  • The Charles Bo Cking Collection for The
    The Charles Bo_cking Collection of Wadhurst History DESCRIPTIVE NOTE AND CATALOGUE Compiled by Brian Harwood for the Trustees of the Bocking Collection which is located in the Wadhurst Institute, East Sussex Autumn 1990 DESCRIPTIVE NOTE The late Charlie Bocking collected information, both pictorial and written, on just about every aspect of life i-n Wadhurst and its locality. Everything he found out he sorted into one of three categories: (a) Photographic (b) Literary (c) Notes Category (a), held in sixteen boxes, has become welI known from various public exhibitions of selected items and themes; however, the other two categories have not before now been available to public use. The sequence of Literary items comprises a wi-de variety of written material on all aspects of Wadhurst 1ife, ranging from one-line descriptions to brochures and sma11 booklets. The Notes were Charlie's jottings and research comments covering a wide spectrum of Wadhurst subjects" As he verified and amplified these notes so he transf erred them j-nto the category (b) f iles. Initially, Charlie set up quite a complex cross- referencing system involving photo subjects, places, family names, literary sources and research notes. But, inevitably, as both he grew older and his collection grew greater, it became increasingly difficult for him to keep the reference system in step with the widening complexity of the col-lection. So, where possible, cross-referencing comments have been amended to suit the revised layout, ot deleted where no longer needed. To bring the collection back into coherent order and into a sequence which could be used more easily, the Literary category has been resorted into a simple alphabetical run of the subject headings as allocated by Charlie.

  • Review of Local Speed Limits in the Rural Area
    Appendix 1 PROGRESS REPORT No 1 :- REVIEW OF LOCAL SPEED LIMITS IN RURAL EAST SUSSEX BACKGROUND The revised policy summary for setting local speed limits was approved by the Lead Member for T & E on 25 June 2007. The principal changes relate to the new definition for a village and a Speed Assessment Framework for setting speed limits on rural A and B class roads. The government has set a target that all A and B roads be reviewed by 2011 and any changes implemented by that date. PROGRESS TO DATE 1. REVIEW OF SETTLEMENTS (EXCLUDING VILLAGES WITH A 30MPH SPEED LIMIT OR LOWER) 266 settlements were identified for review and placed in priority order for assessment, based on their latest 3 year casualty record. The casualty record (2004 to 2006 inclusive) showed that 149 settlements had recorded at least one crash in the 3 year period whilst the remainder (117 settlements) had recorded none. ( See Appendix A to this note) All the settlements with a crash record have been assessed against the new definition for a village and those meeting it have had speed measurements taken in order to determine what action is required to support a speed limit of 30mph. { To take the programme forward it was agreed with the Lead Member for T & E that it made good sense to combine the village review with the A and B road review and carry out all the work in one area at the same time. To facilitate this proposed method of working it was agreed to base the work on electoral divisions and those with the highest number of KSIs be treated first.
