  • Of Place-Names in Sussex
    PREPARATORY TO A DICTIONARY OF SUSSEX PLACE-NAMES Richard Coates University of the West of England, Bristol © 2017 First tranche: place-names in A, E, I, O and U 1 Foreword It is now almost 90 years since the publication of Allen Mawer and Frank Stenton’s standard county survey The place-names of Sussex (English Place-Name Society [EPNS] vols 6-7, Cambridge University Press, 1929-30). While I was living and working in Sussex, before 2006, it had long been my intention to produce an updated but scaled- down of this major work to serve as one of the EPNS’s “Popular” series of county dictionaries. Many things have intervened to delay the fulfilment of this aspiration, but it struck me that I could advance the project a little, put a few new ideas into the public domain, and possibly apply a spur to myself, by publishing from time to time an online “fascicle” consisting of analyses of selected major or important names beginning with a particular letter. Here are the first five, dealing with the letters A, E, I, O and U. Readers are invited to send any comments, including suggestions for inclusion or improvement, to me at [email protected]. With that end in mind, the present work consists of an index in electronic form of the names covered by Mawer and Stenton, kindly supplied many years ago, before I was acquainted with the joys of scanning, by Dr Paul Cavill. For some of these names, those which Percy Reaney called “names of primary historical or etymological interest” (interpreted subjectively), I have constructed a dictionary entry consisting of evidence and commentary in the usual way, plus a National Grid reference and a reference to the relevant page-number in Mawer and Stenton (e.g.

Since this appeared I have chanced to read Straker’s introduction to the Buckhurst Terrier (Sussex Record Society 39 (1933) p.xviii) where he says ‘Lord Thomas Buckhurst had a lease of 50 years, from 1571, of Parrock Forge, adjoining St Tye, but in the manor of Parrock.

  • Review of Local Speed Limits in the Rural Area
    Appendix 1 PROGRESS REPORT No 1 :- REVIEW OF LOCAL SPEED LIMITS IN RURAL EAST SUSSEX BACKGROUND The revised policy summary for setting local speed limits was approved by the Lead Member for T & E on 25 June 2007. The principal changes relate to the new definition for a village and a Speed Assessment Framework for setting speed limits on rural A and B class roads. The government has set a target that all A and B roads be reviewed by 2011 and any changes implemented by that date. PROGRESS TO DATE 1. REVIEW OF SETTLEMENTS (EXCLUDING VILLAGES WITH A 30MPH SPEED LIMIT OR LOWER) 266 settlements were identified for review and placed in priority order for assessment, based on their latest 3 year casualty record. The casualty record (2004 to 2006 inclusive) showed that 149 settlements had recorded at least one crash in the 3 year period whilst the remainder (117 settlements) had recorded none. ( See Appendix A to this note) All the settlements with a crash record have been assessed against the new definition for a village and those meeting it have had speed measurements taken in order to determine what action is required to support a speed limit of 30mph. { To take the programme forward it was agreed with the Lead Member for T & E that it made good sense to combine the village review with the A and B road review and carry out all the work in one area at the same time. To facilitate this proposed method of working it was agreed to base the work on electoral divisions and those with the highest number of KSIs be treated first.

  • Council Minutes 29.01.2019
    FRAMFIELD PARISH COUNCIL Minutes of the Meeting of Framfield Parish Council held at the Village Hall, Blackboys, on Tuesday, 29 January 2019 at 7.30pm Present (Councillors): Keith Brandon (Chairman) Danny Gallagher Sam Sharples (Vice Chairman) Tony Hall Peter Friend Noel Mansley Councillors Chris Dowling (ESCC)/Ann Newton (WDC) Two PCSO’s In attendance Ann Newton - Clerk Members of the Public – none. Members of the Press – none. Prior to the commencement of the meeting members of the public and County and District Representatives are invited to address the Parish Council if present. Two PCSO’s were in attendance and they gave the following report: A recruitment campaign is under way to replace the number of Police who left via a redundancy route because it has been realised that the lack of Police presence on the street was a mistake. It is hoped by 2021 that there will be more Police back in place. Each village won’t have its own PCSO but will be combined with other areas – Uckfield for Framfield Parish. They will not enforce parking restrictions but will ticket vehicles that are parked dangerously if passing through. Some success has been had with ‘Pop Up’ Police Stations. Uckfield Police Station is open until 2 pm five days a week. Operation Crackdown or 101 is the place to go for persistent bad parking. Although the meeting felt that the former was ‘toothless’ and 101 time-consuming. Police Property Fund – grants are available for local societies/clubs. Councillor Chris Dowling (ESCC) made the following report: The Council budget setting meeting in February will set the budget at 2.99%.
