    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.

    Elsted and Treyford Parish Council Met Again on 22Nd September to Consider Additional Information Regarding the Boundary Review for Chichester

    Electoral Review of Chichester District To whom in concerns:- Elsted and Treyford Parish Council met again on 22nd September to consider additional information regarding the Boundary Review for Chichester. As a result it wishes to reiterate all the comments contained in the e-mail response to the Commission dated 1st September. The Commission should note that all the adjoining Parishes including Midhurst Town Council and Chichester District Council have objected to the proposed changes and the vast majority of residents support the Parish Councils view to include E&T Parish within the enlarged Harting ward. It would appear that the reason that you haven’t recommended the inclusion of E&T parish in the proposed Harting ward seems to be because if done the variance in the ward electorate would be high It is about 1% larger in terms of the electorate than the preferred upper limit – in the case of Harting ward that is 30 or so too many voters The inclusion of E&T into Midhurst ward would reduce the variable on Harting ward to + 3%, and increase the variable on Midhurst ward to + 8%. Plus 8% is the greatest variable of any ward according to the LGBCE draft proposals. It wouldn’t take much for an increase in the relatively low housing rate of build currently proposed for Midhurst and the parishes within the draft ward that adjoin it to push that figure higher, perhaps more than 2% higher. If that is the case the issue of Harting ward being too large, which nobody hereabouts objects to, could be swapped for a similar one at Midhurst that could cause unknown outcomes.

    Elsted and Treyford, and Harting – Request for Diversion of Parts of Footpaths (Fp) 871, 872 and 873; Creation of New Footpath on Disused Railway

    Agenda Item No. 5 (b) Rights Of Way Committee 12 June 2018 Highways Act 1980 Sections 119 and 25 Elsted and Treyford, and Harting – Request for Diversion of Parts of Footpaths (fp) 871, 872 and 873; Creation of New Footpath on Disused Railway Report by Director for Highways and Transport Executive Summary In December 2017 Orders were made to divert three public footpaths, together with the dedication of two additional paths, at Woodhouse Farm near Elsted following an officer delegated decision by the Principal Rights of Way Officer. A copy of the Decision Report is attached for information (Appendix 1). The Orders attracted two objections and so, in line with the agreed practice when an Order made following officer delegated decision is opposed, the Committee is asked to decide whether the Orders should be submitted for confirmation. This report summarises the points raised by objectors and considers their significance in the context of the legal tests for Public Path Diversion Orders. Conclusion Having reviewed the objections with the applicants’ agent, the officers’ view remains that the legal tests for making and confirmation are met. To enable the Diversion Orders to be progressed they will need to be submitted to the Secretary of State (The Planning Inspectorate) for determination and the Committee’s authority to make the submission is now sought. Recommendation That the Public Path Diversion Orders made in respect of footpaths 871, 872 and 873 in the parishes of Elsted and Treyford and Harting be submitted by the Director of Law and Assurance to the Secretary of State for confirmation.
