  • Local Defibrillators Fulking

    Local Defibrillators Fulking

    Local Defibrillators If you are planning a cardiac event then it makes sense (i) to have it in a location that has a defibrillator available, (ii) to have with you a companion who knows exactly where the defibrillator is, and (iii) for that companion to have some idea how to use it. The text, maps, and photos on this webpage are intended to facilitate the first two goals. With regard to the third goal, modern public access defibrillators are designed to be usable without prior instruction (they talk you through the process) but your companion will feel much more confident about saving your life if they have attended one of the many defibrillator and resuscitation courses on offer locally. Contact HART to discover times and locations. Finally, you can encourage your companion to do some relevant reading. Fulking The Fulking defibrillator is in the centre of the village. The red door to the right is the entrance to the green corrugated iron shack that has served as the village hall for the last ninety years. The porch to the left is the entrance to a tiny brick chapel now used as the church bookstore. The defibrillator is in this porch and is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Edburton The Edburton defibrillator is located at Coles Automotive which is at the end of Browns Meadow, a track that begins roughly opposite to Springs Smoked Salmon. It is kept in their reception area and is thus only accessible during garage opening hours. Poynings: The Forge Garage Poynings has two defibrillators.

We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. High hills, views, woodland, villages, pubs In Brief The Devil's Dyke near Brighton is one of the great attractions of the South Downs and families come in their thousands to take a snack and a drink and a stroll. Very few go much further along the Downs as on this walk. The Devil's Dyke pub is not bad, but the very best inns are to be found in the picturesque villages at the foot of the Downs visited on this walk. (To enquire at the Shepherd and Dog in Fulking, ring 01273 857382. For the Royal Oak in Poynings, ring 01273 857389.) This walk has two shorter options. The short walk (9 km=5½ miles) takes a path soon after the Devil's Dyke directly down to the Shepherd and Dog in Fulking. The middle walk (12½ km=7½ miles) takes a short cut to Edburton. Only the full walk gives you some really stunning views west- wards over the Adur valley which you would miss on the shorter walks.

The Neighbourhood Plan will set out the long term vision for the parish up to the period 2031. Once adopted, it will become part of the Development Plan and will be a material consideration in the determination of planning applications.

    Joe Garner Chief Executive Nationwide Building Society Nationwide House Pipers Way Swindon SN38 1NW

    Joe Garner Chief Executive Nationwide Building Society Nationwide House Pipers Way Swindon SN38 1NW 7 February 2021 Dear Mr Garner, We write as community representatives to ask you that you reconsider the ‘body blow’ to the neighbouring communities of Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint from the proposed double closure of the Nationwide branches in April of this year. In each case these are the last remaining bank or building society branch available meaning that local residents’ will no longer be able to pop in to seek advice about making payments, saving for the future or perhaps buying a first home. At a time when trust in financial institutions is at an all-time low, these closures appear to breach at least the substance of the Nationwide ‘branch promise’ made as recently as November 2020 which said that you “would not close branches until at least January 2023 except where there is another in the same town or city”. We would like to understand how this proposal is consistent with that ‘branch promise’, the BBA Protocol, FCA guidelines and the statements in your Annual Report about social purpose, building society and investing in local communities. Whilst we do understand that Nationwide has to think about the interests of its members at a time when there is significant growth in the use of online banking and cashless payments, the organisation also has a responsibility to the communities in which it operates. This is particularly the case at this time of the national COVID-19 pandemic and we consider that you should as a very minimum suspend any closures until after the West Sussex economy has fully re-opened.
