News and appeals Witnesses sought after youths assaulted at Horsham Skate Park Police are appealing for witnesses following two linked incidents at Horsham Park skate park. Around 4pm on Monday 1 March, two local boys aged 15 and 16 were assaulted by two other boys. The suspects were with another unknown male and female, and during this confrontation one of the victims had a breeze block thrown at him, causing bruising. Both victims were punched and kicked. Later the same evening, about 6pm, the two victims were with a group of friends and were chased by the same two suspects from the earlier incident. During this, the same 15-year-old victim received a puncture wound to his back and stomach. He required hospital attention but was released shortly afterwards. This second encounter took place near to the under pass heading to New Street. Police enquiries led to the arrest of a 17-year-old boy from Worthing on suspicion of affray, possession of cannabis and criminal damage, and a 16-year-old boy from Croydon on suspicion of wounding with intent. Both have been released on conditional bail until 30 March, pending further investigations. Detective Constable Colin Taylor, of the Adur, Worthing and Horsham Investigations Team, said: “We are aware of issues surrounding youth violence in the area, and we are working with partners including the local authority to provide education and enforcement. This includes an increase in high visibility patrols for public reassurance. “We must be clear that this sort of behaviour will not be tolerated, and anyone caught and convicted of offences will be dealt with robustly.” Anyone with any information about either incident is asked to report it online or call 101, quoting serial 1235 of 01/03. You can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or report it online. https://www.sussex.police.uk/news/sussex/news/witness-appeals/witnesses- sought-after-youths-assaulted-at-horsham-skate-park2/ 2 Driver, 56, seriously injured in A29 collision Police are appealing for witnesses after driver was seriously injured in a crash on the A29 Stane Street, Slinfold.

    UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES The significance of the place-name element *funta in the early middle ages. JILLIAN PATRICIA HAWKINS Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2011 UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The significance of the place-name element *funta in the early middle ages. Jillian Patricia Hawkins The Old English place-name element *funta derives from Late Latin fontāna, “spring”, and is found today in 21 place-names in England. It is one of a small group of such Latin-derived elements, which testify to a strand of linguistic continuity between Roman Britain and early Anglo- Saxon England. *funta has never previously been the subject of this type of detailed study. The continued use of the element indicates that it had a special significance in the interaction, during the fifth and sixth centuries, between speakers of British Latin and speakers of Old English, and this study sets out to assess this significance by examining the composition of each name and the area around each *funta site. Any combined element is always Old English. The distribution of the element is in the central part of the south- east lowland region of England. It does not occur in East Anglia, East Kent, west of Warwickshire or mid-Wiltshire or north of Peterborough. Seven of the places whose names contain the element occur singly, the remaining fourteen appearing to lie in groups. The areas where *funta names occur may also have other pre-English names close by.

  • 57 Years Policing the UK Motorways
    57 Years Policing the UK Motorways On this page we take a look at the history of policing the UK motorway network since the opening of the Preston Bypass in 1958. There are a number of articles written by members of Police Car UK and we hope that you will find this page both informative and interesting! It is quite long, so make yourself a cup of tea and settle down to... 50th Anniversary of Policing the Motorway The Preston Bypass The M6 Experiment Motorway Memories and West Yorkshire Motorways The 50th Anniversary of Policing the Motorway In 2009 we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the opening of the first section of the M1 motorway. OK, before we start there is an argument that the first motorway was opened a year earlier in 1958 and was called the Preston by-pass. However, it wasn’t designated as a motorway (part of the M6) until several years later and so the other side of the coin will argue that the first ‘official’ motorway, the M1 was opened on 2nd November 1959. But the fact remains that from 1958/9 Britain’s motorway network expanded across the country and is now an integral part of our transport system and our everyday lives. And for obvious reasons it needs policing and so we find ourselves here in particular celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Policing the Motorway. Those Police officers who have worked on ‘the strip’ over the years will have an affinity towards it that is hard to describe. It can be an extremely dangerous place to work but it can also be an exhilarating one.
