Procession of Princesses At 9 a.m. on a misty and cold Saturday morning outside Chichester Cathedral, 135 princesses turned up in an attempt to break the world record for a gathering of princesses. Although the world record wasn't broken everyone was very happy and the princesses paraded from the Cathedral green to the County Hall car park in West Street where they were greeted by an Elsa lookalike from the very popular film ‘Frozen’. Two to 40 year olds who love being dressed up, skipped and twirled in their pretty dresses. A few brave fathers looked very glamorous in their frocks too.

Thanks to colleagues for implementing their protocols for Operation Forth Bridge, following the passing of the Duke of Edinburgh on Friday. I can now confirm more details for local authorities. You will probably have seen that the funeral has been arranged for Saturday 17 April. This means that the official period of mourning will finish on Sunday 18 April at 8am. I hope that the following advice is helpful: • The funeral will be broadcast, including a minute’s silence at 3pm on 17 April. You may wish to encourage your communities to mark this at home. The Palace is giving a strong lead on adhering to guidelines about the public health restrictions to avoid gatherings. • Flags being flown at half-mast should return to full mast at 8am on Sunday 18 April if practicable. If your buildings are not staffed on a Sunday, it is acceptable for this to be done on Monday 19 April instead, as soon as possible in the morning. • It is expected that the Palace’s online book of condolence will be closed at 8am on Sunday 18 April. You are invited to do likewise if you have an online book of condolence, or as soon as practicable on the Monday. Yours sincerely, Charles Gauntlett Chairman’s Office, West Sussex County Council CORONAVIRUS UPDATE National Vaccination Update More than 32 million people in the UK have now had their first dose of a Coronavirus vaccine and more than 7.6 million their second.

Background 2.1 The Selsey Neighbourhood Development Plan relates to the area that was designated by Chichester District Council as a neighbourhood area on 4 December 2012. This area is coterminous with the Selsey Town Council boundary that lies within the Chichester District Council local planning authority area. 2.2 Following the submission of the Selsey Neighbourhood Plan to the Council, the plan was publicised and representations were invited. The publicity period ended on 23 March 2018. 2.3 Mr John Slater was appointed by Chichester District Council, with the consent of Selsey Town Council, to undertake the examination of the Selsey Neighbourhood Development Plan and to prepare a report of the independent examination. 2.4 The examiner’s report concludes that, subject to making modifications recommended by the examiner, the Plan meets the basic conditions set out in the legislation and should proceed to a Neighbourhood Plan referendum.

Local communities now have a greater influence over the way their neighbourhoods are developed, placing community need at its heart, along with co-operation with developers and local authorities. In addition to a number of policy changes, one of the most significant is the way the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) is applied through the involvement of local communities and a presumption in favour of sustainable developments in line with community need. The removal of the regional tier with the abolition of regional spatial strategies (RSS), local planning policy has become essential. Communities defined by parish or geography have been encouraged to develop their own neighbourhood plans, to provide an informed and contextual framework to determine future development, whilst conforming to strategic and local policies. Through the development of neighbourhood plans, it is essential to give the community every opportunity to contribute their thoughts and to comment on any proposed developments.

  • 1998.1358 Full Transcript to the ELECTORS OF
    1998.1358 Full transcript TO THE ELECTORS OF THE HORSHAM OR NORTH-WESTERN DIVISION OF SUSSEX _________________________ GENTLEMEN, I thank you very sincerely and very humbly for returning me to-day for the third time as your Member, and that without a contest. Very humbly I say, for heavy responsibility will rest upon every member of this new Parliament, which will have to deal with questions of the gravest moment, and of the deepest concern tio the future welfare, if not to the very existence of our Empire. The settlement in the immediate future of those countries now or lately in arms against us, to bring to them not only peace but goodwill among men, and to enable our foes to appreciate the true freedom which exists under the British flag is no light undertaking; and the wise application to our Army system of the lessons taught us in that war is another task which may try our system of Parliamentary Government in no common degree. I am glad to know from some of the names which appear on the nomination papers which I handed in to-day that the great constituency which has given me a share in this most honourable but most responsible duty looks far beyond the petty pitfalls of mere party politics; and while not forgetting those domestic questions and local interests which rightly have a claim upon me, I shall make the welfare of our country my chief concern, and seeking to build upon the best and surest foundation, I shall endeavour as your representative to discharge in some measure that debt of gratitude which we owe to our soldiers, our people and our colonies, who in the time of need have rallied to their country’s flag in a manner which has been the admiration of the civilised world, and will be the priceless inheritance of those who come after us.

  • Around and About Wisborough Green
    Around and About Wisborough Green Trail Summary Trail : SUSSTR0032 Activity : Walk Type : Family Author : B-FootLoose Distance : 5.7 miles / 9.1 kms Ascent : 157 feet / 48 metres Location : TQ049260 / RH14 0DF This walk, at a little over 5.5 miles, is best done in the dry summer months as we wander through water meadows and they are...just that! From the village of Wisborough Green we head north east to meet the Wey and Arun Canal and the river Arun. The trail then follows the Wey-South path beside the canal before returning to Wisborough Green from the south. Trail Description • From the pub, take Newpound Lane heading towards the school. Immediately after the school entrance turn right to take you over a stile by a metal gate in to a field and walk up the right hand side up to the next stile. • Cross the stile taking you past the church to a small gate on to a metal road and walk down to the main road. Cross over to a metal bridle path/driveway and stay ahead for 1/2 a mile to Harsfold Farm (TQ052248). • Upon reaching a track, stay ahead and continue, past the farm buildings out on to open land. When the bridle path divides, take the left fork down and through a metal gate to then take you over the River Arun, shortly to reach three gates – on your left, right and across the path. Turn left here over the stile. You are now on the Wey- South Path. • With the disused Wey and Arun Canal on you right, within 0.5 mile you will reach Lordings Floodgate and Bridge.

    BEACH RECHARGE IN SUSSEX & EAST KENT: A PRELIMINARY INVENTORY & OVERVIEW Compiled by R. Williams, edited by C. Moses. Not to be quoted without permission 1 Introduction .......................................................................................................................1 2 Inventory of beach recharge schemes ..............................................................................5 3 Notes and sources ............................................................................................................9 4 Conclusion ......................................................................................................................17 5 References......................................................................................................................21 1 Introduction Sand and shingle are being lost from many beaches in Sussex and Kent as a result of natural coastal processes as well as ill-designed sea defence and coastal protection schemes. To counteract falling beach levels, the Environment Agency and local authorities are increasingly resorting to “topping-up” the beaches with additional sand and shingle. Several terms are currently employed to refer to the artificial provision of extra beach material, but there is disagreement about their precise definition. For the purpose of this report, beach nourishment (or beach replenishment) is defined as the supply of material that has been dredged from the seabed or extracted from inland sand and gravel pits. Beach recycling is defined as the removal
