  • LIVING with LOCKDOWN a Rainbow Village
    LIVING WITH LOCKDOWN As we head towards a fourth week of lockdown, we are all trying to adjust to a very different world than any of us could have imagined. The aim of the team in the Parish Council Emergency Group is to support the most vulnerable in our community as best we can through our wonderful volunteers. We hope that you have the details of your local volunteer if you need help. However, if you need support you can contact the Emergency Group on 01730 825201. The team at the Parish Council Emergency Group have also been sharing ideas on how to keep our community together when we can’t get together. Living with the lockdown is challenging for us all and can make us feel frustrated, lonely, and maybe even a bit sad. So here are some thoughts on keeping us together but apart: A Rainbow Village The Congregational Church, on Petersfield Road as you leave the village, would like as many young people as possible to paint or draw a rainbow to be displayed in the windows of the porch for all to see as they go by. Please leave pictures on the floor in the porch or take a photo of your picture and email to [email protected]. Let’s fill our village with rainbows from the young and the not so young. Draw or paint a picture and put it in your window. A Community Work of Art Let’s create a community patchwork quilt to serve as a lasting reminder of these Method: unprecedented times.

  • Trotton with Chithurst Parish Council to the LGCBE Draft Recommendations for Chichester District
    “Steps”, Trotton, Nr Petersfield, West Sussex, GU31 5JS Response by Trotton with Chithurst Parish Council to the LGCBE Draft Recommendations for Chichester District Trotton with Chithurst Parish Council considered the draft recommendations at a meeting held on Wednesday 14th. September 2016. We are delighted that the proposal to move Trotton from Harting ward was rejected. However, we continue to have grave concerns regarding the proposal to move Elsted and Treyford Parish from Harting ward to Midhurst ward. Our response to the initial consultation included four points relating directly to Elsted parish, and we would repeat and strengthen these here: 1. Trotton no longer has a school, shop, village green, sports ground, village hall or public house and must rely on its neighbours' facilities. Our population centre (albeit a small one) is situated to the south of our parish, about a mile from the public house at Lower Elsted, which hosts events for Trotton residents each month. The Village hall and sports ground at Elsted give a good view across Trotton and are often used by Trotton residents. Trotton and Elsted Parishes are similar in size and nature and the two Parish councils have recently been exploring options for closer working, including the potential for a Common Parish Council. We have strong links to Elsted, which in turn has strong links with Harting Parish. 2. Like our neighbours in Elsted parish, Trotton also has strong links to its larger neighbour Rogate as the two parishes share a Rector across the four churches which make up the United Benefice. Given the small size and sparse facilities of our parish, we also value our links with Rogate for its school and for allowing us to combine with them for celebrations such as the recent Queen’s birthday.
