Heathfield and Waldron Parish Council

News from Heathfield and Waldron Parish Council

Avery warm welcome to our end of year update. We as a Parish council are aware that this has been a difficult year for many, with unprecedently high utility and fuel prices, which in turn has had a massive bearing on any remaining disposable income.

With that in mind we have kept our precept as low as possible. Our share of your council tax has been ploughed back into improving your Parish for all to enjoy

So, what have we achieved?

We have upgraded some of the playground equipment at Waldron and Hardy Roberts play areas. Provided two new benches in Heathfield. Replaced old, damaged wiring in part of the High Street to enable the Christmas lights to work fully. Purchased a microphone system for use at the Community centre which will assist people with hearing loss at Council public meetings. We worked with Heathfield Bonfire Society to bring about a successful D Day event back in May, we have been a consultee on 132 planning applications and held 19 planning meetings. Pledged £10,000 to the new Youth hub to purchase equipment when it opens. Given away £8,530 in grants to local groups or charities plus additional grant money to our annual charities such as The Millennium Green, Wealden Works, Heathfield Partnership, Citizens Advice, Darch’s Wood. As I write this, our Street furniture is also being painted, smartening up our town.

We are putting The Environment to the forefront on everything that we do, and we are currently considering the way forward with our plan. All of this is in addition to our regular meetings and responsibilities.

I am extremely proud of our council and our achievements, both staff and councillors work extremely hard for our Parish, however we couldn’t do it without you. In 2025 we will be sending out a public questionnaire, we want to know what is important to you, want do you want us to spend money on, what improvements do you want in our area? These answers will shape our new strategic plan for 2026-29.

In the meantime, we at HWPC would like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

GARDENING DIARY

‘ When dark December glooms the day and takes our Autumn joys away’ Sir Walter Scott.

Well not a bit of it, these may be the sentiments of a gloomy Scot, mired in his arctic gloom, but we take heart from the month in which the sun is reborn and, though the worst rigors of winter are still ahead of us, there is the promise of rebirth ahead, once celebrated in the Roman saturnalia and the Germanic yuletide hunts, now personified by a girthful and jolly chap in a chimney.

As in November, the weather this month is rarely an incentive to be out there upside down in a border, but the garden is a relentless tyrant, which may only be tamed by seizing every chance to press on.

The edges of lawns may have been eroded away or died back from being smothered by overgrowth from the borders, lying leaves, or the depredations of children. The easiest way to make the edges good is to roll a length of turf along the edge and cut around it with a sharp knife, then roll it up, the outlined shape may now be excavated to an inch depth, the base broken down to a tilth and the new turf rolled back into place, a board to stand on will help bed the turf down, expelling any air; there should be no air pockets, especially under the edges.

New plantings should be checked from time to time as frost or wind may have loosened the roots, and loose plantings rarely survive; we must always have our mallet about our person to firm up any loose stakes.

Any brassicas in the vegetable plot should likewise be checked for firm footing; brassicas greatly resent any looseness around their feet.

Frost and gales in November will have seen to the last of the roses, thus we may reduce the top growth back a little and remove frosted flowers and hips, this will reduce wind resistance and present a more orderly appearance in the rose garden. This is not the main pruning, which may be done at the end of winter (Though many gardeners do this before Christmas).

GARDENING DIARY

The harvesting of brussels sprouts should be in full swing, starting from the bottom up and leaving the green tops until last. In the event of an ‘arctic blast ‘ being forecast, it may be worthwhile digging up some leeks and parsnips and heeling them into a trench so as to avoid having to harvest by hammer and bolster.

Sometime between Alamein Day and the ides of the month we may beg, borrow or otherwise purloin a number of twigs from some of the more forward of the trees and shrubs, including yellow flowering jasmine, willow, winter flowering viburnums, berberis, hawthorn, witch hazel and contorted hazel, these, when brought into a warm room and put in water should be in flower by Christmas, hinting at the rebirth and new life just around the corner. The no-mans’ land behind the bonfire heap may supply teasels, whilst sea thistle and artichoke heads saved from last month will make for a fine Christmas display when spray-painted by the more responsible of the junior members in the family. The dried seed pods of honesty make a fine sight shivering in a vase on the piano.

Whilst the keen gardener will have been digging over the soil since Battle of Britain Day, it is not too late to keep up the digging when conditions allow. The more soil we can get exposed to the weather the better. Areas reserved for hardy annuals should be dug over as well, but unless the soil is very poor there is no need to dig in compost or manure as annuals flower best on poorer soil.

Now most of the leaves have dropped, we may appreciate nature’s architecture in the boughs and burls of the trees around us whilst also taking worried note of deciduous trees and shrubs that are starting to crowd over the lawns and borders, this encroachment eventually leads to a thin, mossy lawn and straggling shrubs straining for the dwindling light, in such cases we must be ruthless with the chain saw and loppers; Nature is constantly trying to crowd us out, thus in the time of the Egg kings the quality of a Saxon was measured by his willingness to strip to his badger pelt underwear in all weathers, and with halberd in hand, wage unceasing battle on the forest around him.

NEWS FROM NUS GHANI

Remembrance brings us together in recognition of all who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our country, defending the freedoms and values of our great nation and protecting our way of life.

The annual act of remembrance on Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday binds us and the rest of the nation together in a sobering moment of reflection. As I join our communities every year on Remembrance Sunday to pay respects to our Armed Forces past and present, it is always an honour to stand with local veterans and meet those who serve our country at home or abroad today. I will also plant a remembrance cross in the Remembrance Garden at the Houses of Parliament, to represent the many fallen men and women from our constituency of Sussex Weald.

Our British Armed Forces are the ultimate defenders of our security and freedom. They are respected the world over and we depend on them to keep us safe at home and abroad. It is important that we also support our current military personnel, and I will continue to campaign for the recognition, care, and post-service security that they deserve.

This year, we will also continue thinking of our friends and allies in Ukraine and the brave soldiers as they continue to defend their country’s sovereignty against Russian aggression and fight for freedom. But while Putin’s illegal war continues, the rebuilding work is already underway. As Minister of State at the Department of Business and Trade and Minister for Europe at the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, I oversaw the UK’s role in Ukraine reconstruction, co-chaired the UK-Ukraine Infrastructure Taskforce and hosted the Ukraine Recovery Conference, which brought together thousands of representatives from public and private sectors to commit support to Ukraine’s recovery and accelerate restoring its key services.

I continue supporting Ukrainian families living in Sussex Weald, but I know from my many meetings and correspondence with them that what they want most is to return home safely and reunite with their loved ones. The UK’s support for Ukraine must remain steadfast so that our efforts to help with the rebuilding of Ukraine will enable them to do just that.

Trudi - Mothering Mojo

I’ve recently had a client come to me with a tricky issue. She is pregnant with her first baby and beyond excited about motherhood. Understandably she wants to do everything right and enjoy the experience. Hence why she has employed the best doula in town (that’s me, by the way!). We have booked in our antenatal session and I plan to be with her and her partner during the birth and for the first 3-6 months. Helping them learn to become parents.

Her issue is that she has told family she would like no visitors for the first 2 weeks at least. And it’s landed like she’s told them they are all banned from her life forever. She’s understandably upset and doesn’t quite know how to navigate between what she wants to do and what her family expects of her, when the new baby arrives.

I’ve written an article before on what family and friends can bring new parents, but here’s a few tips for the new parents themselves on how to get the ‘babymoon’ they deserve.

The first thing is to recognise that YOU are the most important person here. Your baby, your partner and you have every right to postnatal however you like. Boundaries can be set up with compassion. And it’s up to everyone else to honour them. It is a great parenting skill to learn as early as possible!

People want to be involved and are excited. And there is an excellent middle ground here that can be established. An American client of mine recently told me about something called a ‘Mealtrain’. You send around a document of dates and, if family and friends want to support you, they pick a date and a meal and bring that round when the time comes. The idea is that they drop the meal, take a peak at the baby and go.

I know some of us wince at the idea of a baby shower, but what a great way to get everyone together BEFORE the baby is born. If they only saw you last week they might feel better about leaving it a few weeks before coming again.

My favourite doula trick for the more persistent of visitors though, is to get the mum in to bed with her baby. No one feels comfortable hanging out in someone else’s private space. Furthermore, research shows mums and babies both benefit from skin-to-skin time together for weeks and so it’s science-approved!

OH COME ALL YE FAITHFUL,

JOYFUL AND TRIUMPHANT

The holidays aren’t always what the hallmark movies represent and often behind closed doors it’s a very different story. We grow up believing in fairy tales, and other myths and legends that keep dreams, family and society traditions alive. The holidays arrive when many are suffering from seasonal sadness and an increase in fatigue and feelings of exhaustion. Holiday trauma is a real thing and for some can bring up old trauma wounds, as the festive traditions, rituals, scents, grandmas gravy and the memorable Christmas tree decorations reappear. It can often feel overwhelming and be painful reminders of traumatic events or people. Despite its challenges Christmas can be made easier for everyone when we take time to understand the impact of trauma on enjoying the holidays.

For some these traumatic memories might still be subconscious, trauma does not always have to be remembered or cognitive. The body keeps score of everything that has happened to us and this is remembered in our nervous system. When the body says no we go into survival mode, but our system always, always gives us a signal to our safety. Be gentle with yourself as you navigate this time of year, let go of the perfect Christmas. It can be a time of love and connection to others but this can be hard to achieve when those around us are not being heard, validated and respected.

Tips for managing your health at Christmas:

• Avoid unhelpful social comparisons

• Have realistic expectations about family gatherings

• Take a break

• Look after yourself

• Participate in your local community

• Don’t look back on past year

• Lean on your support system

• Get outside, connect with Mother Nature

• Get back into a routine

Know that you are not alone YOU are worthy and YOU are loved, those social media posts may not be all they appear to be.

Securing Your Legacy with a Lifetime Trust

Navigating the uncertainties of life can be challenging, but securing the future of your loved ones need not be. With a Lifetime Trust you can enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that your assets have been safeguarded and will benefit your chosen loved ones exactly as you intend.

Many believe that Lifetime Trusts are only for the wealthy, but this is no longer the case with ordinary folk now owning their homes and looking to protect their assets. We have made Lifetime Trusts an affordable and practical solution and made it possible for anyone to secure their family’s future with the same protection and foresight that the wealthy have enjoyed for centuries.

Why choose a Lifetime Trust?

• Avoid the cost and delays of probate: Grant immediate access on your death to some or all of your assets held in trust without the need for probate.

• Control and protection: Claim full control over your assets and shield your family’s inheritance from divorce, creditors, and other predatory challenges.

• Ensure future care of your beneficiaries: Guarantee that the trust capital can assist your loved ones for generations; for example, for education, health care, and first homes.

• Retain more of your wealth: Strategically reduce or even eliminate potential inheritance tax liabilities for yourself and future generations.

Many believe setting up a trust means losing control; however, the reality is quite the opposite. With the right planning, a Lifetime Trust allows you to maintain full control over your assets both during your lifetime and after death. A Lifetime Trust ensures that your wishes regarding your assets are meticulously realised with precision and care.

By setting up a Lifetime Trust you can preserve your legacy, ensuring your intentions are fulfilled not just for the present, but also for future generations.
