealing with London and its environs, the other with the country at large, which have now been presented by his executors to the Folklore Society. They will be placed in the Society's library, and the similar books containing topographical drawings, which accompanied them, in the London County Council's Museum. The following Notes represent the contents of the general commonplace book, arranged under counties by Miss Frances Henley of Charlton Kings.

  • 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.
