4 3. INTRODUCTION

This Annual Report outlines the workings and operations of the Parish Council during the last municipal year 2011/12.

The aim of the report is to give a better understanding of the role the Council plays in issues relating to Lancing, and its communities, as well as the work the Council has been involved in, and carried out, over the past year.

To understand the role and responsibilities of the Parish Council, in relation to other Councils and bodies, it is useful to have some knowledge of its operations and make up, and in this respect it is hoped that the information below will offer a brief but informative guide to what the Parish Council is, and does.

Brief history:

Lancing is credited as being the largest Village in England. The Parish Council has been in existence since 1894 and has been representing the communities of Lancing continuously since that time.

The current Parish Hall in South Street is partly built on the site of the old Lancing Fire Station which dates back to the late nineteenth century. The most recent addition was the building of the Jubilee Hall which was opened in 1976.

Lancing was the home of the Lancing carriage and wagon works from 1911 until 1965. The works were purchased by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) to relieve the pressure on their Brighton works at that time and covered an area of some 66 acres (270,000 m2) of land. Because of the rural situation of the new factory it was necessary for the railway to operate a special daily train from Brighton for the workforce. This became known as the Lancing Belle. Lancing was visited by Oscar Wilde in the 1890s when he stayed at nearby Worthing. The working title for his masterpiece The Importance of Being Earnest was Lady Lancing. Wilde's friend and lover, the poet Lord Alfred Douglas lived in nearby Brighton and died while staying at Monk's Farmhouse in Lancing. Lancing was also visited by another poet, Algernon Charles Swinburne, who stayed at The Terrace in the 1880s.

5 What is a Parish Council?

A Parish Council is the third tier of local government – the first tier being West Sussex County Council and the second being Adur District Council.

Lancing Parish Council makes every effort to represent the views of, and provide the best possible services to residents of Lancing, through its own operations and by close liaison and partnership working with the District and County Councils and other representative bodies and agencies in the community.

Parish Councillors

There are sixteen (16) Councillors that sit on the Parish Council, and these are democratically elected on a four year cycle basis. The current Council was elected and formed in May 2008 and is in office until May 2012. Details of the current ward Councillors can be found later in this report.

The sixteen Councillors represent the four electoral wards of Lancing (four for each ward) which are Mash Barn, Manor, Churchill and Widewater.

Committee Structure Full Council 16 Members HR Sub Cttee 4 Members

Planning Advisory Amenities & Finance & General Cttee Environment Cttee Purposes Cttee

7 Members 7 Members 7 Members

The Council has three programme Committees which deal with the varied and extensive activities and issues that are carried out, and affect, residents of Lancing.

The Full Council has all sixteen Councillors represented on it, while the Amenities & Environment, Finance & General Purposes and Planning Advisory Committees have seven Councillors each. The Chair and Vice Chair of the Council are ex-officio members of each programme committee with voting rights. Each Committee meets on a monthly basis (except in the August recess) with the exception of the Planning Advisory Committee which meets twice monthly.

The public can attend any of these meetings and ask questions on any item on the agenda or stay behind after the meeting and ask questions on any areas of Council activity. 6 Agendas and dates of meetings are published five working days before meetings and can be found on the Lancing Parish Council Notice Board at the Parish Hall or by visiting the Lancing Parish Council’s web site www.lancingparishcouncil.gov.uk.

Copies of agendas and minutes are also available for public inspection at the Parish Hall, Lancing during office hours and upon request and are also placed on Council’s web site.

One other Committee exists, which is the Human Resources Sub- Committee, which meets on an adhoc basis as necessary to deal with confidential staffing matters. The dealings of this Committee are held in camera session and minutes are not available for public disclosure. There are four standing Members of the Council who sit on the sub-Committee as well as the Chair and Vice Chair of the Council.

The quorum for all meetings is three.

The Community of Lancing

Lancing covers an area of 3.65 miles² (946.4 hectares) and serves a population of approximately 19000 (Census 2002), 14,680 of whom are on the electoral register. There are approximately 6000 dwellings in the area

The area spans from the lower part of Western Road in the west northwards to Lancing Ring, east to the River Adur with the southern boundary being the English Channel.

What the Parish Council Costs

The Council spent £399,022 last year (2011/12) to carry out its operations and works in the community and generated £155,921 in income from assets and bookings.

This compares with £365,814 expenditure and £141,205 income in 2010/11.

The balance is raised through a precept on the Council Tax, and currently equates to approximately £32.31 per household per year or 62 pence per week. Residents in the neighbouring Parish of Sompting pay slightly more.

In comparison with the Council Tax bill for 2011/12 for a band D property in Adur generally, the difference is only £14.85 (approximately 29 pence per week per household) as some services, normally carried out by Adur District Council in Lancing are undertaken by the Parish Council.

In 2011/12 the Council precept did not rise and remained at £220,000 for the third consecutive year.

7 Community Assets

The Parish Council, on behalf of the community of Lancing, is responsible for, and operates, a large number of assets.

These include:-

 The Parish Hall Complex (incorporating the local Citizens Advice Bureau).  Lancing Beach Green (other than the public toilets).  Monks Recreation Ground (other than the public toilets).  Croshaw Recreation Ground.  East Lancing Recreation Ground.  259 Beach Hut Sites (but not the huts).  2 Public Car Parks at Beach Green and Widewater.  Widewater Local Nature Reserve.  2 Beach Kiosks at Beach Green and Widewater.  Allotments at East Lancing.  4 Children’s Playgrounds (all located within the above Recreation Grounds).  Play Wall, Youth Shelter and Basketball Facility at Croshaw Recreation Ground.  A Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) at East Lancing Recreation Ground  Works Depot.  4 Adult and 2 Junior Football pitches.  2 pocket gardens (Headborough & Wencling).

19 9. CHAIRMAN’S ANNUAL REPORT MAY 2011– MAY 2012

This has been a very busy year for the Parish Council.

The Carnival procession in June 2011 was the best so far. Unfortunately however, the wind on Beach Green was so strong that most of the stall holders took one look at the weather and went home, which was a real shame but understandable in the circumstances. The bad weather also meant that the annual Blessing of the Boats ceremony had to be held in St. Michaels’ Church for the first time in many years.

We held a hanging basket competition with a number of worthy entrants and once again held a Christmas Art exhibition in the Parish Hall. Two pictures by the children of the Globe Primary School were selected by the public and appeared in the Parish Christmas card, the theme being peace on earth.

Two new pieces of equipment were added to the playground on Beach Green and when it was reported in the press that I would have also liked a Birds Nest swing but funds would not allow, I was contacted by the Lancing Lions organisation who very generously offered to match fund the cost and I am pleased to say that the children will be getting their new swing soon.

In July we were given the sad news that Councillor Norman Wright had died. Norman had served the Council for a number of years and was extremely well thought of and many of us attended his funeral at Worthing Crematorium.

Norman’s place on the Parish Council was taken by James Butcher, who was co- opted onto the Council and at aged 19 James is our youngest ever Councillor. James is already coming up with good ideas, such as the Community Awards scheme, and we believe he will be a valuable addition to the Council and local community in the years ahead.

During the year I attended several concerts and plays by students of the Sir Robert Woodard Academy, as well as their annual prize giving. It is always a pleasure to go to their concerts, which are always excellent.

October saw the opening of the Parkour Project on Monks recreation ground. The project was managed by Adur District Council and part funded with Viridor in partnership with the District and Parish Councils. This has proven to be a very worthwhile activity for our young people.

October also saw the introduction of the new Localism Bill, which could prove to be an important tidal shift in the way that Parish Councils are able to respond to the needs of the community they serve.

The annual Christmas market was held on the 3rd December, which was the first time it was held in daylight hours and on a Saturday. This was designed so that local traders would benefit from the increased footfall and proved to very successful and worthy of future consideration. 20 The Parish Council, in partnership with Adur Voluntary Services, has organised a short term lease for a previously empty shop in the Village centre. This will provide a "front line" information centre for a number of agencies and groups and will be open soon.

In January this year, the Parish Council had the first of several meetings with Adur District Council to discuss the Regeneration of Lancing Village. Many people felt that Lancing was becoming stale and neglected and Professional Town Planners, BDP, were appointed to come up with ideas. As a result, an exhibition of these ideas, called Lancing Vision, took place in the Parish Hall for the public to see and comment on. The plans look fantastic and have been well received and it will be great to achieve them over time. This is really exciting for us all and once the scheme is agreed funding applications can be made in earnest.

The local traders are also keen on Regeneration and have succeeded in securing £15,000 from the Adur Pot of Gold award scheme for a sensory garden in South Street. There is also a current bid registered for a Mary Portas Town Team Award and a video is posted on YouTube. The results of the awards should be known later this month.

In March I attended the 50th Anniversary of TS Intrepid, nautical training corps, where I presented a couple of prizes, along with Brian Boggis, Chair of Adur Council. The band always plays at our Carnival procession and comprises really great young people.

This is the last report in my role as the current Chair of Lancing Parish Council. When I first became Chair four years ago it was very much a case of ‘stepping into the breech’. Since that time however I have enjoyed the role immensely and it is after all working for and in the community, and I hope that I have made a difference.

In the past four years the Parish Council has a long list of impressive achievements of which we are all very proud of. I have been greatly assisted by our Clerk, Colin Hunt and his excellent team and not forgetting the help of my Vice Chair, Councillor Fred Lewis, who still stops me from spending too much money!

Our next big community events on the near horizon are the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations and the Olympic Torch relay which is coming through Lancing on 16th July and right past the Parish Hall. More exciting times ahead!
