Electoral Review Panel Mike Coleman Appendix Chairman of the Council County Hall West Street T: 01243 752701 Chichester [email protected] West Sussex www.westsussex.gov.uk PO19 1RQ 2 June 2011 Boundary Commission for England Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to set out West Sussex County Council’s formal response to the current consultation on Parliamentary boundaries. The County Council welcomes the opportunity to comment on the proposals and appreciates that the Commission is having to work to stricter criteria in electorate numbers than before. It welcomes the retention of eight MPs for West Sussex and that there are no proposals for crossing boundaries with neighbouring local authorities. The consultation document sets out proposed changes to six district wards within West Sussex. The County Council recognises that at least three of these are necessary to ensure that Arundel and South Downs, Bognor Regis and Littlehampton and Chichester constituencies comply with the electoral quota. It supports the Commission’s proposals to: • move Plaistow ward from Chichester constituency to Arundel and South Downs constituency • move Barnham ward from Arundel and South Downs constituency to Bognor Regis and Littlehampton constituency. • move Copthorne and Worth ward from Horsham constituency to Crawley constituency. The County Council does not consider that the other three proposed changes are either necessary or are desirable to local electorates. Namely: • Easebourne ward in Chichester constituency should remain unchanged. Easebourne is strongly aligned to Midhurst, which will remain in Chichester constituency and Easebourne should therefore remain in Chichester also. Retaining Easebourne in Chichester constituency will not breach the electoral quota rules and will not adversely affect the shape of either constituency. • Bolney ward in Mid Sussex constituency should remain unchanged. Bolney is part of Mid Sussex district and is naturally considered part of Mid Sussex constituency. Its electorate would consider themselves to be part of Mid Sussex. It is not necessary to move Bolney to comply with the electoral quota, although it is accepted that the shape would be neater if the ward were moved. • Given the two arguments above, it would be necessary to retain Walberton ward in Arundel and South Downs constituency to ensure that it complies with the electoral quota. The County Council accepts that, although the moving of Copthorne and Worth ward will split Worth Parish, this already occurs at District level and is necessary to achieve compliance with the electoral quota. The County Council does not believe that any better solutions can be reached through a more radical reorganisation of constituencies. Finally, the proposed name change of East Worthing and Shoreham to Worthing East and Shoreham as part of a national drive for consistency is supported. Yours faithfully, Mike Coleman Chairman of West Sussex County Council .

Action: IM to email Tim Slaney to enquire about the treatment of parish documents such as Neighbourhood Plans and Design Statements? Post Meeting – this action has been completed.

  • Cowdray Hall, Easebourne, West Sussex
    Mike Boxhall RCST.,FCSTA A 4-Day advanced training seminar in the series “Getting in Touch” will be held at Cowdray Hall, Easebourne, West Sussex 9th – 13 th February 2017 to be called “Presence in Stillness” The purpose of this course is to explore, experientially, the premise that spirituality is not a something that is out there to be acquired by becoming somehow better, but is, in fact, the essence of who we intrinsically are at the heart of our embodied beings. There is nowhere to go, there is nothing to achieve other than becoming more fully present to our natures. This nature is embodied. For it to be anywhere else would be to reduce it to a concept of the intellect. We must experience ourselves not judge ourselves. A major part of this work is to just receive without judgment the truth of who we all are when we are not just being a reaction to our habituations. This receiving in stillness can be considered to be a re-balancing of the feminine and masculine principles, which have become sadly over-weighted in favour of the masculine. In the past Mike has mostly concentrated on working with therapists of one kind or another. More recently, it has become apparent that this is not a work to be reserved for some exclusive club of people but should be offered to anyone who is, perhaps, seeking to expand meaning in life rather than just improve efficiency in an occupation. The main objective is to work with, to explore, to expand where people come from in themselves rather than suggest how they should do whatever it is they may do.

  • Easebourne – the Men and Times Remembered
    West Sussex & the Great War Project www.westsussexpast.org.uk Easebourne – The Men and Times Remembered [Photograph by the author] By Christine Deadman © Christine Deadman and West Sussex County Council 1 West Sussex & the Great War Project www.westsussexpast.org.uk Summary This case study has two themes: 1) To provide an overview of Easebourne and some the people and notable institutions connected with it during the period of the First World War. 2) To provide a narrative about some of the men listed on the war memorial in the churchyard of St Mary, Easebourne; who they were, where they served and where they died. Introduction My interest to research this case study stems from wanting to achieve a better understanding of the local history of the parish and its people and how the First World War might have affected it. The parish has a long history with some notable buildings and people associated with it. Easebourne Parish and Community The parish of Easebourne lies to the north and east of Midhurst from which it is separated by the River Rother. It is a large parish of 4213 acres. It has a long history and amongst it its oldest buildings are the Parish church of St Mary and the remains of the adjoining Priory. The south eastern part of the parish is occupied by the 600 acre Cowdray Park containing what are now the Cowdray Ruins. In its day the house at Cowdray was considered one of the most magnificent in England and was visited by Kings Henry VIII and Edward VI.1 In 1911 the population of the parish was 1641 persons including approximately 90 “inmates” and staff at the Midhurst Union Workhouse.
