DEMOLITION
D
DS Demolition Ltd has been appointed, subject to West Sussex County Council’s usual call-in period, to progress the partial
demolition of the County Buildings site in Crawley. Both the magistrates’ court and Centenary House will remain in situ. Demolishing the remaining County Buildings will demonstrate commitment to the wider development of the site and provide a much more attractive proposition for prospective developers. Bob Lanzer, County Council Cabinet Member for Economy, said: “I am pleased to see this site cleared. Many of these buildings have been redundant for a number of years and this demolition is making way for a full site redevelopment which will complement the wider investment for Crawley town centre.” Demolition will commence early in the New Year.

CRAWLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL
LOCAL PLAN CONSULTATION
C
rawley Borough Council is launching the next stage of consultation on its Local Plan. The six-week consultation, which began in early January, is for residents, businesses and other interested stakeholders to make formal representations on any policy or allocation in the Local Plan. If you previously submitted a response to the Regulation 19 consultation, carried out between January and March 2020, you do not have to resubmit your response. However, new responses on the changes which have been made to the Local Plan subsequently or the new updated evidence documents are welcomed. Responses from the previous consultation will be submitted along with responses received in this consultation. Please let us know in writing if you are responding to withdraw your previous objections. Crawley Borough Council’s vision for Crawley is “a modern, vibrant town that stands proud of its achievements and uses its strengths to reach its potential. Its strong and diverse communities, neighbourhood structure, sustainable economic growth and excellent connections within and beyond the region will make it a place that people enjoy and want to live, work and visit”. The Local Plan is an important document, setting out the strategic priorities for Crawley and the planning policies to deliver: • Homes and jobs • Provision of retail, leisure and other commercial development • Provision of infrastructure for transport, telecommunications, water supply, wastewater, flood risk management and energy • Provision of community, social and cultural infrastructure and other local facilities • Climate change mitigation and adaptation • Conservation and enhancement of the natural, built and historic environment, including landscape and green infrastructure

FEBRUARY/MARCH 2021
• Sustainable growth of Gatwick Airport.
The draft submission Local Plan includes: • Planning for a minimum of 5,320 new homes
within the borough, meeting the local housing needs for a mix of house types and sizes, and including affordable housing • Meeting the borough’s future employment needs through protection and improvement of existing main employment areas and the allocation of a new strategic employment site, alongside supporting skills development, arts and culture and office provision • Enabling healthy lifestyles and wellbeing through good urban design, securing accessible and inclusive design from all new developments, protection and enhancements of existing open space, sports, play and recreation facilities, prioritising the use of accessible and reliable sustainable transport and active travel, and ensuring new development is supported by necessary infrastructure provision. Councillor Peter Smith, Cabinet member for Planning and Economic Development, said, ‘This consultation is the last chance for residents to tell us what they think about the Local Plan before it is examined by a Planning Inspector. So if you're interested in the future sustainable development of our town please take part in this stage of consultation.’ The consultation runs until 5pm on 17 February. Comments must be based on whether you consider the plan to comply with legal requirements, the duty to co-operate and whether the plan is sound. All responses will go to a Planning Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State. To have your say and for more information on the Crawley Local Plan visit our Local Plan page from 6 January at www.crawley.gov.uk/planning/ planning-policy/local-plan. You can also email your comments to strategic.planning@crawley.gov.uk or send them to Local Plan Consultation, Strategic Planning, Crawley Borough Council, Town Hall, The Boulevard, Crawley RH10 1UZ.

ift the flour, salt and icing sugar into a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and rub it lightly into the flour mix, using your fingertips, until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk and vanilla extract lightly together. Make a well in the centre of the flour mix. Add the egg and vanilla and work together to form a soft, smooth dough. (You can use a food processor if you have one). Place the dough in a polythene bag and place in the fridge to rest for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 170C / gas mark 3. Divide the chilled dough into two equal portions. Place one portion between two pieces of lightly floured greaseproof paper and roll the dough to approximately a 4mm thickness. Repeat with the second piece of dough. Remove the top sheet of paper. With a large biscuit cutter, cut the dough into an even number of discs. Using a small heart cutter, cut out and remove the centre of half the biscuit discs. Place all the discs on the baking sheets. Bake for 15–20 minutes until just firm and barely coloured. Don’t fully bake yet. Remove from the oven and place a teaspoonful Please mention CRAWLEY PAGES South when responding to adverts

Return to the oven and cook for a further 5–6 minutes by which time the biscuits will be evenly cooked and the jam sufficiently hot to stick the two halves of the biscuits together. Leave the biscuits to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.

BOOK REVIEW
ST LEONARD’S FOREST, WEST SUSSEX: A LANDSCAPE HISTORY
Dr Maggie Weir-Wilson with her book.
H
ave you ever wondered about St. Leonard’s Forest as you pass it by in your car, bicycle, or in the bus; maybe you have walked its footpaths, with or without a dog? Was it a royal forest? Who owned it? And what about the dragon? Wasn’t there something about a saint and the white and pink spring flowers, lily of the valley? Wonder no more. This is the first in depth study of St. Leonard’s Forest and it is clear from reading this thoroughly researched and engaging book that its author, Dr Maggie Weir-Wilson, has a deep interest in and love of the Sussex landscape, particularly its forests. St Leonard’s Forest, West Sussex: A Landscape History, covers the period from approximately the mid-18th century to the beginning of the 20th century. To make sense of the Forest’s development, this volume is set in its earlier historical and geographical context; Maggie researched how social and economic history effected this forest landscape. St. Leonard’s Forest, West Sussex: A Landscape History focusses on both the physical and social changes to the landscape of St. Leonard’s Forest and how these changes have impacted its population and growth. Follow the Forest’s journey from the early days of hunting, iron and charcoal production, stone quarries, rabbit warrens and poor heathland, through to the transformation to high value

properties with attractive gardens and parks. Five estates in the centre of the forest are considered, and inevitably St. Leonard’s dragon has his story told, along with other forest legends and myths. When she came to live in Horsham in the year 2000, Maggie was keen to know more about this lovely forest on her doorstep, so she began taking evening classes at the University of Sussex for a BA in Landscape Studies. When she retired from her work as a Probation Officer and Practice Teacher, she continued studying for her doctorate under the supervision of Professor Brian Short, and produced her thesis on the historic landscape changes of St. Leonard’s Forest. Maggie was awarded her doctorate in 2014 and has always been keen to make her research more widely available to West Sussex residents, historians and those who love forests, hence she wrote St Leonard’s Forest, West Sussex: A Landscape History. During the last two years Maggie has worked extensively to write her book. Jeremy Knight, Museum and Heritage Officer with Horsham Museum, kindly read Maggie’s draft and offering detailed feedback. In addition, Maggie has had the support and blessing of Emeritus Professor Brian Short of University of Sussex who has encouraged her efforts in writing this book. Bryan's support extended from being Maggie's supervisor, guiding her towards her DPhil thesis in 2014, through to writing the foreword for this book. Maggie’s first publication was Secret Horsham (2019) published by Amberley Publications. St Leonard’s Forest is her second book, and is published by new local publishers and complete author support team, Author’s Pen. Not keen to sit around since completing her doctorate, Maggie has focussed on writing, both fiction, non-fiction and also poetry.

negative way. The ways it does this can be recognised as feelings, dreams and archetypes, such as the dragon and devil that appear so frequently in the myths of St. Leonard’s Forest. Ultimately, though there is encouragement to get to know St Leonard’s Forest by the footpaths that were so nearly closed at the beginning of the 20th century, and to give thanks to those locals who fought to keep those footpaths open and who won the day. To walk through St Leonard’s Forest and appreciate its history, its legends, and get that restorative feeling that can only come from the sight and smell of pine, beech, oak and birch.

hobbies include: research, poetry, botanic watercolour painting, local history and gardens. St Leonard’s Forest, West Sussex: A Landscape History, has allowed Maggie to combine a number of these hobbies and really challenge them and herself. Her watercolours and poetry make a beautiful addition throughout her St Leonard’s Forest book. Maggie hopes her book will encourage everyone who reads it to consider the value of the landscape, and particularly its forests, not purely in terms of the financial value of their land, mineral and plant content, but also in terms of their undoubted value for the mental health and wellbeing of our society. Maggie’s book touches on the fascinating subject of terrapsychology, which rejects the concept that the earth is of use only as a source of resources for humanity, but rather looks at it as a living ecosystem which impinges on the human psyche in a positive or

fell in love with Hellebores a few years ago after an early spring visit to the Botanical Gardens in Cambridge where there are some beautiful displays. They provide a spring
garden with elegant colour, and I admit to being quite excited when they appear. They are poisonous plants so are probably best avoided if you have young children. They have a somewhat magical history. A mythological physician named Melampus was said to have observed the cathartic effect of hellebore on goats

gardens. Having said that, I was disappointed when my first hellebore plants didn’t thrive initially. They seemed to succumb to disease quite easily. I subsequently learned this this was black rot. Then I heard Alan Titchmarsh’s advice to carefully cut the large fingered leaves from the plant at ground level in January, taking care not to damage the buds.

and my hellebores are now flourishing. Hellebores like well-drained soil in sun or dappled shade. My clumps are happily increasing in size year-on-year. The stems shoot up to 25-30cm high between late January and February and the flowers appear at the top. Colours tend to be subtle: green-tinged white, yellow, oxblood red or dull purple but they glow in the more subdued light at this time of year. They would certainly appear washed-out in the bright sun of late spring and summer. The flowers are rich in nectar so provide food for early bees. There are many varieties of hellebore, with single or double flowers. Just note that not all of them are easy to grow. I have struggled to get the Christmas Rose Helleborus niger to survive, never mind flower, but I’ve had much more success with the Green hellebore, Helleborus viridis, the pretty pink Lenten rose Helleborus x hybridus, which selfseeds quite nicely, and also the Helleborus x hybridus

WEST SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL
MORE CARE WORKERS ARE NEEDED
A
s winter approaches, the care sector in West Sussex will be under increased pressure especially this year with the additional challenges of the coronavirus pandemic. More care workers are needed across the care sector to keep elderly and vulnerable people safe and well. West Sussex County Council’s Adult Social Care’s Winter Plan sets out how West Sussex residents will be supported throughout the winter months. A key element of the plan is to make sure there are enough care workers to support those living in residential care homes and care for people in their own homes. In West Sussex there are currently an estimated 25,000 people working in adult social care, but many more are needed.

The county council’s Proud to Care initiative is set up to help anyone thinking of working in care and particularly wants to hear from people who can work in care this winter. The Proud to Care website advertises hundreds of vacancies and contains information, guidance and case studies of others who now work in care. Amanda Jupp, Cabinet Member for Adults and Health, said: “Working in care is so rewarding and offers long term career opportunities for anyone motivated by helping and improving the lives of others. Christmas will be a difficult time for many people this year, so providing care to people that cannot be with their loved ones is, more than ever, vitally important. “Many ideal care workers come from many different backgrounds including retail, hospitality and customer services as they have the transferable people skills needed to be good carers. As we continue to be under restrictions to day to day life a number of people in these industries are facing redundancy so care work offers a great new opportunity.” Former shop manager Lesley now works as a Care Assistant in the Chichester area. She said: “Not only do I feel like I’m giving something back but the people I care for give so much to me too. I feel so valued and appreciated, I wouldn’t go back to working in retail now.

HULA FITNESS
THE PERFECT LOCKDOWN EXERCISE
D
uring the first lockdown I rather enjoyed the enforced laziness. I am a gym member, but I don’t really love it. After a while though I noticed that while I didn’t miss weights and running on the treadmill, I did miss the classes, and the rush of endorphins that followed. Then one day while idly flicking through YouTube videos I came across a ‘hula-fitness’ workout. It looked fun. I grabbed one of my daughter’s neon hula hoops and had a go. Much harder than it looked but I enjoyed it. The next afternoon I had another go and my teenage daughter joined in. We laughed a lot (which was a bonus as anyone who has a teenage daughter will acknowledge) and afterwards we investigated hula-fitness a bit more. Hula hooping is inexpensive, and you can do it practically anywhere, which was kind of the point back in lockdown. All you need to get started is a hoop and room to move. Standard hula hoops are cheap as chips but after a few sessions we invested in weighted ones. Even they didn’t break the bank. Ours cost about £15 each but even the more expensive ones were only £40. It is important to find the right-sized hoop. Larger hoops are a little easier as a beginner because you spin more slowly. If using a weighted hoop, begin with a lighter one (around 0.5-1Kg) and increase the weight as you get more proficient. Correct form is more important than weight, and I did have a little accident where I pulled a muscle in my back for a few days because in my enthusiasm the first hoop I bought was too heavy. There are a few online tutorials that talk you through how to hula hoop with proper form. To my delight I found our gym offered a beginner’s online hula fitness class, so we signed up for that. To advertise call 01403 588618 CRAWLEY PAGES South
With hula hooping, you teach your body how to move the right way with the hoop while working your cardiovascular system. Shorter workouts are better at the start. We started with two ten-minute sessions a day and worked up from there. BASIC FORM AND POSTURE Feet should be a little more than shoulderwidth apart, with one foot slightly in front of the other. Your back should be straight, and your core engaged to protect your back. Hold each side of the hoop around your waist, resting against your back. With the hoop against your back, start spinning the hoop in whichever direction you find easiest. As the hoop starts to spin, move your waist in a circular motion to keep the hoop moving. Push your hips slightly forward as the hoop moves across your stomach and push back when the hoop moves across your back. KEEP THE CORE MUSCLES ENGAGED – TUMMY TIGHT. If the hoop drops just pick it up and get going again. Finally - If you have a back injury or chronic back pain, check with your doctor or physical therapist before trying hula hooping to make sure it’s safe for you. FEBRUARY/MARCH 2021

PA N C A K E DAY
SHROVE TUESDAY became a symbol of self-indulgence before the fast. Indeed Mardi Gras, as the ritual is called in France and the USA, literally translates as ‘Fat Tuesday.’ Over the years I’ve tried my pancakes with fruit, maple syrup, and a variety of savoury fillings but I keep coming back to fresh lemon juice and a sprinkling of sugar...irresistible. Here is my own recipe for perfect pancakes. INGREDIENTS
I
grew up near Olney, in Buckinghamshire. It’s a pretty little town with lots of lovely independent shops and a strange claim to fame; it is the home of the pancake race. On Shrove Tuesday, in a 500-year-old tradition, many of the Olney women (and the odd bloke in a dress), don aprons and head coverings, and race through the streets to the church tossing a hot pancake in a frying pan! It’s an entertaining afternoon, but how did it all come about? Legend has it that in 1455 a woman cooking pancakes heard the shriving bell summoning her to confession. In her Christian haste she ran to the church, wearing her apron and still clutching her frying pan, complete with hot pancake, and so the tradition was born. The reason this 15th Century woman was cooking pancakes in the first place was due to a Christian dictate; that through the 40 days of Lent no person should eat milk, eggs, or butter. This was a pre-fridge era, which meant that if a housewife had stocks of these foods they would go off before the fast ended on Easter Sunday, so she had to use them up. The solution was to make pancakes and they

FEBRUARY/MARCH 2021
115g (4oz) plain flour Pinch salt 1 large egg 285ml (half a pint of milk) 115g (4oz) butter, melted Juice from 2 lemons, strained Caster or Demerara sugar to taste. To make the batter: sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the centre. Beat in the egg and a little of the milk until smooth. Gradually beat in the remaining milk and add 4 tablespoons of the melted butter. Cover the bowl and leave to stand for one hour. In a small non-stick frying pan heat some of the butter until sizzling, but taking care not to let it burn. Pour enough batter into the pan to coat the base evenly. Cook over a moderate heat until the pancake is light golden-brown underneath and looks dry on top. Flip over (try to do this with style!) and cook the other side until golden. Continue until all the batter is used. The recipe should make 10-12 pancakes. You can keep the pancakes warm in the oven (Gas mark 1 / 140C) until they are all cooked, but in our house they’re barely out the frying pan before they’re scoffed. Serve with the lemon juice and sugar...Enjoy! By Sarah Davey Please mention CRAWLEY PAGES South when responding to adverts
