  • Piddinghoe, East Sussex June 2019
    The Villager Piddinghoe, East Sussex June 2019 The Villager • June 2019 • Issue 137 EDITORIAL Half the year over and done with. First half was spent, seemingly, living out the plot of ‘Le Hoe de Piding’. Second half, we predict, will be more of the same (but much worse) and satire will become no laughing matter. Into our midst (thank god, 60 miles away) came the leader of the Free World. Her Majesty, unfortunately for her, was held prisoner and in a matter of a couple of days earned every penny of her annual stipend given her by a grateful nation. The highlight was the photo of the Downing Street cat, Larry, sitting under Mr President’s car – The Beast – treating it as nothing more than a handy place to keep its fur dry while it rained. The cat had put the car in its place. The Beast?.... so what! No beasts around here, apart from a young weasel seen enthusiastically exploring the south end of the village. This is the kind of thing that Angie would write about in her ‘Grass Roots’ articles but Angie is on holiday. Also missing is ‘Art Jottings’ because Gill is very involved with her new puppy. Welcome to Piddinghoe, Alfie! Both Angie and Gill will return. ’Piddinghoe People’ appears in a slightly different format to focus on Guylee Simmonds, who is packing into the next few months more than most of us would dare do in a lifetime. Guylee’s idea of a cruise is not what one sees in the newspaper supplements. We wish him well, and above all, a safe journey.

  • Newhaven Town Council Annual Report 2009-2010
    Picture courtesy of the Sussex Express Newhaven Town Council Annual Report 2009-2010 Introduction by the Town Mayor Councillor Carla Butler It was a great honour to be chosen as the 26 th Mayor of Newhaven and it has been a year that I will never forget. My main objective during my term was to support the young people of the town who often get a bad press. One way I wanted to achieve this was by the introduction of a “Young Mayor”. In July Daly Tucknott was elected as Young Mayor and Chloe Leister as deputy. Although at times we learnt how the project would work as we went along it has been very successful and there has been a lot of positive feedback from the public and other authorities along the way. I would like to thank both Daly and Chloe for their support and especially Daly for accompanying me at so many events throughout the year. I was particularly pleased that it was agreed Daly could join me in the line up to meet Her Royal Highness Princess Anne when she visited Tideway School. This had the effect of showing to other people the importance of the role. It also proved that young people can learn that they can make a difference and contribution before they can even vote and they are still able to influence decisions which are made. I have been able to support many fundraising objectives of different groups in the town. Most surprising for me was whilst helping raise funds for the local branch of Mencap, I found out that they receive no funds from Mencap itself and rely totally on volunteers and their own fundraising.

  • A Brief History of the Egrets Way Project
    A Brief History of the Egrets Way Project The people who initiated the Egrets Way Project in 2011 were not the first group of local residents to join forces to identify a safe cycling route which would connect Newhaven, Lewes and the villages in between. In 2004, an earlier attempt by members of the POLO (Parishes of the Lower Ouse) group to create a ‘Greenway’ running alongside the C7 Lewes to Newhaven Road had foundered when no achievable route could be identified. However, in Autumn, 2011, three significant events occurred which encouraged members of those same communities to try again: • the Environment Agency announced its intention to maintain the flood defences of the river in the Lower Ouse valley, • the Government announced substantial funding for sustainable transport plans, and • the South Downs National Park (SDNP), created in 2010, came into operation. Following public meetings, held for the purpose of measuring support for the project, a constitution was adopted, a Steering Committee was created, officers were elected, and the project known as the Ouse Valley Cycle Network (OVCN) came into being. A great deal of work then began to identify a route, locate relevant landowners and meet with representatives of organisations with shared interests as well as engaging with the public through parish council meetings and attendance at local events. By the end of the year, the group had joined forces with a working party from the Kingston Road and Cranedown Residents Association and the Kingston Action Group which had long been exploring the possibility of creating an off-road cycleway connecting Kingston and Lewes.
