  • Cabinet Member Question Time Report
    Cabinet Cabinet Members’ Reports The following reports from Cabinet Members cover the period from 22nd July 2011. Leader - Ms Louise Goldsmith 1 The Leader gave a welcome speech to the Dementia Showcase Event on 15th September hosted by Sussex Community NHS Trust. The aim of the event was to provide social care and health professionals with new and different ways of supporting people with dementia and hearing about good practice. It was an opportunity for the Leader to talk about the work which the County Council has been involved in and to explain more about Age with Confidence. This is the title for the integrated approach that it is hoped will be used by all partners in the county: to help people plan for and experience old age with dignity and respect, to be able to continue to make a positive contribution and to remain healthy and independent for as long as possible. 2 The Leader has obtained support from the Select Committee Chairmen for Adults’ Services and Children and Young People’s Services for the appointment of lead members from each Select Committee to act as Safeguarding Guardians. The purpose of the role is to act as a member champion, to build stronger, visible links between the members of the Council and all County Council staff and facilitate a more informed focus on safeguarding through the Select Committees’ work. Further details on the role and expectations will be considered by each of the two Select Committees to enable them to make appointments at their formal meetings in November 2011.

  • “Before Defended Walls”: Hill-Forts and Fortified Sites in Northern Eriador in the Second and Third Ages

Tolkien transmit to us through examining them, and possibly others certain records, or extracts from such records, like them, a limited kind of archaeological which survived as preserved in the Shire, in the “fieldwork” can be carried out. These, royal archives in Minas Tirith, or in other places “survivals”, all depict fortified sites in the north­ in Middle-earth. These records constitute our west of Middle-earth in the Third Ages, or, primary written sources for the history of rather, they purport to do so. They all appear to Middle-earth from the First Age to the close of derive from original works of roughly the Third. Archaeology, on the other hand, contemporary date.

  • Surrey and Sussex Judicial Business Group – Consultation on the Future of Listing Youth Cases for Sussex
    Surrey and Sussex Judicial Business Group – Consultation on the future of listing youth cases for Sussex Katy Bourne, Sussex Police & Crime Commissioner, welcomes the opportunity to comment on the future of listing youth cases for Sussex and would like to make the following response in relation to the three questions. Are you in favour of maintaining the current arrangements for youth court locations across Sussex with some amendments to the listing patterns to improve efficiency by reducing frequency of sessions? The Commissioner is supportive of maintaining the current arrangements for youth court locations across Sussex as a short-term measure. Mrs Bourne recognises that, with the exception of the forthcoming courthouse closures at Chichester and Eastbourne, this option preserves local justice by retaining access to youth courts with reasonable travelling distances for the majority of youth casework. This may also be the most appropriate interim option available until video enabled justice can be considered for all cases. However, this approach will require the development of more video locations to enable cases to be heard virtually. In addition, the Commissioner acknowledges that this approach is more compatible for those victims wishing to attend first hearings and sentencing hearings to read out victim personal statements. This remains a better option for defendants, witnesses, representatives and support services too. Are you in favour of Option 2, which proposes youth remand courts to be centralised at Worthing for work from West Sussex and at Hastings Youth Court for work from East Sussex? Mrs Bourne recognises that this option demonstrates clear benefits for court efficiencies in terms of listing and utilisation and would improve specialism through regular practice.
