Apologies: Mr. Moffatt In attendance: Steve Johnson (Area Highways Manager), Martin Downy (Highways & Transport), Rick West and Robin Davison (Democratic Services), Adrian Murphy (Deputy Divisional Commander) West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, Andrew Moreman (Youth Service). Chairman’s Welcome 100. The Chairman welcomed those present to the meeting. Declarations of Interest 101. In accordance with the Code of Conduct the following members declared interests in items on the agenda: Lt Col Pemberton declared a personal interest in minute number 96/2006 as a member of Cowdray Polo Club. Minutes 102. Resolved – That the minutes of the meeting held on 28th November 2006 be agreed as a correct record and signed by the Chairman subject to the deletion of the last bullet point at minute no. 86. 103. Further to minute 97, second bullet point, Mr Johnson confirmed that new procedures were in place to deal with the problems with complaints handling. He commented that unfortunately there was no capacity within the Area Office to cover for annual leave or sick leave. Urgent Matters 104. There were no urgent matters. Youth Opportunities Fund 105. Andrew Moreman, Team Leader, West Sussex Youth Service introduced Andrew Griffin and Alex Sprinks, two members of the Midhurst and Petworth Locality Forum. 106. Alex and Andrew informed the meeting that the Forum had been established so that the young people in the area could decide what they wanted their share of the Youth Opportunities Capital Fund from central Government (Department for Education and Skills) to be spent on. Groups of young people had to put forward bids to the Forum. For 2006/07, the Forum had approved grants from: After School Cricket Club £1234 (new cricket mats and equipment) Ski trip T shirts £ 675 (for group identity on the trip) XL Project £2800 (for children at risk of exclusion) Midhurst Youth Club £445 (for lighting and music equipment) Lurgashall Youth Club £495 (establishing a new youth club) Sylvia Beaufoy Youth Centre £3500 (after school/homework club) N Downs Youth £10,300 (new minibus) 107. Alex reported that the decision to fund the new minibus had been taken because the existing bus services, such as ‘Doris’ did not operate at times when the young people wanted to use them, particularly in the evening and the existing minibus was beyond repair. Before the Forum made their decisions, the members had received training on how to deal with applications and decision-making. 108. Mr Moreman commented that the funding for the area from 1st April 2007 was not yet known but he anticipated that the figure would be similar to this year’s funding. The Forum started in September 2006 and young people from 13-19 were eligible to sit on it. Currently there were seven young people on the Forum drawn from local schools and youth clubs. 109. In response to a question about joint working between the County Council and Chichester District Council, Mr Moreman stressed that the Midhurst Youth Wing was open to all 13-19 year olds and was advertised. This did not mean, however, that all young people chose to attend and so outreach workers were provided in partnership with District colleagues to work in the surrounding villages. He said that they worked very closely with the District Council’s Community Engagement Team in 10 different locations across the North Downs area. 110. A group of young people asked about the possibility of applying for funding for a skateboard park and Mr Moreman advised them that at least three 13 – 19 year olds had to apply as a group and a responsible body had to be available to handle the funds. A responsible body could be the Youth Service or a parish council, a registered charity or a company with a bank account that was prepared to hold the funds for the group. They would need to identify how the project would help the community. The group would also need to report back to the Locality Forum at a later date about their project. Mr Moreman agreed to talk to the group outside the meeting about how to progress their ideas. 111. The Chairman thanked Andrew, Alex and Mr Moreman for the presentation. Community Voices 112. Off street car parking, Midhurst - Mr Shaxson, Chichester District Council, asked why the Committee was not considering a decision on the car parking charges in Midhurst. Lt Col Pemberton commented that as the Committee was inquorate due to the absence of Mr Moffat, he had agreed to take the decision. Mr Shaxson informed the meeting that the District Council’s Executive Board would be considering a proposal to defer the introduction of car parking charges due to Sussex Police withdrawal of a traffic warden from the area. 113. A272 - Mr Moss of Rogate asked why the County Council classed the A272 as a primary route when the Hampshire County Council classed it as an ‘A’ road? He said that the continued increases in traffic volumes were causing a problem for the village, as it straddled the A272. HGVs were a particular problem and he was also concerned that the bridges were strong enough and vibration caused by HGVs was also a problem. 114. Mr Johnson replied that traffic volumes continued to grow at three percent per year but he did not believe down-grading the route would make any difference as the A27 had its own problems and there was no other suitable East – West route across West Sussex, unlike in Hampshire. Furthermore it would still appear on maps and satellite navigation systems as the most suitable alternative to the A27 even if it were down graded. Following a study of the A272 from Petersfield to Haywards Heath, road safety measures would be implemented at various sections during 2007/08. Mr Johnson also confirmed that all bridges in West Sussex could take the weight of 44 tonne lorries. Trotton Bridge in particular could take far higher loads due to its design. 115. Lt. Col Pemberton informed the meeting that the status of the A272 had been reviewed just over two years ago. The lack of improvement to the A27 was having an impact on the other routes in the County. 116. A285 Graffham Junction, Traffic Regulation Order - In response to a question about the traffic order for the A285 at Graffham Junction (minutes 85-88/2006 refer) Mr Johnson commented that there had been one objection to the proposal. Mr Johnson was hopeful that the objection would be withdrawn so that the order could be sealed. If the objection were not withdrawn the order would need to be determined by the Committee at a future meeting. 117. A member of the public asked about the cost of removing HGVs that became stuck in Petworth and Mr Johnson informed the meeting that the County Council was not involved in dealing with such problems and it was a matter for Sussex Police. 118. Petworth Lorry Ban - Mr Johnson informed the Committee of the work that had been undertaken by Atkins Ltd into a feasibility study to tackle the problems of HGV movements through Petworth Town Centre. Phase 1 of the study would provide recommendations for each entry point into Petworth and Phase 2 would provide preliminary designs. 119. A steering group had been formed to consider the proposals and was chaired by Lt Col Pemberton Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport. The membership had been drawn from local County, District and Parish councillors, Petworth Enterprise Partnership, representatives of the emergency services, bus operators and officers of the County Council. 120. Mr Johnson reported that four locations had been investigated and an initial assessment produced for each one as follows: Location Proposal Additional work 1. Junction of A272 Physical barrier in form Enhanced signing on Midhurst Rd & A283 of a rising bollard, current HGV route Station Rd, N of mini signing and construction plus Vehicle Activated roundabout work to restrict N bound Sign to warn N bound non-authorised HGVs HGV travelling on A285 Station Road 2. Junction of A272 Physical barrier in form North Street and A272 of a rising bollard, Horsham Road, S of signing and construction mini roundabout work to restrict S bound non-authorised HGVs 3. Junction of Kingspit Construction of either a Speed limit may need Lane & A283 Angel mini roundabout or amendment. Street alterations to change priority. 4. Junction of Construction of a mini Speed limit may need Haslingbourne Lane & roundabout once works amendment. A285 Station Rd. completed at Location 3 121. The Steering Group would receive the Consultants report at the end of March 2007 and would then consider how the scheme should progress. 122. Lt Col Pemberton commented that there were problems with satellite navigation systems and he had written to the European Union (EU) asking it to consider the matter as a road safety issue. The Ordnance Survey would include the restrictions on future mapping and it would also sell the maps to satellite navigation makers. However, unless such systems automatically updated there would still be a problem with out of date information. In response to a question about provision of signage in various European languages, Lt Col Pemberton reported that the County Council was also involved with the EU in developing harmonised pictorial road signs to overcome the language problems. 123. An Advisory Traffic Route Map would be provided on the County Council’s website. 124. Polo Lorries in Ambersham and Selham - The meeting acknowledged the considerable effort that had been put in to finding a satisfactory solution for Petworth.

  • [2020] ECC Chi 1 13 February 2020
    Neutral Citation Number: [2020] ECC Chi 1 13 February 2020 In the Consistory Court of the Diocese of Chichester No 1120 In the matter of St Mary, Chithurst And in the matter of the petition of (1) Neil Ryder and (2) Darren Stiles on behalf of Trotton with Chithurst Parish Council Judgment 1. This is at heart a straightforward petition: some may consider it trivial. It concerns a proposal to fell an ash tree. However experience suggests that such proposals can generate strong local feeling as was the case following the delivery of the Court’s judgment in Re St Peter, West Blatchington [2019] ECC Chi 4, which attracted some attention in the local and national press. 2. The petition is dated 26 January 2020 and was received in the registry on 28 January 2020. The petitioners are (1) Mr Neil Ryder and (2) Mr Darren Stiles, who are, respectively the clerk to, and chairman of, Trotton with Chithurst Parish Council. It appears to be common ground that the churchyard of St Mary’s church, Chithurst was closed by Order in Council on 8 August 1901 and that responsibility for its care and maintenance was subsequently passed by the Parochial Church Council (ecclesiastical) to the Parish Council (civil) pursuant to the statutory forerunner of section 215 of the Local Government Act 1972. I have been provided with a copy of the Order in Council but not of the notice of transfer but there seems to be no dispute as to its existence and effect. 3. The first petitioner has raised a number of matters in his written representations to the Court which have required a lengthier judgment than might otherwise have been the case.

  • 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.

  • Annex SCHEMES to BE PROGRESSED IF DEVELOPER FUNDING IS SECURED
    Annex SCHEMES TO BE PROGRESSED IF DEVELOPER FUNDING IS SECURED March 2009 Background This document is called “Schemes to be progressed if developer funding is secured” and is also known as the “Blue Book”. In line with latest national guidance (see below), County and District Councils have developed a structured approach to the identification of transport needs related to development proposals. This aims, in particular, to improve the link between meeting the needs of development and the aims of the Local Transport Plan. The County Council’s Works Programme and Forward Programme are produced annually to list the highways and transport schemes to be progressed with the funds available. This year, the Forward Programme has been extended to include schemes that have been identified, in liaison with the Local Planning Authorities, as meeting LTP objectives but that cannot be progressed within available funding. Developer contributions will be sought towards these schemes, where they are seen to meet the needs of development proposals. This extended Forward Programme has been subject to consultation and will be supported by District Councils and used to assist the development control process. The programme will be updated each year and it is intended to engage wider community interests in developing and updating the programme in future years. Planning Context Planning Policy Guidance Note 13 : Transport requires authorities to demonstrate a linkage between land use planning and transport policies and objectives. PPG13 recognises that: • Local Transport Plans have a central role in co-ordinating and improving local transport provision and should relate to measures which form part of the local approach to the integration of planning and transport.

    GHE FA~NMAMIAN. .~~ ~- ~. - ~ - - Vol. xxv., No. 3. December, 1938. ~ ~ ~ ~~ . - Editorial Notes. It was with profound regret that the news was receiyed of the death of Mr. J. M. Aylwin at the beginning of the term. He was a pupil at the School from 1865 to 1869, and was in fact the oldest member of the O.F.A. Few can claim to have had such close ties, and for so long, with the School as he, for the name of Aylwin has been perpetuated in the persons of son and grandson; we rejoice, in fact, that Mr. G. M. Aylwin is now numbered among our Governors. Rightly, then, do we malic special mention of the passing from active membership of this stalwart Farnhamian, and pay a tribute of honour to his memory. *: * * * * We have passed through two crises this term. Tlie first, the threat of war, was faced with calm and steadiness in common with the rest of the country, and no other comment would be suitable in these notes. The second was our own private property, a full inspection by the Board of Education, in which every detail of school life was reviewed by experts. This too we faced calmly, and we believe that we can say (with all modesty) that we came through with credit. .J, 4, * * * -m -0 Congratulations to T. R. Alston on being awarded a State Scholarship on the strength of the Higher School Examination of last term. It will be remembered that he had already won, in special examination, a Hampshire County Scholarship. Well done! We hope to give from time to time news of his successes at Oxford, where he is an undergraduate at Merton College.
