Petanque Club raises money for Sussex Air Ambulance

L

ast month, Adur Petanque Club played host to 14 doubles teams who attended the Charity Open held in aid of The Sussex Air Ambulance. All proceeds, including a super raffle were donated to the S.A.A. A cheque for £226 was presented

by County Councillor Brian Coomber to aid this worthy cause.

The winners Tony & Derick from the Handcross P.C. will have their names inscribed on The Peter Davey Cup to record their outstanding achievement. The highest placed pair from Adur P.C. were Ray & Noman who finished in 2nd place

The Adur Club is to hold its final 'Open' triples tournament of the season at Lancing Manor Park on 4 October next. Part of the proceeds are to be allocated to a fund being raised in order to support the Ladies Triples Team representing England at the FIPJP World Championship for Women to be held in Thailand. Our own Debbie Elcome is a member of that team.

The Club wishes them every success in their endeavours.

Local pubs raise £2100 for Lifeboat House in a series of charity events with RNLI and Shoreham Fire Brigade T

he 2nd Annual Portslade and Southwick charity trophy fundraiser, organised by landlords Chris Pobjoy of The Romans, Southwick, and Steve Bennett from the Stanley Arms, Portslade was held on Saturday 29th August.

The aim of the event was to raise funds for the new Shoreham Lifeboat House.

The event took the form of a football match between both pubs. The match was won by The Romans on penalties.

This was followed by a four-way tug of war between both pubs, the RNLI and the Shoreham Fire Brigade. In the final The Romans beat the RNLI (big surprise). Afterwards everyone went back to the hosts pub – this year The Romans. What followed was a series of fundraisers...BBQ, Raffle and Auction... this raised a fantastic £2,100.

The landlords, Chris Pobjoy and Steve Bennett, want to thank all for their support and look forward to next years third annual charity event.

A

utumn is in full swing by now. Colourful leaves transform the trees and as the nights draw in, animals and insects begin their winter hibernation.

Wildlife Watching – Fungi A warm wet autumn results in a wonderful array of mushrooms and toadstools. Woodlands, both deciduous and coniferous, and old pastures are the best places to find fungi. However they can be found everywhere – in parks, gardens and on lawns.

The mushrooms and toadstools visible at this time of year are the fruiting bodies. The mycelium or main part of the fungus is hidden from view in the ground or in rotting matter. Fungi play a vital role in 6 INSIDE 1009.indd 6

Autumn produces some of nature’s most vibrant colours with deciduous trees and shrubs dropping leaves by a process known as senescence. As chlorophyll, the green pigment in leaves, starts to break down, other pigments show through to give yellows and oranges, reds, blues and purples. Ideal conditions for the best autumn colours are sunny days followed by crisp, cold nights but one stormy night can easily strip hedgerows and woodlands of leaves at this time of year and change the whole look of the landscape.

One of the best ways to help wildlife in Sussex is in your own garden or green space.

Gardening Tips • Leave mature ivy uncut if possible, as it is an excellent late source of nectar for insects.

• Make a leaf pile for hibernating mammals and ground-feeding birds overwintering in the UK.

Policing in our community A message from Chief Inspector Asser.

An exciting opportunity to merge both Worthing and Adur police has presented itself, which is currently subject of a review. Our district council has already merged some of the services provided and Sussex Police is seeking to gain similar benefits in merging both the districts under a single district commander, within the next few months.

The amalgamation of the districts represents an opportunity in making best use of the resources available to us and in delivering a first class service to the residents of both Worthing and Adur. I, as the District Commander for both districts, seek to reduce crime on the districts and to focus on those crimes you and other residents tell us are important to the community.

James Asser District Commander, Adur

New Scams There have been at least two new scam letters circulating to my knowledge and the details are as follows.

The Council is aware of some scams across the South East where residents receive a telephone call from a person pretending to work for the local borough council. They are told they have either paid too much council tax and they are entitled to a rebate or that they have not paid enough and need to pay more or they will be fined. The caller then asks for bank details.

Anyone who receives these calls is being advised to not give out any personal information and report it to Consumer Direct 08454 040506 and to use the Consumer DIrect website (link opens in a new window) for practical advice and support The second was an email inviting me to claim a refund from HM revenue and customs.

I was suspicious, the second part was asking for my credit card details.

I checked on the HM customs website and found the following: http://www. hmrc.gov.uk/security/examples.htm

our CommunitY needs you. You have probably heard of the Lions Club, the biggest service organisation in the world. They are inviting you to go along and find out more about who they are and what they do.

The Lions have been in existence in Adur for over 50 years and has raised thousands of pounds for national and international causes. However, much

INSIDE 1009.indd 11

of their time is spent helping those around us with small things that can make an enormous difference to their lives. Perhaps driving elderly people to a Christmas dinner or a coach trip out with a cream tea, donating money for dressing up clothes to a local playgroup or providing a stair gate to a needy parent Aside from fund raising they also

enjoy a good social scene with various activities ranging from quizzes, theatre trips, skittles and wine tasting to learning to play croquet, a surprisingly fun evening for all who took part.

Fund raising can also be fun: they run a Greyhound Charity night once a year and have run the Transport Fayre at Buckingham Park, Shoreham for the last 32 years. Both of these require a lot of organising but are also enjoyable for all involved.

Adur East Lions are hoping that some more local people who may have an hour or so to spare every couple of weeks could help them to make a difference to our local community. If you would like to get involved do give them a call. They welcome new faces, whatever age you are and even if you only have a little time to spare Go along and see what they have to offer. You might enjoy being a Lion and find it a rewarding experience.

They will be holding an informal information evening (with nibbles) in the Function Room at the Royal George Pub, Upper Shoreham Road (opp.

Tescos, Holmbush). To find out more, in a relaxed atmosphere, please contact any of the Lion members below or email for further information to: membership@adureastlions.org.uk

Please telephone Lion Chris Hilliard 01273 885186, Lion John Taylor 01273 887339 or Lion Val Roberts 01903 751259 to let them know you are coming along.

YOU ARE INVITED TO JOIN THEM ON FRIDAY 23RD OCTOBER at the Royal George 7pm. dur East Lions Club Charity Trust is a Registered Charity No.1081845.

Claire Cook from independent mortgage and financial advisers Talk Money, gives essential advice

First time buyers return to the market r

eCent statistiCs from the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) show that first time buyers are returning to the market. Their August survey shows that that the number of first time buyers rose by 36% in the month. The same month last year saw a rise of 8%. The NAEA see this as a positive sign for the market.

The average number of house-hunters decreased from 292 in July to 238 in August, something the NAEA have put down to the holiday season. The average number of houses available for sale also rose from 59 in July to 64 in August. The number of house sales agreed per branch decreased from an average of nine to eight.

There are always seasonal variations, but in my own experience I have noticed the enquiries from first time buyers have increased. Some have told me that they are finding it difficult to find a property so although there is the will to buy, it seems that the process can be slow. Many first time buyers have managed to get a deposit together from family, something which makes all the difference in today’s mortgage market. If you have a 15% deposit you will have some choice of deals, although limited. A 25% deposit will give you access to a much wider range of competitive rates.

something after you have applied, this could throw your whole application. For example, if you have loans or credit cards, find out exactly how much you owe. Have the statements at hand.

If you earn bonuses at work, dig out your last twelve months payslips and your last P60, this will help your adviser to find exactly the right lender for you. Don’t be surprised if the lender asks for bank statements, many are doing so at the moment.

For whole of market advice on mortgages, please call Claire Cook on 01273 224667. We offer a free initial consultation to Latest Homes readers.

Independent Financial Advice for an Independent You

Are lenders lending?

Lenders are offering mortgages, but they seem to be very difficult in their requirements. They have tightened their lending policies and there seems to be no leeway. This means that if you are only slightly outside policy, they will to the criteria like glue. Many lenders use online systems, so you could find your application being declined because the loan amount is just a couple of hundred pounds over what they can offer you. A slight tweak can often sort this situation, but they won’t tell you that!

What to do?

To get the best chance of actually getting a mortgage offer, it would be wise to speak to a whole of market adviser, one who has access to all the lenders. Not only will they find the best rate for your circumstances, they will place your mortgage with the lender most likely to make an offer to you. An experienced adviser will know what the lender’s policies are, and will deal with any hurdles that come along.

Give yourself the best chance If you are applying for a mortgage now, you should be prepared with all of your information upfront. Don’t let them find

65% of motorists say Independent Garages are best for service Honest John Survey (www.honestjohn.co.uk/goodgarageguide) reinforces Which? research** that sees independent garages most popular for servicing

C

onsumer champion, Which? is reporting that big brands aren’t always best when it comes to sales and servicing. This follows research amongst its members to obtain feedback on their experiences when buying and servicing their car. This data reinforces the findings of authoritative motoring website, HonestJohn.co.uk, which revealed that 77% of motorists use the same garage every time they need their car serviced because they know and trust them. And 65% rate a local independent garage as likely to provide the best service. Indeed, local garages came out on top for all aspects of vehicle maintenance – from overall servicing to MOTs, general repairs and tyres.

“Our survey shows that motorists value a local garage or dealer who they can rely on to do a good job. Local independent garages must be doing something right because they come way out on top in all the areas we asked consumers about,” explains Honest John. “With 95% of the respondents to the survey driving their own vehicle rather than a company car, this highlights a very important sector of the car market which, although keen to find the best price, also puts considerable value in long-standing relationships with local garages.

“We were also pleased to see that today’s motorists are no pushover if they feel they haven’t received good service.

More than half (57%) said they would take their vehicle back to the garage if they were unhappy with the work with 88% expecting repair or replacement of the faulty part free of charge. And nearly two thirds (61%) said they would go to the local trading standards officer for assistance if they weren’t getting what they thought was the right response from the garage.

“Our survey demonstrates that consumers value trust and quality of service above everything when it comes to car repairs and maintenance. They know what they want from a service and expect some recourse if the job isn’t up to scratch.”

14

INSIDE 1009.indd 14

Key Survey Data Servicing: Just over half (54%) have their car serviced annually with the local independent garage coming top for servicing at 39%. However, just over 1 in 10 get a family member to service their car, which could present possible safety risks for the driver.

Loyalty definitely counts for car servicing with 77% using the same garage each time because they know and trust them. The majority (55%) paid between £100 and £250 for their car service.

MoT: For annual MoTs, 63% turn to their local independent garage, placing them head and shoulders above the competition. And loyalty was, once again, a key factor with 29% saying they always use the same garage and nearly 1 in 4 (24%) using a garage recommended by family or friends.

However, convenience is also an important influence for MoTs with 19% choosing a garage that’s close to home or work.

Tyres: This was the only sector where the retail chains almost out-performed the independent local garage. The independent local garage is the most popular place to go for replacement tyres at 45% closely followed by retail chains such as Kwik Fit or ADT at 41%.

Price is definitely the biggest influence for tyres, with 42% shopping around for the cheapest deal and only 24% going back to the same place they have previously used.

Consumer Rights: A phenomenal 80% of motorists said they feel very or fairly confident when going to a garage for servicing or repairs, with over half (57%) feeling certain that they would be able to take the car back to be repaired free of charge if there were problems with the original work. This indicates that motorists are generally happier with garage service and repair than the volume of complaints suggests.

If you are in need of an independent garage to service your car then contact Phil Cook or Steve Rice at Prestige Autotech on 01273 446776. They are located at Hall Business Centre, Dolphin Road, Shoreham, behind DAF Commercial.

Samins … a taste for the real East I

have found “Shorehams’ finest takeaway”, “A real gem in a town with a wide choice”… just two of the compliments paid to Samins Curry and Tandoori takeaway.

I always enjoy a visit to the shop in Middle Road firstly because I get a discount of 10% but more importantly because of the warm welcome I receive from owners Mo and Qumar Uddin. In these hard times they always wear a smile, perhaps it is from the knowledge that their food is sourced fresh daily from local suppliers and that once a customer you will remain a friend and a customer.

So what is on the menu? Well you will find all of your favourites such as England’s favourite dish, Chicken Tikka Masalla as well as a range of curries to suit all tastes from the richly sauced and mildly spicy Bhuna to the extremely hot Phall. I usually go for the fairly hot madras curry which I find has a superb range of spices and a hot but still tasty feel, it reminds me of my visit to that busy bustling city, a tempting mix of flavour and colour.

Look deeper into the menu and you find unusual delights.

Shoreham Fire Station i

n the daYs before the existence of the fire brigade, towns such as Shoreham had parish-pumps or small manual fire engines that were manned by volunteers.

With the passing of the Watching and Lighting Act of 1835 however, it became a legal requirement for towns and villages to provide a fire service. In 1847, The Towns Police Clauses Act allowed the purchase of fire appliances, fire stations and payment of crew out of the poor rates. From this point fire brigades began to be set up all over Sussex.

Before the Second World War, there were two separate fire brigades operating in Adur District. Shoreham Urban District Council maintained theirs in a building beside the old site of their offices, while Southwick UDC housed their fire vehicles and office in Butts Road. In the days before telephones, a person would have to race to the fire station to raise the alarm. The fire bell would loudly sound and young boys would run to relay the message to the firemen who would need to live nearby. By the beginning of the 20th century the advent of a nationwide telephone system meant electric bells could be installed in firemen’s homes, which could be activated from the fire station itself.

In 1937 with the threat of war with Germany looming, the Government created the Auxiliary Fire Service. This provided trained part-time fireman to support the existing brigades. In December 1938, Greystones, a large house on the west side of The Street at Old Shoreham’s caught fire. The fire brigade attended but the location of the fire hydrant was not immediately known and it took 45 minutes to find it. The fire was caused by an electrical fault and caused extensive damage to the property.

In 1941, following the formation by the government of the National Fire Service, Shoreham and Southwick’s fire brigades were merged. The Butts Road site was enlarged to house all of their equipment and vehicles. All over the South of England local fire brigades and the auxiliaries were stretched to full capacity by the amount of fires and other incidents caused by the wartime aerial bombardment. A national command structure was brought in and West

24 INSIDE 1009.indd 24

Sussex became part of Region 12 of the National Fire Service. During the war, German bombs caused a number of fires in Shoreham including one on the rail bridge which at that time had a gas pipe running along it that burst spectacularly into flame.

At the end of the war, local councils wanted the control of their local fire services back from central government.

The government was reluctant to relinquish control however as the national system had worked well. As a compromise, control of local fire services was passed to the county councils. West Sussex Fire Brigade sited its control headquarters in Worthing. From 1948, a 999 call would go first to a GPO operator who would alert the nearest local fire station who would then set off their sirens.

On January 1st, 1949, Shoreham fire brigade were called to Old Shoreham Toll Bridge where in icy conditions and an 80 mph wind, a double-decker bus blew off of the bridge and landed in the mud below. Thankfully it was low tide, nobody was killed and the fire brigade rescued 11 people.

In December 1954, Shoreham fire station moved to its present home in Stoney Lane. Although it was active from that point, the official opening was on the 14th May 1955. In 1959 the fire fighters were called to a huge blaze at the Spring Grove laundry in Steyning. As well as Shoreham and Steyning fire appliances, a water tender from Henfield, and pumps from Storrington and Partridge Green were also needed to bring it under control.

By now the county’s 999 calls were

being answered directly by Worthing Fire Control where operators would co-ordinate the incident by ringing the nearest stations who would set off their own alarms and telephone their personnel. In the late 1950s Worthing Fire Control also had a VHF radio system shared with the police, which could put it directly in touch with the drivers of the fire appliances. By the mid 1960s the fire brigade had their own VHF frequency and future upgrades continued to improve the communications systems. The fire at Datsun UK in Lancing in 1973 was so huge it needed 100 fire fighters from local stations to deal with it. In 1981 Shoreham’s fire crews were in the news again when a ship in the harbour, the MV Frisian Star, began leaking toxic chemicals with flammable fumes.

In the early 1990s the fire service’s communications system became computerised and fire crews were issued with pagers for the first time to alert them to a ‘shout’. The West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is today still part of West Sussex County Council and has 28 fire stations across the county. Today Shoreham fire station is variably crewed, and is home to two water tenders with ladders, a breathing apparatus support unit and a super G 4 x 4 off road vehicle.

The Shoreham fire brigade are on average called out to in excess of 500 incidents per year, including attending road accidents and cases of flooding. In addition, Shoreham airport is home to SARFS, the Shoreham Airport Rescue And Firefighting Service, which has its own crew and four vehicles with specialist equipment to deal with incidents involving aircraft.

Southwick Drop-in Centre pulls in the crowds!

New drop-in centre opens its doors - why not go along?

A

new drop-in centre in the heart of Southwick opened its doors recently to scores of older people keen to seek information about services and clubs in the Southwick and Shoreham area.

Pioneered by the Adur Older Persons’ Network, the dropin centre is the direct result of views expressed in a recent survey for the over 50s.

“We’re offering exactly what older people said they’d like to have in their neighbourhood” says AOPN’s business development officer, David Griffiths who was instrumental in securing District Council funds for the project. “They can come here for information on local support groups, a health and well-being ‘check-up’ with from the Community Partnership Team, or simply to have a chat and a cup of tea.”

Trained nurse and health advisor, Alison Travers, welcomes the opportunity to keep in touch with local older people. “It gives people the chance to make initial contact with the CPT 28 INSIDE 1009.indd 28

and chat through any health or lifestyle concerns. We can then follow this up with a home visit.”

Southwick resident, Ena Barr, who is actively involved within the community, values the new drop-in centre as a place where people living on their own can come and make friends. “It’s been lovely to come and talk to someone – group activities are always better for people on their own.

I’ve had my blood pressure taken and been able to chat to Alison about my health, situation and how best to cope.”

The Southwick Drop-in will run every Monday morning and include a range of regular activities for both men and women – gentle exercise, arts and craft classes, jewellery making, and manicures/pedicures – and a programme of special events and speakers.

For more information call AOPN team community engagement workers Peter and Louisa: 01903 854996.
