There were perfectly good reasons for not attending, given the pandemic, and I am sure that those who were there voted in ways that were for the good of our church family. You will see, from the updated list of those elected and appointed, that we are well-set for the next months and beyond. Congratulations to all those who are serving us. At the meeting I expressed thanks to many people, but I would like to shine a spotlight, here, on David Jones. Being a sole Churchwarden for a considerably-extended period of time was made, by David, to look easy. He was uncomplainingly present at events and services, and organised the 'front of house' with an easy and light touch. His wisdom was invaluable to me, and I admired his ability to cope with several things at the same time. Most happily, David will continue his work as a server, cleaner, etc. I am delighted that Katie Kean and David Bannister have been appointed to succeed David, as Churchwardens. Because of the pandemic, authority to admit Churchwardens to Office has been given to Incumbents. I shall therefore carry out that task at the 11am mass on 25th October. Please hold Katie and David in your prayers.

Page 5 BOXGROVE & HALNAKER TRAFFIC CALMING GROUP UPDATE Boxgrove & Halnaker Traffic Calming Group Boxgrove Parish Council - https://www.boxgrovepc.org/ The Boxgrove Community Highway Scheme implementation is progressing very well. The southern bike & pedestrian access has been completed, as has the crossing point at Priory Close. The parking bays outside the shop have had their final pointing done and are being regularly used. Des and John from Landbuild have completed the hard landscaping works at the Crouch Cross Lane roundabout and some of the signage has been installed. Additionally a new kerb has been installed along the front of Nightingale Cottage and the school. The final phases of their work are the crossing points at the Almshouses and at the North of the village. In early November The Street will be closed for five nights to complete the road surfacing works, lining and signage. Signs have been posted around the village giving more detail. So hopefully by early November
