Edge of DISASTER Pagham residents say they are in a highly dangerous situation Susanna Reid

BEACH FRONT HOME OWNERS in Pagham have said their properties are under threat after sea defences were damaged for the second time this year. The defences at Pagham, near Chichester, were washed away after the tail end of Hurricane Bertha caused further beach erosion at the weekend. Sea defences were completed in December, but damaged by strong tides the following month. About 5m (16ft) of the 12m (39ft) beach was eroded over the weekend.

Earlier this year, the Environment Agency pledged £70,000 and Arun District Council £100,000 to repair the defences after the damage in January. Roger Spencer, lead engineer at Arun District Council, outlined the short-term solution to the latest damage, and said that contractors would arrive on Tuesday morning with more shingle for the beach. “We’ve also been in close contact with the Environment Agency and they’ve pledged 400 tonnes of rock, also arriving tomorrow morning, to help bolster up the defences,” he said. About 5m (16ft) of the 12m (39ft) beach was eroded over the weekend

breaching the spit would be a viable long-term solution. The ‘Save Pagham Beach’ Facebook page commented on their site: “As ADC continue to ignore their own trigger points and the plight of residents living on the edge, all we can do is look on in dismay, bewilderment, frustration and anger. The time this photograph pictured was taken it was 30 minutes before peak high tide, and just six metres of beach remained in front of some properties. In an hour or so it could be a lot less. Thank goodness that the

weather wasn’t as bad as predicted, otherwise there is no doubt that properties would have been lost. And let’s get facts straight, because this weather had been forecast for a good while. It was not unexpected, and there was plenty of time to react. So why was nothing done? And how on earth does ADC’s Engineering Services Manager think he’s going to save these properties during the winter months by dumping shingle in front of them? They’ve been taken to the edge of disaster in AUGUST, for goodness sake.”

Watch stolen from dying man at Chichester hospital POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING the reported theft of a valuable Rolex watch from a dying patient at a West Sussex hospital. Early on Thursday 7 August 68year old David Davies, of Birdham, near Chichester, was brought by ambulance to St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester suffering from a serious heart condition. Sadly he died at the hospital a short while later. However, at some point between 6am and 7.15am while he was being attended to in the Resuscitation Area area adjacent to A&E, the watch disappeared and despite a thorough search of the area, and checks with staff

who were on duty at the time, it has not yet been found. Police are treating the disappearance as theft and Detective Constable Mark Burgess said: “This is a silver Submariner Rolex, valued at some £5,000, but, even more importantly, was treated as a family heirloom having been in the family since 1985. If you have any information about the theft, or if you have been offered such a watch locally since last Thursday, we would very much like to hear from you.

Swimmer thanks foreshores team for saving his life A MAN from London made a special visit to Chichester District Council’s Foreshores Office in Bracklesham Bay to say thank its team for saving his life. Deputy Foreshore Officer, Neil Foster, was alerted at around Midday on Wednesday, 30 July by beachgoers who saw a man who seemed to be drunk, staggering close to the water’s edge. “It was a busy day, the beach was quite full and there were lots of people out swimming and with their kayaks and so on,” said Neil. “This guy had gone out swum out a fair distance and come back but there was no indication anything was wrong at first. “Someone came running up to me and said there seems to be someone drunk on the beach. By the time I got to him he was conscious but in a bit of a state and I did think I might need to do CPR at some stage.” The man was not in fact drunk, but had swallowed sea water and was drowning. With the help of another bather, Neil dragged the man out of the water and placed him in the recovery position. Knowing help was needed – and fast - instead of using the mobile phone to contact the emergency services, Neil alerted Solent Coastguard which called for an ambulance. This saved valuable time and meant Neil was able spend more time looking after the casualty. “All the time I was reassuring the guy,” said Neil. “He really wanted to fall asleep but I knew that if he did he would fall unconscious so I had to keep him awake. You could see from the colour of his face he was not well. A family helped me move him up the beach, we had to do that

twice as the tide was coming in and someone gave me towels to keep him warm.” A First Responder arrived from the Witterings Estate and then an ambulance arrived. The man was given oxygen and Neil used a stretcher board to help the crew move the man to the ambulance. He was then taken to St Richard’s Hospital. “Usually we don’t get to find out what happens to a casualty but on 2 August the man drove down from his home in London. He came and shook my hand and said ‘thank you’. We found out his name was Anthony and that he was 58. He had been on drips for several hours before he was able to go home. “This is my job, and looking after people is what I’m here for. I don’t want lots of praise but for me it was about knowing that he was alright, that he’d made it through. I’d also like to thank the family that helped me, they were very good.” Chichester District Council’s Foreshores Team based at Bracklesham Boat Office covers an 11-mile stretch of coastline and this

is one of many life-saving incidents which it has been involved with. Other accidents have included a female kitesurfer who was injured after landing headfirst, a windsurfer who suffered a severe gash to his leg and horse riders thrown off the saddle after their horses were spooked. In addition the team provides first aid, helps when there are reports of missing children and helps keep the area clean and tidy for residents and visitors alike. Foreshores Officer, Martin Gillam says: “We have a great Foreshores team: Neil was fantastic and he kept calm when others may have panicked. It’s not the first time we’ve had to deal with an emergency and it means a lot to us when somebody comes back to say thank you.” Councillor John Connor, Cabinet Member for the Environment, said: “Our Foreshores team does a fantastic job keeping people safe and ensuring this area of coastline is clean for visitors to enjoy. The team is involved in all sorts of situations and it’s good to know its work is appreciated.”

Man jailed for raping 12-year-old girl from Chichester

John Astley

A MAN has been jailed for 10 years for raping a 12-year-old girl from Chichester. John Astley, 34, of Wyndham

Avenue, Bolton, pleaded guilty to rape when he appeared at Hove Crown Court on Monday (4 August). He also admitted causing a child to engage in pornography. The court heard how in January this year, Astley met his victim online and over the next few weeks met her twice in Sunderland. Then on 8 March, he travelled from Bolton to West Sussex and met the girl very late at night. He took her away from her home to a retail car park in Havant, Hampshire, where he raped her. As he was driving her home, the family had just discovered she was missing and had called the police. Astley was arrested nearby. When officers examined his mobile phone they found indecent images of the victim stored on the device.

As well as his 10-year sentence, Astley was ordered to sign the sex offenders’ register and be subject of an indefinite Sexual Offences Prevention

Order,

which

will

restrict his access to children. Detective Midgley

Constable

said:

“This

David was

particularly nasty case, with Astley taking advantage of a young, vulnerable

girl.

The

sentence

imposed reflects the tough stance the justice system takes against people

who

commit

offences

against those that are vulnerable. “Even when Astley is released from prison, the Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO) imposed by the court will ensure he remains closely supervised.”

Antiques stolen from house in Chichester POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a number of antiques were stolen from a house in Whyke Road, Chichester, between 10pm on Saturday 26 July and 6.30am on Sunday 27 July. The stolen antiques include figurines, decorative plates, ornaments, brass candlesticks, scent bottles and a silver picture frame.

Man arrested for exposing himself A 56-YEAR-OLD man from Bognor has been arrested on suspicion of exposing himself nine times in Bognor. The offences were all in the Victoria Drive area of the town on November 28, November 30, January 23, January 31, February 4, July 3,

July 18, July 24 and August 4. The offences all involved a man exposing himself at small groups of women between 10.30pm and midnight but would never try and speak to them. The man has been bailed until 11 October.

Man who absconded from Ford Prison recaptured within 24 hours

A MAN who absconded from Ford Prison has been returned to custody less than 24 hours later. Lewis Berry, 22, absconded from the prison at some time between 1pm and 5pm on Wednesday (6 August). Berry, formerly of Test Road,

Sompting, had been jailed for four years and six months in February 2013 after he and three teenagers attacked and robbed an 18-year-old in Buckingham Road, Shoreham. All four defendants were jailed for their part in the attack. Officers were told Berry was

missing at 5.45pm on Wednesday by prison staff. Berry is now back in prison after pressure from officers, working with the prison service, persuaded him to give himself up. He was charged with escaping from lawful custody and remanded

in custody to appear at Crawley Magistrates’ Court on Friday 8 August. Detective Inspector Dave Grover said: “Thanks to good work from officers contacting a number of possible witnesses and people who knew Berry, he handed himself in

at Southwick police station the day after absconding. “We are determined to catch and arrest every person who absconds from prison or who fails to return after being allowed out on licence and are grateful to the media and the public for all the help they give us.”

Still time to give your views List of possible minerals sites is published on West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service changes RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES still have time to give their views on proposals to change how West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service (WSFRS) operates. They have until Saturday, August 23 to take part in the county wide public consultation, ahead of a West Sussex County Council decision in September. The proposals aim to improve the service WSFRS offers across the county while managing resources within a reduced budget. The plans would help the fire and rescue service save £1.6million from its budget for 2015/16 without impacting upon its response to emergencies or response standards. The proposals: Keep all fire stations open, but change the way fire engines are crewed, introduce new shift patterns and reduce the overall number of staff, including firefighters; Keep the same number of immediate response fire engines, but move one from a temporary base to a permanent location and

remove some second, and one third, appliance; Support WSFRS with the prevention work it carries out, working closely with communities, professional partners and those most at risk; and Allow for investment in specialist equipment and training to support communities during severe weather and widespread flooding. Full copies of the consultation document are available at West Sussex libraries and District and Borough Council offices. Electronic copies, and all the supporting technical documentation, are available on www.westsussex.gov.uk/fire. Residents can fill out an online questionnaire: www. surveymonkey.com/s/FFR2015 or write to Have Your Say, Future Fire Rescue, Freepost RSBK-CHTUKGGG WSCC, Chichester, PO19 1RQ. You can also make your views known by email: futurefirerescue@ westsussex.gov.uk or by phone: 01243 752460.

PEOPLE’S views are being sought on a list of 27 possible sites for mineral production in West Sussex. The list, included within a Mineral Sites Study, is being made available for public comment until Monday 22 September as part of work on West Sussex’s new Minerals Local Plan. The Minerals Local Plan is being prepared jointly between West Sussex County Council and the South Downs National Park Authority, and will run until 2031. No preferred sites have been identified at this stage. These will be included in the draft Plan which is expected to be published in 2015. Pieter Montyn, West Sussex County Council’s Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, who has responsibility for planning for minerals extraction, said: “We would like the public and industry to look at the information we have put together for each site and let us know if it is accurate. “We are committed to involving the public in the plan-making process and listening to their views so that the final Plan reflects the comments, observations and views of all relevant and interested parties.”

West Sussex has mineral resources which include clay, sandstone, soft sand, sharp sand and gravel, chalk, and oil and gas resources (onshore hydrocarbons). Making sure there is an adequate supply of minerals is vital to the success of our economy. The new West Sussex Minerals Local Plan will set out the policies against which proposals for minerals development will be assessed. This will make sure communities and the environment are protected by directing mineral development to the most appropriate locations. Keith Reed, Deputy Director of Planning for the South Downs National Park Authority, said: “National Parks have the highest status of protection in relation to landscape and scenic beauty and we are working closely in partnership with West Sussex County Council to identify land for minerals while safeguarding the special landscapes, wildlife and communities of this part of the South Downs. The Mineral Local Plan is critical to achieving this goal.” Paper copies of the Minerals Sites Study are available at all

county, district and borough council offices, along with the South Downs National Park Authority headquarters. Further information on the consultation can be found on the county council’s website at www.westsussex.gov.uk/ mwdf and any questions relating to the consultation can be emailed to mwdf@westsussex.gov.uk or call the Planning and Transport Policy Team on 01243 642118. The 27 sites are: Woodmancote; Common Road West; Common Road East; Slades Field ; Densworth North; West Stoke Road East; West Stoke Road West; Huntersrace Lane North ; Madam Green Farm; Brick Kiln Farm; Land at Redvins; Funtington West; East of West Heath Common; Minsted West; Severals East; Severals West; Hawkhurst Farm; Duncton Common; Coopers Moor; Horncroft ; Chantry Lane Extension; Ham Farm; Land at Wickford Bridge; Rock Common West; Shoreham Cement Works; Land Adjacent to West Hoathley Brickworks; Philpots Quarry Northern Extension

Operation Magpie: New initiative launched to prevent burglaries across Sussex RESIDENTS living near burglary victims are to be visited by police to help them avoid becoming a target. From August, officers and Neighbourhood Watch volunteers across the county will visit people living close to the scenes of break-ins within days of the crime to warn them about what has happened, show them how they can make sure their home is secure and gather information that could help catch offenders. The tactic has been trialled in Hove where a dramatic reduction in burglaries in the area has followed and is now being rolled out across the force. It is part of Operation Magpie, Sussex Police’s crackdown on burglary across the county. Inspector Nick Dias said: “Burglars try to maximise the amount they get from their crime while minimising the time they have to find looking for a house to break into and the chance of them being caught. “By warning local people when there has been a burglary we can not only reduce the chance of them becoming a victim but also force the offender to take more of a risk to commit crime. “That means the burglar may move to an area they do not know well so they are more likely to leave evidence behind at the scene or to be caught in the act.

“Everyone can help us tackle burglary in Sussex by taking every step possible to keep their home secure. Simple measures like doublelocking your front door and using window locks have been proven to be effective deterrents against offenders. “Also, every burglar we take off the streets means fewer victims of burglary so we would encourage members of the community to contact us if they see anyone acting suspiciously in their area. We can all work together to make Sussex a nogo area for burglars.” During the 24-week trial in Hove

from August 2013, the number of burglaries fell by 51% compared to the same period a year earlier - a drop from 263 to 120. Across the rest of the force the number of burglaries fell by 21% during the same period. In Hove, 90% of people visited said they were more likely to report suspicious behaviour to the police after the trial and 70% increased their home security following a visit from police. The county’s Police & Crime Commissioner, Katy Bourne, has welcomed the initiative, which maximises face-to-face contact

between the public, the police and community volunteers. She said: “I know burglary is a concern for local people, not least because it has a deep, personal impact on victims. “I am pleased to see Sussex Police using innovative crime-fighting techniques that help catch burglars and sees officers working with Neighbourhood Watch to advise the public on how they can protect their property. “I urge residents to follow this advice to help avoid being affected by burglary. “I will continue to keep a watchful

eye on how the police are tackling this issue.” John Wright, the chair of Sussex Neighbourhood Watch Federation, said: “The main aims of Neighbourhood Watch are to prevent crime, reduce the fear of crime and improve safety. It’s about people looking out for each other, crossing barriers of age, race and class to create strong cohesive communities that benefit everyone. “Neighbourhood Watch acts as the eyes and ears of the community. As a result it has been shown that Neighbourhood Watch areas are far less likely to be targeted by criminals. “Neighbourhood Watch has been involved in Operation Magpie since it started. I am delighted that we are taking an active part to help our partners in Sussex Police in keeping our homes and streets safe; places where crime cannot flourish, with communities that care.” If you have any information about burglaries, please call 101 or email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk. For crime prevention advice visit www.sussex.police.uk. If you see or hear a burglary taking place call 999 immediately.

Overhanging trees a thing of the past on county’s bus routes posing a danger to passengers The work is being funded from the County Council’s highways budget. Pieter Montyn, County Council Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, said: “This is a truly brilliant and effective way of keeping our bus routes clear and solving the problem of overgrown vegetation which can cause a lot of damage to buses and other high vehicles that use our roads.

“Taking speedy action is key here and by starting this work now we can ensure that our county’s bus routes are kept clear and remain safe for those drivers and passengers that use them.” The Tree Bus will be in Crawley this week having already completed work in the Chichester area and Midhurst. It will then move on to the main routes between Chichester, Selsey and Bognor Regis next week.

Tuck into Chichester’s Food Fare WEST SUSSEX County Council and Stagecoach buses are providing a double-decker solution to the problem of overhanging trees on the county’s bus routes. The Tree Bus will become a familiar sight on West Sussex roads over the next three weeks as it works its way around the county clearing overgrown vegetation affecting tall buses and other high vehicles. The former double-decker passenger bus has been converted by Stagecoach and loaned to West Sussex County Council to deal with

the problem. The top deck is used as a working platform where tree surgeons use specialist tools to cut back overhanging branches. The debris is passed down through a chute to the deck below where it is then treated and stored. A list of the county’s roads which are affected by overhanging trees and form part of the local network has been compiled by local bus companies. The team, which consists of up to three tree surgeons and a driver, will

then travel up and down the routes clearing as much of the problem vegetation as possible. The majority of the overhanging trees are privately owned and would not normally come under the council’s responsibilities. However, it is felt that contacting each owner individually would be time-consuming and could be met with some resistance. The trees that overhang the affected roads have grown to a stage where they could start to cause damage to high vehicles and buses,

RESIDENTS will have the opportunity to support their local food producers when Chichester’s Local Food Fare returns to the city from Friday 29 August to Sunday 31 August. The event will celebrate local food and give people the chance to find out about the fantastic produce that can be found on their doorstep. Over 45 local traders will be based in North Street and East Street, in Chichester city centre. Shoppers will be able to choose from a range of specialist cheeses; seasonal locally grown vegetables and fruit; reared meat and caught game; and a wide range

of handmade foods. Some of the local farms at the event will also be selling plants and flowers. Opening times are 9am – 5pm on Friday (29 August) and Saturday (30 August), and 10am – 4pm on Sunday (31 August). For the latest information

RESIDENTS in Chichester District are being warned to be vigilant following a number of complaints about bogus calls claiming residents’ properties are in the wrong council tax band. The scammers call and offer to challenge the banding on a resident’s behalf, often for a fee. The scammers’ methods include: · charging an up-front fee then not making the challenge at all; · asking for a person’s bank details so they can provide a refund but instead they take money from the account; · offering a resident an agent, telling them they must have one by law in order to challenge the banding, when this is not the case at all. Following calls in Selsey, the Witterings and the Bournes, Chichester District Council is urging people not to give any bank details over the phone and to end any suspicious telephone call immediately. Any suspicious phone calls, text messages or emails should be reported as soon as possible to: · Chichester District Council’s Council Tax team on 01243 534501 or email counciltax@chichester.gov. uk · Sussex Police on 101 ·West Sussex County Council Trading Standards on 03454 04 05 06

Any genuine direct phone number given by Chichester District Council would be in the format of 01243 534***. In some cases scammers may carry out cold calls at people’s homes. If they receive a cold call residents are urged to seek identification from the person at the door, ring a cold caller’s office to confirm their identity and dial 999 if a cold caller refuses to leave. Councillor Tony Dignum, Cabinet Member for Finance and Governance, says: “We are urging residents to be extremely careful and not give out any details over the phone. If you are concerned about the banding of your property, you can do this for free by contacting your local Valuation Office. Anyone can do this and you don’t need a third party despite what these scammers may tell you over the phone. “No council would contact

residents in this way and we would certainly not cold call homeowners and ask for their bank details. I would urge everyone to be vigilant and also keep an eye on older relatives or neighbours. Anyone concerned about a call should report it immediately.” For more information about these types of scams, go to the Council Tax section on the Valuation Office Agency’s website www.voa.gov.uk or call 03000 501501.

National News News in Brief • THIRTY women in Oxfordshire are to be reassessed for breast cancer after five patients developed the disease following screening by the same doctor. They were identified by Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust after a review of the 626 women seen between 2011 and 2014. Results showed they required “urgent appointments” to “ensure... any breast abnormalities have been picked up”. A formal “serious incident” inquiry has been launched within the trust.

Record university places as results revealed

• THE INSCRIPTION “sleep tight Dad xx” has been banned from a headstone in a Catholic churchyard in Bamber Bridge, Lancashire. Mike Howsley’s family was told the wording on his headstone was inappropriate for the graveyard at St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church. His partner Janet Corless said: “This has been very traumatic for me. Mike died right in front of me.” A statement from the parish priest said there had been a “miscommunication”. • FAILING GP practices will face closure under plans being unveiled in England. The Care Quality Commission confirmed the sanction as they announced the special measure regime being used for hospitals will be extended to GPs. It is effectively the first time there will have been a national failure regime for the profession. Practices given the bottom rating inadequate - will get six months or a year to resolve problems before facing being shut down. • A PILOT LOST CONTROL of a passenger plane after his artificial arm became detached as he was coming in to land, an accident report has said. The Flybe flight from Birmingham, with 47 passengers on board, was approaching Belfast City Airport in gusty conditions on 12 February. It landed heavily but no-one was hurt and the plane was not damaged. • A WEST YORKSHIRE beer has been named the best in Britain. Timothy Taylor’s Boltmaker was crowned the best beer in the country at the Great British Beer Festival in London. The Keighley brewed real ale was judged to be the finest ahead of a host of other finalists across seven different beer categories. • A CYCLIST HAS DIED after collapsing during the RideLondon event through London and Surrey. Kris Cook, 36, had a cardiac arrest at Newlands Corner, near Guildford, during the RideLondon-Surrey 100 on Sunday. RideLondon organisers said he was treated by doctors at the scene and taken to hospital but later pronounced dead.

RECORD NUMBERS of university places are on offer as pupils in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are about to find out their A-level and AS-level results. An extra 30,000 university places are available and it is expected that for the first time over 500,000 places will be allocated for courses this autumn. Universities say students could get places even if they miss their grades. Education Secretary Nicky Morgan says the government wants to “lift the cap on aspiration”. The Ucas admissions service says that so far 396,990 students have been accepted on degree courses at UK universities - up 3% compared with this point last year. The results will also show whether the proportion of top grades is continuing to decline

- after two successive years with fewer A* and A grades. Last year, about 26% of entries received these highest grades. But for school leavers planning to go to university, there are suggestions that this could be an unusually good year to apply, with a “buyer’s market” in which universities are competing to attract students. There are more higher education places than ever before and there is a continuing flexibility for universities to admit more students who achieve A-level grades of ABB or above. Universities Minister Greg Clark says that the expansion in places is an “important source of social mobility”. Nick Foskett, vice-chancellor of Keele University, says students will have more options than in previous

years, even if they do not get their expected grades. “More students are likely to be accepted into their first choice, even if their grades are slightly lower than universities requested,” said Prof Foskett. “Many universities that have plans for growth will be using this year to expand their numbers, so will be keen to accept students that may have been rejected in previous years.” The Ucas admissions service says that initial figures show a 2% increase in students getting their first choice place. The Russell Group of leading universities has indicated that there will be more flexibility than usual. “Some Russell Group universities may still have places available in some subjects for students who have done better than expected,”

said the group’s director general, Wendy Piatt. “There

Daughter kept dead mother’s body in bathroom A DAUGHTER found dead in a home in Oxfordshire had kept the body of her mother in her bathroom for months, an inquest has heard. Pauline and Caroline Jessett were discovered at the home they shared in Cowley Road, Littlemore, in November. The inquest heard it was likely the mother, Pauline, had died in March 2012 and her daughter was unable to cope. Miss Jessett, 50, had carried on living in the house but it is thought she died some time in 2013.

The inquest heard Miss Jessett placed the body of her 78-yearold mother in the downstairs bath and covered her with blankets and sheets. The mother and daughter’s bodies were found after environmental health officers were called to the house by neighbours because of concerns about the safety of the property. Police discovered the body of Miss Jessett lying on the floor of a bedroom on 21 November. That day, the house was declared

structurally unsound, with holes in the floors and walls and had to be made safe before investigations could continue A week later, Mrs Jessett’s body was discovered in the bathroom. At the time, next door neighbour Raymond Bailey described the women as reclusive. Post-mortem examinations carried out on both bodies were unable to determine a cause of death. Miss Jessett’s body was described as “mummified” by police and

could only be identified by forensic techniques. Her mother was identified from the unique serial number on an artificial hip. Describing the case as “sad and unusual”, coroner Darren Salter recorded a verdict of death by natural causes for Caroline Jessett, most likely from a brain tumour. He recorded an open verdict for Pauline Jessett, as he said it was impossible to determine a cause of death.

Summer lovin’ Kylee Charles Director of PR Consultancy Mindseye Management

I always dread summer coming to an end. Sure, it’s not like the old days when summer meant no school and running around free, but like most people, summer still makes me feel like I have more personal time and freedom. It must be the extra daylight? Even if I can’t have the feeling of summer, it makes a huge difference to me if I can work in different ways, from home, from a coffee shop or even whilst away with the family. The true essence of mobile working I guess? Cisco recently commissioned a study that looked at ways to

Chichester Herald provides businesses with an unrivalled, targeted and costeffective advertising solution across the City with a newspaper readership of 83,000.

We also deliver thousands of newspapers to homes across the area every week. As well as this, over 1000 businesses

understand how mobility was emerging. Of course, since then, “going mobile” has really become the norm. In that study, they found that ‘Successful mobile workers tend to be resilient extroverts. They are open to new experiences and highly adaptable. And, contrary to the stereotype of the harassed and disoriented road warrior, they are supremely organised and independent-minded.’ Yes, that’s me…. I think? It’s interesting looking back at previous studies of theirs as in 2007 they cited a prediction that “within two years, one quarter of the world’s working population will be mobile workers.” And this was before Apple’s iPad was even released! Other interesting statistics show that: 64 percent of mobile workers now carry a tablet, rising to nearly 80 percent within the next six months according to respondents’ buying predictions 67 percent of mobile workers now use social media for work 92 percent of mobile workers believe their Smartphones should

With almost half of small business owners planning to work remotely for at least two weeks before the summer is out, it means I am not alone! And none of us have to be locked to our desks.

This wonderful event will showcase a huge selection of classic, vintage and steam vehicles and provide the opportunity to get out in to the great outdoors this summer.

£50,000 IS UP FOR GRABS as easyJet founder Sir Stelios HajiIoannou is calling for talented disabled entrepreneurs to apply for this year’s Stelios Award for Disabled Entrepreneurs in the UK. The winner of the award, now in its eighth year, will be presented with a £50,000 cash prize - the largest cash sum of its kind – at a special ceremony in London later this year. The award, jointly run by the Stelios Philanthropic Foundation and the charity Leonard Cheshire Disability, recognises the achievements of disabled entrepreneurs who have overcome challenges to set up their own businesses. Last year’s winner, James King, has invested the £50,000 winning prize into strengthening his business, Oliver James Garden Rooms. He overcame the challenges of having a progressive eye condition, Retinitis Pigmentosa, to set up his garden room extensions firm, and began trading in 2011. Now with a workforce of seven and a turnover of almost £300,000, James works with homeowners across Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and Hertfordshire. James said of the benefits to his business: “It’s a huge lift when you think that a successful business tycoon can see a future in your business and believes in you.” The deadline for applications is Friday 19 September 2014. To apply or download an application form visit www.leonardcheshire. org/stelios or call 020 7112 1489 (choose option 1). Alternative formats are available on request.

THE NUMBER of landlords in the UK is at record highs of 1.4 million and accountants are cashing in on the thousands of new landlords who are struggling to work out their tax returns. New research out today suggests landlords across the UK are paying up to 6.54% of their annual rental income to have their tax return completed according to UKLandlordTax. co.uk. It would seem not all cities are created equal when it comes to accountancy fees. Accountants in the Greater London area charge on average £426 to file a landlords tax return, but surprisingly when taken as a proportion of the average annual rental income of £16,944 this works out to just 2.51% which is amongst the lowest in the country. Following VAN on HIRE from Greater London is the North West region where although the average return cost is lower at £393 it comes in at a higher 4.93% of the annual rental income, the West Midlands comes in third at £363 per completed return with an average spend of 4.85% as a proportion of the annual rent.

New figures published this month revealed the average gross yield on a rental property in London is 4.3% and in parts of the North it is 8.2%. However when it comes to having a tax return filed it is Northern landlords who pay the most in terms of a proportion of rental income. Landlords in the the North of England can pay up to 6.54% of their rental income to have a tax return completed almost three times as much as landlords in London shell out. Landlords in Yorkshire and Humber were the best off with the average cost of the return working out to £131 equating to only 1.82% of the annual rental income. Northern Ireland and the East Midlands also fare well at just 1.9% and 2% respectively. Simon Thandi, partner at UK Landlord Tax comments: “It’s not surprising that the capital city boasts the most expensive selfassessment rates in GBP in the UK. However what is somewhat unexpected, is the proportion of rental income landlords in the North East and North West of England are expected to pay to access accounting advice and

services. “With more than 1.4 million landlords expected to file a return this year, they need be sure to shop around and get several quotes before proceeding. It need not be a high street accountant, in fact online firms are often more cost

effective

with

companies

like UK Landlord Tax offering an inclusive service for as little as £95+VAT. Before working with an online company make sure you have done your due diligence; ensuring they are a member of a professional body, comply with money laundering rules, have indemnity insurance as well as an office for you to visit should you wish to do so. Simon Thandi of UK Landlord Tax

also

adds:

“You

should

expect at least the same level of professional service from an online provider as you would from a high street accountant.”

Thomas Eggar supports Nuffield Health acquisition of nine Virgin Active Health Clubs LAW FIRM Thomas Eggar has assisted Nuffield Health, the UK’s leading not-for-profit healthcare organisation, on the acquisition of nine Health Clubs from Virgin Active. As a key client of the firm, Thomas Eggar’s dedicated Nuffield Health account team worked collaboratively across its corporate and property specialisms, ensuring this commercially important and time critical project completed successfully.

SAINSBURY’S CHICHESTER has announced that Chichester Downs Syndrome Group will receive a year’s worth of fundraising and awareness support. The charity that supports the group was started in 1987 to provide support for families of children with Downs Syndrome. There is presently about 50 families in the local group whose children range from 5 months to over 24 years and they will be the new ‘Local Charity’ for the Chichester store. The retailer’s Local Charity Scheme is now in its sixth year and gives customers the chance to vote for their favourite local charity to be considered to receive a year’s worth of support from their Sainsbury’s store. The scheme has raised over £6

million to support local charities since 2009. The Chichester Store, situated in Westhampnett Road, has had great success in supporting previous local charities and last year raised £2,165.62 for The Point. The charity will be using the money towards a bigger size ramp and a changing table. Customers had a huge say in this year’s announcement and voted instore and online between 28 May and 8 June. The store colleagues then decided that Chichester Downs Syndrome Group were the best charity for them to work with to make a real difference. Natalie from Chichester Downs Syndrome Group said: “We know the success that the Local Charity

partnership has bought to many charities in Chichester, so when we received the news, we were thrilled. We hope the partnership will help raise awareness of our cause to the store’s customers and will help us develop the important service we provide to the community.” Sainsbury’s Kay Goacher, Store Manager at Chichester, said: “We’ve had a great response from our customers this year, both through in-store and online votes. We’re delighted to have chosen a charity which touched many of our colleagues’ hearts. We will now be working closely with the charity to ensure they really benefit from being our Local Charity for the next 12 months.”

Covers encourage more businesses to get involved and join the Parklands Big Build COVERS TIMBER and Builders Merchants, with a depot on Quarry Lane, Chichester, is the first local company to sponsor the Parklands Big Build project. Chichester College’s student enterprise society, Xpress Yourself, together with Hyde Housing and Bishop Luffa Close Residents’ Association, have been working hard to create a fantastic new playground for residents of Parklands, Chichester. In order to build the project in the Big Buildstyle imagined, the team needed to raise around £20,000. The majority of this has come from grants the project has been fortunate enough to receive, but the remainder relies on local businesses, such as Covers, to step up and make a vital contribution. Lianne Grogen, Project Coordinator and Lecturer at

Chichester College, said: “This project has been a lot of hard work but all the hours put in are finally starting to pay off. Very few of the Parklands residents have gardens but thanks to the donation of some unused land by Hyde Housing, the determination of Chichester College students and sponsorship from local businesses, the new playground will provide a much-needed resource for children of all ages and their parents. We have managed to source lots of great items including a slide, climbing frame and tree seat made by the college’s carpentry students, whilst at the same time creating space for parents to meet and relax.” To help generate the final funds needed, Lianne is inviting local businesses to sponsor the playground. To thank the companies for their support and

generosity, each company’s name will be displayed within the park. Covers were the first to come on board and help in this way and have purchased two plaques. Martyn Beck, Covers Chichester Depot Manager. said “At Covers, family is incredibly important and we understand how important it is to spend precious moments together, especially outdoors. The playground is a superb idea and we are proud to be a part of the project.” Xpress Yourself, Hyde Housing and Bishop Luffa Close Residents’ Association will be inviting local residents and businesses to join them for the grand opening of the playground in a summer fete style party in September. For more information about sponsoring the project and purchasing a plaque, please email lianne.grogan@chichester.ac.uk.

explosive Expendables thriller. Many years ago, Conrad Stonebanks (Mel Gibson) was one of the five cofounders of The Expendables. Long thought dead after he became a ruthless arms dealer, Stonebanks has now re-emerged with vengeance on his mind. This presents the biggest challenge yet for Barney (Sylvester Stallone), his ex-SAS second-incommand Lee (Jason Statham) and the rest of the crew. Barney’s solution is to bust co-founder Doc (Wesley Snipes) out of jail and augment the

The Friends Life Tour of Britain is the UK’s biggest professional cycling race and will arrive in Chichester District during Stage 7 of the race which starts in Camberley and finishes in Brighton. Some of the world’s best cyclists will pass through our towns and villages and ToBi is hoping as many people as possible across the community will come along with their Union Jacks and cheer the riders

The day will be a fantastic opportunity to get up close to all the action, and enjoy a day out at the same time – why not bring a picnic, then spend some time in one of our towns, villages or attractions? ToBi visited Petworth Primary School just before the end of term to spread excitement about the event.

Celebrate a decade of the Get Active Festival IF YOU’VE BEEN INSPIRED by the Commonwealth Games, then look out for the popular Get Active Festival which takes place in Chichester on Sunday 7 September 12pm – 4pm at Oaklands Park. Get Active will be celebrating ten years of encouraging people across the district to take up sport so this free festival promises to be bigger and better than ever. With more than 40 local sports and arts clubs from around the district attending, there is bound to be something that will have adults and children hooked, whatever their age or ability. 12-year-old Holly Heffron started training with St Gerards Boxing Club as a direct result of attending the Get Active Festival last year. Her mum, Tracey Sheehan, said: “Holly’s very sporty anyway. We went along to Get Active, and she tried lots of different sports such as orienteering, gymnastics and the climbing wall. She tried boxing and thoroughly enjoyed it. “Gerry Lavelle, the coach, said she had some natural ability and to come along but she couldn’t at that stage because she was playing

football with Brighton and Hove girls’ team. She went along when the season finished and she’s loved it ever since. “Holly wants to do the best

• Celebrated Westbourne based theatre director, Roger Redfarn, is directing the Arundel Players production of Privates on Parade, written by Peter Nichols with music by Denis King as part of this year’s Arundel Festival. Privates on Parade opens at the Priory Playhouse Theatre, London Road, Arundel, BN18 9FA on Saturday 16 August until Saturday 23 August starting at 7.45pm. Tickets cost £14 and are available by calling the Arundel Players Box Office between 9am and 9pm on 07523 417926. According to Roger: “Privates on Parade is a witty musical parody, laden with comic innuendo and a jaundiced account of post-war colonial politics which is based on the author’s real life experience in ENSA in Singapore and Malaysia during the communist insurgency in 1948.” The play, which contains strong language and some nudity, was first performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford-upon-Avon and later transferred to the Aldwych Theatre in London where it won

an Olivier Award for Best New Comedy. Roger, who has enjoyed over 50-years success as a professional director both in this country and internationally, said: “I hope the audiences will appreciate and enjoy the rich ‘music hall’ humour and find the mix of colourful army service characters food for thought.” For any further information about the Arundel Players visit www.arundelplayers.org.uk • Following a hugely successful debut in 2013, Valley Challenge 2014 promises to be even bigger and better.

Should alcoholic drinks carry health warnings?

HEALTH WARNINGS on alcoholic drinks should be introduced to combat problem drinking, a parliamentary group says. The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Alcohol Misuse said labels should warn about the harmful effects of drinking. It wants political parties to commit to 10 recommendations to minimise alcohol-related problems in the UK - including cutting the drink-drive limit. The government said it was working to reduce excessive alcohol consumption and tackle sales of cheap alcohol. The recommendation document written by the group says: “Health warnings are a familiar and prominent feature on all tobacco products. Likewise, detailed nutritional labelling is ubiquitous on food products and soft drinks. “Yet consumer information on alcohol products usually extends no further than the volume strength and unit content. “In order to inform consumers about balanced risk, every alcohol

label should include an evidencebased health warning as well as describing the product’s nutritional, calorific and alcohol content.” Among their recommendations, the MPs call for a reduction of the drink drive limit, the strengthening of regulations surrounding alcohol marketing and the introduction of a mandatory minimum price per unit for alcohol. They also recommend a national public awareness campaign on alcohol-related issues, training for social workers, midwives and healthcare professionals and to make alcohol treatment available to 15% of problem drinkers compared with 6%

currently. Conservative MP Tracey Crouch, chairwoman of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Alcohol Misuse, said: “The facts and figures of the scale of alcohol misuse in the UK speak for themselves - 1.2 million people a year are admitted to hospital due to alcohol; liver disease in those under 30 has more than doubled over the past 20 years and the cost of alcohol to the economy totals £21bn. “Getting political parties to seriously commit to these 10 measures will be a massive step in tackling the huge public health issue that alcohol is.” Jackie Ballard, chief executive of

Alcohol Concern told the BBC urgent action was needed to tackle the issue of alcohol misuse. Alcohol Concern’s Jackie Ballard: “This is about individual education and knowledge” She said: “Alcohol is related to about 60 different health conditions. People think about liver disease as being caused by alcohol. They don’t think about increased blood pressure, increased risk of strokes, heart attacks, even cancer. “So we’re talking about a major problem. The MPs in this report describe it as a pandemic.” However, Sarah Hanratty, deputy chief executive of the Portman Group, which was established by the UK’s leading alcohol producers to promote responsible drinking, said 80% of people drank “well within” the government’s recommended guidelines. She told the BBC News Channel that “graphic” health warnings on alcohol packaging would be a “step too far”. “I think there’s lots of information out there for people. The industry

here is doing incredible amounts of work in terms of voluntarily putting the government’s guidelines on alcohol. “Just look at the back of your label and you’ll see things like the number of units in there, the chief medical officer’s guidelines and all sorts of other useful information out there for consumers,” she said. It comes as Northern Ireland’s health minister Edwin Poots says there is merit in the idea of charging fees to patients who end up in A&E as a result of alcohol or drugs. A government spokeswoman said: “We are taking action to reduce excessive alcohol consumption and to give people better information about the impact drinking can have on your health. “Through our Responsibility Deal, the drinks industry has committed to putting unit and health messages on 80% of all bottles and cans. And we have banned alcohol sales below the level of duty plus VAT to tackle the worst cases of very cheap and harmful alcohol.”

First steps back with ‘parkrun’

I haven’t run since April when I completed the London Marathon with a very painful knee. When I was ordered to give it complete rest I felt mortified. I asked how long should I give it complete rest for? The answer was ‘until it is better’! Great! It took some getting used to not running, even to the point where my children were running and I was on my bike. It looked really strange and as if it was cruelty to children, as people passed the adult (me) slowly riding the bike shouting encouraging remarks to

Denise Kelly Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist the children. For many years in our family it has, of course been the other way round, but now not only can the children run with ease, they can run faster, and probably longer. I sigh deeply at the thought of never

keeping up with the little speedies again! Anyway, last Saturday, 9 August we were asked by some friends to go to the parkrun, in Oaklands Park, Chichester. This was something I was very aware of in London as several of our friends take part with their families, but I didn’t know it was here in Chichester. Apparently last Saturday was the second event. It had a good turn out and what I love about it so much is that it encourages all ages, all abilities and types of runners to run together. It was a really lovely vibe and a great feeling of sportsmanship. So what is parkrun? Parkrun organizes free, weekly, 5km-timed runs all around the world. They are open to everyone, free of charge, and are safe and easy to take part in. These events take place in pleasant parkland surroundings and they actively encourage people of all abilities, to take part, from those taking their first steps in running to Olympians and from juniors to those with more experience. Everyone is welcome.

Stress and anxiety relief CAN YOU imagine your life without stress? Any kind of stress leaves its mark on your mind and body. Even positive events such as a wedding or the birth of a child bring with them some stress and anxiety. Acupuncture is a proven and effective treatment for stress relief

and is becoming increasingly popular. Through unblocking channels with needles, the Qi in the body is able to flow freely in order to restore harmonious balance in the body. So you will find reprieve from physical symptoms, such as tense muscles, muscular pains

So, as my son nearly lapped me, I realised I just had to ‘let it go’ that I was no longer faster than him. Considering we were supposed to run it together and he stayed with me for all of 10 seconds at the very beginning of the run, it was still an amazing feel good run to introduce me, with ease, back into the running world again. This is the information you will find on the official Chichester parkrun website. Come along any Saturday and give it a go, it’s a fantastic social event that I can see growing into something very special. What is Chichester parkrun? It is a 5km run - it’s you against the clock. When is it? Every Saturday at 9:00am. Where is it? The event takes place in Oaklands Park, Chichester, West Sussex,

PO19 6BB. What does it cost to join in? Nothing - it’s free! But please register before your first run. Only ever register with parkrun once. Don’t forget to bring a printed copy of your barcode (request a reminder). If you forget it, you won’t get a time. How fast do I have to be? We all run for our own enjoyment. Please come along and join in whatever your pace! Chichester parkrun needs you! It is entirely organised by volunteers email chichesterhelpers@parkrun.com to help. We’re friendly! Every week we grab a post parkrun coffee in Bertie’s Café, located upstairs inside the Rugby Club in the north-east corner of Oaklands Park - please come and join us!

Alternatively, acupressure/ Chinese massage can be applied to people who have a fear of needles. However, acupressure (massage) is often applied to clients after acupuncture in order to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. In fact, in some cases, acupuncture being used to treat one condition can actually help detect another, more severe illness that has not been previously identified. In such cases, acupuncture aids in early diagnosis and treatment. Remember, acupuncture/ acupressure is just one method of relieving stress. It’s also important to learn positive and productive ways to cope with stress on a daily

basis, thereby combining them to help you enjoy a happier and healthier life. Dr Feng Wang is an associate of the ATCM and has been practising his profession for over 20 years. He has been volunteering at CancerWise in Chichester, which has helped to improve the health of many people. He also has his own clinic in Chichester city centre.

Prudent cupid: being sensible with money the way to a woman’s heart FORGET A SIX PACK, a bulging pay packet or an Oxbridge degree – British women believe being responsible with money makes a partner more attractive. According to research from Experian, the global information services company, three quarters of British women (75%) say financial responsibility is an attractive quality in a partner – on a par with their intelligence (74%) and more important than appearance (65%), education (47%) and background (26%). Only a good sense of humour (87%) is rated as more attractive. But the research should not be interpreted as suggesting women are only interested in the size of a partner’s pay packet. On the contrary, women ranked wealth (21%), salary (34%) and occupation (32%) far lower in importance than sharing the same life goals (59%) or family plans (64%) when choosing a partner. British menfolk may not prioritise a sense of financial responsibility to the same degree (55% - 20 points lower) – and lean slightly more towards appearances

(67% - two points higher) – but being responsible with money is nevertheless considered more important than a partner’s education (41%) or background (21%). Men also put less importance on a potential partner’s wealth (18% - three points lower), salary (25% nine points lower) and occupation (19% - 12 points lower) than their female counterparts – although there is a notable discrepancy between the sexes in their view of the importance of life goals (45% - 14 points lower) and family plans (36% - 28 points lower), which could be a potential cause of friction.

Financial prudence is of even greater importance across the pond. 95% of married couples surveyed in the US said that being financially savvy was a key factor for them in choosing their spouse, compared to 66% of married Britons. One in two (50%) also said that credit scores were important to them, compared to just 14% of UK counterparts. Yet US couples also put far greater stock in their partner’s physical attractiveness – 86% rated this as important, compared to 64% of Brits. The importance of financial compatibility when it comes to playing Cupid is evident in British

couples’ approach to their joint finances. 70% claim they make all big financial decisions together, and won’t spend more than an average of £313.46 without their other half’s approval. Where financial harmony is lacking, the consequences are no laughing matter. 60% of respondents admitting to having had arguments with their partner over money (6% regularly), with over-spending accounting for half of all rows (51%). More seriously, one in 10 couples (11%) has had to postpone taking out a joint credit agreement, such as their first mortgage, because of one partner’s credit score. And additional Experian research has shown that 17% of Britons have seen their or their partner’s credit score harmed through their relationships. When couples’ finances become linked through joint financial agreements – such as a mortgage – their credit reports become linked. If one partner has a less than perfect history of managing money and repaying debt, it therefore could affect the other’s chances of getting

credit in the future and at the best rates. Among those couples whose credit scores had been affected by their relationship: · 20% found getting a mortgage more difficult or expensive · 8% were unable to secure one at all · 23% were unable to get a credit card · 21% were unable to take out store credit Julie Doleman, Managing Director, Experian Consumer Services, commented: “Talking about money and especially debt can be difficult for some, but if you and your partner have hopes and aspirations together for the future, understanding your financial history, is a really good starting point in realising your dreams for the future. “Financial compatibility can be an important part of a successful relationship. Using the information in your credit report and your score can help you plan a future together, be it buying your family home or starting a family.”

City take bragging rights Tuesday 12 August 2014 Sussex County League Division One Chichester City 3 – 1 Selsey

ON A WARM evening at Oaklands Park the home team enjoyed their first 3 points of their season. Selsey started the game with a high tempo and caused Chichester a few problems early on. Some neat play from the Selsey midfield in the 16th minute lead to a shot from distance which Anthony Ender dealt with down to his right. Selsey continued to attack and created another chance down the left in the 25th minute but this was blasted high and wide of Ender’s goal. Chichester’s only chance in the first half was a powerful drive from debutant Alex Fowlie in the 35th minute. Alex drove out from the back and produced a stinging shot straight at the Selsey keeper.

Chichester started to get into the game and controlled the midfield. Frazer Smith and Lewis Edwards were able to link up well down the left. HT 0-0 In the second half Chichester got out of first gear. Chichester started to press high up the pitch causing Selsey to make mistakes at the back. In the 57th minute, after all the play, Frazer Smith found himself in space and slotted home his first of the season. Chichester continued applying pressure, playing football in Selsey’s half. This allowed Tom Groom to get into the game more. Tom’s pace and movement was causing problems at the back for the home side. In the 65th minute two of Chichester’s new signings increased the lead. A powerful run and sweet shot from Ross Wolfe could only be parried into the path of Graham Bush to finish in style.

Guest picks up the gold

Chichester took their foot off the gas with 20 minutes to go allowing Selsey to produce their best passage of play. In the 63rd minute a powerful shot from 30 yards from the Selsey midfielder was flying in to the top corner before Ender produced the save of the match. In the 76th minute Selsey reduced Chichester’s lead. Neat play down the Selsey right lead to the ball being shifted across the box and fired home for 12 yards. This lead to the game opening up for the next 5 minutes until Chichester killed the game off with a 3rd goal in the 81st minute. A superb delivery into the box was connected by the head of Harry Gilbert but the ball only manage to hit the bar before Alex Fowlie was on hand to put it into the net.

CHICHESTER RACQUETS & FITNESS CLUB hosted a 9U County Tour event last Sunday (10 August). This grade 5, mixed singles, junior tennis tournament was the latest event to be staged at the Club in the current summer competition season. It was organised using a round robin format, each match comprising best of three tie-breaks to seven points with two points clear. The top two players from

each group progressed to the semi-finals. All other players received additional consolation matches. Third place and a bronze medal went to Elliot White, who beat his twin brother Max White 7-5, 9-7. Both players play their tennis at the Portsmouth Tennis Academy. Ross Wilson, a member of Chichester Racquets & Fitness Club, was runner up and collected the silver medal after losing to Connor Guest, in a very entertaining final 10-8, 7-2 to pick up the gold medal. Tournament organiser and Referee Peter Cook said: “Luckily the rain held off but, nonetheless, it was an extremely breezy day on court today, so huge credit must go to the players who maintained a very high standard of play throughout.”
