Chichester District Council Ward Boundary Consultation Response Chichester District Council Ward Boundary Consultation Response by Harting Parish Council To whom it concerns This issue was on the agenda of the meeting of Harting Parish Council that took place on 15th September 2016, and it was agreed that the Council should support the inclusion of Elsted and Treyford Parish in the proposed Harting Ward for the 2019 election. The post 2019 Harting ward is at present proposed by the LGBCE to consist of the parishes of Harting, Rogate, and Trotton with Chithurst parishes. We support the inclusion of Elsted and Treyford Parish for the following reasons: ‐ 1) Ever since the Local Government Act 1972 created Chichester District Council Harting Parish has been combined with Elsted and Treyford Parish. Consequently, the Communities of both parishes have benefitted from that symbiotic relationship, which has provided effective and convenient local government. 2) The two village schools serving both Harting, and Elsted and Treyford, were closed in the 1980s, and a new joint school opened to benefit the children of both parishes. Both parishes are consequently in the catchment area of that school. 3) Harting Parish and the parish of Elsted Treyford cum Didling are a United Benefice, sharing the same rector. For reasons of identity and community cohesion it would be nonsensical to split the United Benefice in the way the LGBCE currently propose. 4) Elsted and Treyford residents not only use the community shop / post office located in South Harting village, but an appreciable number of them, along with Harting residents, are shareholders in it. The building is owned by the shareholders. It is vital that nothing impedes the use of such Community enterprises; the addition of Elsted and Treyford to Midhurst ward would not help this enterprise. 5) Various Harting organisations benefit from both the membership and active involvement of Elsted and Treyford residents. Similar to the use of the village shop, whilst it might be difficult to foresee what the impact might be of transferring Elsted and Treyford Parish to a two member Midhurst ward, it cannot be of any benefit to the present close ties. 6) Although the inclusion of Elsted and Treyford parish into Harting ward would create a ward with a projected electorate slightly greater than the plus 10% variable that the LGBCE aim for, with the evidence provided by the examples of social identity and cohesion stated above Harting Parish Council request that the LGBCE waive that requirement and include Elsted and Treyford parish within the post‐2019 Harting Ward.

  • South Downs Way Challenge…Virtually Week 3 –Buriton To
    South Downs Way Challenge…Virtually Week 3 –Buriton to Cocking Hill ... 11 miles. Last week our walk took us from Exton to the eastern edge of the QE2 Country Park and Buriton, approx 24 miles from the start. Keep doing your steps in front of the TV, and this week let’s go from march around the block and prepare to walk from Buriton to Cocking Hill. We start uphill initially, along a small lane that then follows the undulating line of the escarpment overlooking Harting to the north. We've walked five miles to Harting Hill and from here we descend the grassy slope into the valley and then the footpath climbs steeply up to the fort at Beacon Hill. The fort was first built in the Bronze Age (8th Century BC to 6th Century BC), and updated during the Iron Age. Alternatively, following the bridlepath, we can traverse the hill, climbing more gently but eventually reaching the other side just beneath the summit of Beacon Hill. A slight incline then, the only way is down, sweeping into another timeless valley, then steeply up a chalky track through the trees. As you near the top of Philliswood Down look out for the memorial to a German pilot who was shot down and died here, on the very first day of the Battle of Britain on 13 August 1940. Just beyond and a sharp left turn takes us past the The Devil's Jumps, the best example of a Bronze Age barrow formation in Sussex. According to Wikipedia, “The Devil's Jumps are a group of five large bell barrows situated on the South Downs 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) south-east of Treyford in the county of West Sussex in southern England.

  • 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.

  • 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.
