Gridlock at waste site

GRIDLOCK at the Bognor Regis waste site brought its surrounding business park to a standstill.

A queue of up to 24 cars overspilled from the entrance road to the amenity site on the Arun Business Park after cuts to the tip's opening hours.

THe last three or four vehicles stretched back on to the A29 and reached the bridge over the Aldingbourne Rife. THere were at least four cars in the queue for the first 30 minutes after the site opened.

THe owners of the privately run business park are threatening to stop paying their rates if the situation continues.

Mike Sergeant, one of the three directors of Arun Business Park Ltd, said: "THe site pays £150,000 in business rates. We have to ask do we want to carry on paying it if the council are going to block us from doing our business.

"In the queue of cars, there were two who turned around and drove away. THat could be two potential customers lost.

"THis situation could go on all the way through the winter.

"THere are 25 units on the site. Firms have been here some 20 years but if their owners turn up for work just before the tip opens they will not be able to get into their businesses now."

Roger Caplin, the managing director of Electair Exports, said: "THis is as bad as we thought it was going to be. THis is not even the high gardening season when the tip

is really busy. It is going to be a lot worse then.

"THis situation is going to cost us business if it continues. People will say they can't get on to the site and go away.

"If they opened the tip at 7.30am or 8am it would not be a problem because people would be able to drive in and out straight away before we opened," he said.

West Sussex County Council agreed to shut Bognor's amenity site on THursdays and Fridays from the start of this month to save money.

Opening hours on the other days were also reduced and charges introduced for certain types of rubbish.

THe first day of the site's closure last THursday saw 15 potential users turn round at its locked gates in just 15 minutes from 10am.

At one stage, a queue of six cars quickly formed as motorists failed to realise they could not gain entry. THe one person to arrive on foot during that period was Chichester Road resident Robert Little.

THe 48-year-old had two carrier bags of items with recycling, household waste and some small electrical items.

"It's not so good to have the tip closed," he said. "I come here every week. I'm quite angry about being caught out. You are encouraged to recycle and then the council does this."

Safer roads plans for Felpham go on show in the village HUNDREDS of residents turned out to have their say about the future of Felpham's roads.

THe turnout ensured Monday's display of traffic calming and pedestrian safety measures for Limmer Lane and Vicarage Land was busy throughout.

THe proposals have been designed by West Sussex County Council as part of a £500,000 project to improve conditions for pedestrians and motorists in the village centre. Four options for each road were on display in Felpham Memorial Village Hall.

For Vicarage Lane, they involved variations of narrowing its junction and removing its central island, keeping the central island in Felpham Road, moving Felpham Road's north-west side kerb and installing a coloured high friction surface.

One choice also included new street furniture and improving the existing structures.

THe ideas for Limmer Lane feature up to seven parking bays outside the small shopping parade, putting in an uncontrolled crossing south of the junction, formalising the existing crossing point across Limmer Lane and a new uncontrolled crossing north of the junction. A coloured high friction surface featured in all of the suggestions.

One had a large public realm area created with new benches, planters and cycle stands.

Felpham resident Sheila White, was among the 105 visitors to the event halfway through its four hours, said: "Reversing into the parking bays outside

the shops is going to be as dangerous as it is parking there now. I can't see that is an idea people will want to have."

Her friend, Judith Lee, said: "I like the idea of keeping the central bollard so people can cross the road more safely by going to the halfway point.

"I've heard mention while I've been here of a call for a 20mph speed limit and a one-way system. Limmer Lane doesn't have a pavement so it should definitely have that limit. But at least the council are consulting this time, unlike last year."

Former Felpham parish councillor Geoff Farrell said: "My overwhelming view is that I'm glad these designs have been put on view. We didn't want a repeat of the situation last year.

"But I don't think any of these schemes will slow the traffic flow and I don't like coloured surfaces. THey look nice at the start but they are never maintained and then they look awful."

Kevin Moss, the council's project manager, welcomed the enthusiastic turnout. "It's really good to have this number of people come along," he said.

"THese are much nicer ideas than those from last year and we really want to listen to what people say about them.

"We will include what they say as long as its makes engineering sense and fits in with reducing traffic speed and improving pedestrian safety."

Last year's initial attempt to carry out the scheme was met with hostility as dozens of traders and residents crowded into the display to loudly protest about the ideas.

A BOGNOR REGIS man has been arrested on suspicion of starting a fire which damaged a scrapyard in the town.

THe 34-year-old man was arrested by police officers at an address close to Arfurs Yard in Ockley Road.

A Sussex Police spokeswoman said on Tuesday: "He has been arrested on suspicion of arson with intent and has been bailed until November 7."

THe yard has continued to open in spite of the blaze. THe flames wrecked a big shed, a caravan and a large amount of timber.

Eric Taylor, who manages the site, said: "It's business as usual for us.

We don't let things like this affect us.

"THe fire hasn't done us any favours, though. Several thousand pounds worth of timber has gone. It took a long time to get all that lovely seasoned timber together.

"It will also cost a few thousand pounds to clear the damaged materials as well, that's for sure."

Mr Taylor said he had given the police the CCTV hard drive for the site. He would be checking it with them.

THe current business had operated for three years and the site had been used for the scrap trade for 22 years.

"THe firemen did a fantastic job," he said, "and I'm thankful no-one was hurt by the fire."

Up to 25 firefighters fought the blaze at its peak. THe alarm was raised about 6am on Monday.

THey stayed at the scene for six hours and returned just before 7pm that day to ensure it the burning timber was fully out.

THe fire was at the rear of the 40m X 15m site to mean the fire crews had to force entry at the front gate of the premises in the packed residential area.

A West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "We did think about evacuating the residents from the flats closest to the yard to a nearby centre but we

decided, once we had got the fire under control, it would be safer for them to stay inside and keep their windows and doors opened."

Five windows in Sutherland Court were damaged by the heat.

One resident, Linda Earle, said she woke up and saw an orange light outside.

“I opened the windows and saw great balls of flaming fire, so I ran downstairs and found that the window sill was too hot to touch. I rang the fire brigade and they were here in minutes," she said.

She and her neighbours were told to leave their flats for a time but were allowed to return.

Another resident, Rebekkah Mills, said: “I went out to see what was happening and there were loads of people around lots of smoke and flames.

"My little boy woke up and wondered what was happening as he heard the sirens and saw flashing blue lights right outside our window.”

HOUSING experts want a new home to be built around Bognor Regis every 19 hours.

THe housing target which Arun District Council has been set for the next 20 years has been increased again - to nearly 1,000 properties a year.

If half of those are built west of the River Arun, it will mean 460 dwellings a year every year for the next 16 years.

THe soaring housing number is a blow to those who are campaigning to stop greenfield sites in the area being buried under a sea of concrete.

Arun has identified areas in Pagham, North Bersted and Westergate/ Barnham/Eastergate as key sites to help it achieve the ever increasing total as it continues work on its new local plan land use blueprint.

Arun's councillors will begin to debate progress towards the local plan at a meeting next Wednesday.

David Coleman, the council's planning policy team leader, said on Tuesday it needed to show it could meet what is known as the objective housing need determined by consultants in line with the government's planning guidelines.

"It's all about taking control and agreeing what the provision will be and where it will happen and planning what infrastructure is required to support that development," he said. "Growth is inevitable."

THe extra housing is needed to cope with a predicted soaring population in the district.

By 2031, the number of residents is set to rise by 30,600 persons - close to half of the current population of Arun's western area and well over the 24,064 who live in Bognor Regis town.

THis explosive increase is 20.4% more

than the current population and is crucially nearly 10% more than the council's previous estimate.

A statement from the council says the district is set to experience a population boom.

"Stronger population growth, driven by higher expected net in-migration, principally from other parts of the country, results in an increase in the assessed housing need to 18,360 homes 919 dwellings per annum - over the plan period (until 2031)," it states.

THis number compares to the 850 homes Arun had been told by a government planning inspector to consider. THat figure was already almost double the 580 dwellings councillors had set just a couple of years ago.

If councillors agree next March, thie latest and highest number of 919 will go forward for the resumed public examination into Arun's local plan by the inspector.

VOLUNTEERS seeking to restore Bognor Regis Pier have been given a further grant.

Bognor Pier Trust has received £9,972 from the National Lottery's Awards For All programme.

THe money will be used to deliver a volunteer programme which will include recruiting, training and retaining volunteers with a particular focus on involving older isolated members of the community and people born outside of the UK. It will enable volunteers to learn skills, take part in positive activities and reduce social isolation.

THe trust is engaged in a long-term multi-million pound plan to bring back the pier's golden days with the help of the Friends of Bognor Regis Pier.

Also benefiting from lottery backing in the latest round of awards was Home-Start Arun.

THe charity supports vulnerable children and their families and received £315,000 for a project to respond to vulnerable families' needs.

THe work is designed to help equip and empower parents overcome matters like family breakdown or domestic abuse.

f Firefighters tackle the blaze

Arun director of planning and economic regeneration Karl Roberts said he was hopeful the local plan would be agreed by next December.

"We are feeling we are in the right place for the local plan to be adopted by the end of next year," he said.

Meanwhile, developers have put forward proposals for their favoured sites around Bognor Regis because Arun's previous local plan is considered outdated.

But Mr Roberts said the proposed locations were in keeping with the council's proposals. "We are not getting any large scale developments which are running contrary to the sites we have been exploring in the local plan."

Cllr Ricky Bower, who leads Arun's planning service, said: "THe government is placing a great emphasis on increasing the number of houses that are built in order to ease the national housing shortage."

Elizabeth said: "We come down here about once a week. It's definitely less convenient having the waste site closed."

Clive said: "I don't understand why they have done this. It could be a nuisance depending on whether you are having a turn-out at home and find things you want to bring down here or if you want to get rid of things just before they are being replaced."

THe couple had some garden waste and some household items from a clear-out.

Lib Dem county councillor Francis Oppler, whose ward includes the site, said: "It is a terrible idea to cut back on such a well-used service. THis has been a bad decision by the Tory-run county council."

Janina wants to touch base with young people of town f Janina Cooper

by Kevin Smith kevin.smith@sussexpost.co.uk 01243 908506 ext 11 SKATEPARK founder Janina Cooper is leading a study to find out the leisure needs of the young people of Bognor Regis.

Janina has been elected as the chairman of the new youth service review topic team which has been set up by Bognor Regis Town Council supported by the county council.

She promised to use her position to make sure the voices of the town's 12 to 18-year-olds are clearly heard.

"THe review is about studying the needs of young people as they see them. I don't want this review to be lost and just gather dust after it has been finished.

"I want to ensure some action is taken off the back of this.

"I'm really positive that I want something to happen from it. It's my responsibility not to let the kids of this

town down. THey are 100% our future," she said.

"If we can't do something to provide them with a scheme they want, we should be well ashamed of ourselves.

"I really want the kids to be involved in making the decisions for this review.

I've already been in contact with the Scouts and the schools about it.

"I want to try to get a group of youngsters to form a youth committee to help to make the decisions and to drive the process."

Janina opened THe Base in Oldlands Way two years ago and has seen it become well established as a venue for stakeboarders, scooterists and BMW bikers.

Some 43,000 visitors have gone along to use its range of ramps and a foam pit to hone their skills and try out new techniques in safety.

Janina, 42, has two sons and grew up in Bognor Regis and his seen its leisure provisions change during those decades.

"Everybody who comes into THe Base says there's nowhere for young people to go.

"THat's why there's anti-social behaviour and that's why there are problems because they have got nothing to do," she said.

"A lot of that is to do with the cutbacks from central government which have flowed down and have seen the loss of the traditional youth clubs.

"THat situation is not going to be fixed by providing them with expensive cinemas or bowling alleys and facilities like that.

"THere has to be a team effort to provide something for our youngsters to do and enjoy."

THe review's goals include capturing the thoughts of young people about leisure facilities and finding out what motivates them to take part in their hobbies and how they can be best served.

A LIMITED number of places are still available from Bognor Regis teenagers to follow in the footsteps of Sophia Cobby.

Sophia, 16, was part of a National Citizen Service group last summer which helped community projects in the town.

Its members raised money for My Sister's House by holding a tea party, weeding and painting at the Jeneses community centre.

Sophia said: "NCS got me my first job.

THe manager said NCS looked really good on my CV and gave me a job.

"NCS boosted my social skills and boosted my confidence due to the social mix in the group."

THe next life-changing NCS programme is taking place this half term. THe countrywide initiative brings together 16 and 17-year-olds to

help build their confidence, mix with different social groups and inspire real change through community-based action projects in their areas.

THe half-term programme will begin next Friday with a three-day residential stay at Freshwater on the Isle of Wight.

Exciting activities there include kayaking, bush craft and mountain boarding. THe cost is £50 with bursaries available.

THis will be followed by the work in their community between October 25 and 28.

Cllr Stephen Hiller, West Sussex County Council's cabinet member for children - start of life, said: "THe team leaders see first-hand how these teenagers change in just a few days."

NEW swimming pool plans by Butlin's have been backed by Bognor Regis councillors.

THey have made no objection to the £30m proposal for the holiday resort.

THe two members of the town council's planning and licensing committee at Tuesday's meeting said they were happy with the major redevelopment.

But they had some concerns about the impact of noise from the users of the pool's outdoor river ride on the neighbouring properties along Sea Road.

THeir decision has been referred to the town council's clerk, Glenda Frost, to ratify before it is officially sent to Arun District Council for it to consider before the final decision is made.

Cllr Stephen Reynolds said he was happy with the overall plan but he was worried the open river ride could lead to extra disturbance being suffered by surrounding residents.

"THere could be some noise from the children screaming and enjoying themselves on the outside river ride. I would not want to hear it.

"Some of the ride is undercover but not all of it," he said.

Cllr Pat Dillon said: "I live about 8001,000 yards from Church Farm Holiday Village (in Pagham) and I can hear the children splashing about in its pool in

the summer but it's not annoying."

One aspect of the proposals would have a positive impact for every motorist in the Bognor Regis area, he said.

"Butlin's are going to put the gatehouse further into the site. More vehicles can come in off the road and so they should not be causing tailbacks down the main road. "I think there will be a minimum of 70-odd vehicles off the road at peak times when people are queuing to get in.

"THat should improve the access."

THe proposed car park close to the holiday's resort boundary with Sea Road would be screened by trees, he added.

As reported, Butlin's wants to build the swimming pool with external slides and the river ride on the eastern side of its site off Upper Bognor Road.

THe space will be created by demolishing 1,000 bed spaces in 260 units used by staff and guests.

THe existing swimming pool on the opposite side of the resort, close to the seafront, will be demolished and the area landscaped.

A single storey decked car park has been included in the plans. It will have 211 spaces on the ground deck and 208 on the upper deck.

Butlin's intends to build it during the second phase of construction work. THe company held a consultation last month.

Resort director Jeremy Pardey said then he expected the new pool - for 1,000 bathers - to be opened in the summer of 2018 if it was backed by Arun in January.

` Council tax changes deadline COMMENTS about possible changes for the some of the poorest residents in Bognor Regis should be made by this weekend.

Sunday is the deadline for views about Arun District Council's intention to cut its council tax reduction scheme.

Arun is considering changes to bring CTR in line with government changes to housing benefit and universal credit.

THese will cut the discount eligible homeowners will receive off their council tax bills.

Cllr Dudley Wensley, the council's deputy leader and cabinet member for corporate governance, said: "THe deadline for views on whether to change the CTR is fast approaching so I would urge anyone affected who has not yet commented to do so immediately.

"THe council has to make the right decision which is why it is so important that we hear people's views. Taxpayers have a right to expect excellent customer service being provided at the best possible value and Arun is working hard to achieve and sustain this.

"Any savings that the council makes on the CTR scheme could be invested into other services Arun provides which may in turn mean that residents across the district benefit."

THe past two years has seen the government's financial support to Arun reduce to leave the council with less money to put towards reducing council tax.

One-stop shop Arranging Insurance for insurance in Bognor Regis for over cover

25 YEARS

Business is booming for manager Mike and his team at Worrell and Fry

wading through the myriad of comparison sites and direct insurers promoting this offer and that deal, it is ever so reassuring to realise that not all insurance brokers are the same.

TALK to Michael Maskell about insurance and within the merest hint of time you’ll realise just why business is booming for Worrell Fry and Co Limited.

Worrell Fry, situated in busy Aldwick Road, has been satisfying customers for 25 years in Bognor Regis and their unswerving commitment to a principled approach means that not only do they have satisfied folks repeating their business, but a new tranche of clientele keen to let the experts do the work on their behalf.

The company, which prides itself on being innovative and excelling in identifying insurance solutions for both individuals and companies, takes time to identify specific requirements and make recommendations that offer wide ranging cover at competitive premiums.

Manager Michael explains: “Along with this modern approach to insurance systems we still maintain traditional values of professionalism and service which endorses our status of being a trusted insurance broker in Sussex, Hampshire and farther afield.”

The company insists on a personal touch when it comes to acting on behalf of their clients and in an era when it’s all the rage to go online and start

PARENTS taking their children to the Rose Green schools are no longer dicing with death.

A controlled crossing has been installed on Nyetimber Lane to link the Willowhale Estate area to its east with the infant and junior schools on the opposite side.

Mum Sophie Keijser-Petch is among those who have started the using the crossing outside Avisford Park recreation ground since it was recently switched on. She walks from her Rose Green home with her four-year-old daughter to and from school daily.

"THe crossing makes a great difference to us.

It makes it a lot safer because Nyetimber Lane is a busy road and motorists can drive quite fast along it.

"We used to have a long wait to cross the road before the crossing was there," she said.

"A motorist would stop for us one way but noone would stop in the opposite direction."

Sophie, 43, said the crossing had immediately become popular and she expected to use it during half-term as well for her daughter to play in the park.

"It's really good they have put it next to the children's play area on the recreation ground and linking with it with the new path across the grass," she said.

THe footway avoids the mud which used to stop people cutting across the recreation ground to Carlton Avenue on the way to the two schools.

THe crossing was installed by West Sussex County Council after a campaign by Aldwick parish councillors. A parish council spokesman said: "THis crossing will make it very much safer to cross the road at this location."

ONE set of public loos in Felpham is set to close.

Parish councillors said they could not afford to keep the site at Snook's Corner open once Arun District Council withdrew its support - likely to happen in 2017.

THey voted 6-0, with three abstentions, against funding the toilets and to talk to Arun about ensuring the conveniences at Blakes Road are opened throughout the year.

Cllr Paul English, of the parish council, said: "I don't want to see the toilets shut but it will cost too much for us to take over Snook's Corner. THe site needs work done on it.

"Once we start upgrading it inside, as a WC which is non-compliant with disabled access, we have to do all the work to make it compliant.

"It's a fantastic shame the money we have been putting towards these toilets has not gone into improving them."

THe parish council has paid £7,070 annually to Arun towards the upkeep of the toilets for about ten years but Cllr English said the failure to increase the sum in line with inflation meant it had become too little to maintain them.

Financial details provided by Arun to the parish council showed it would cost

£15,748 a year to maintain the Snook's Corner loos at the junction of Sea Road and Upper Bognor Road. THe £42,250 needed to update their facilities would be extra.

For the Blake's Road site, Arun intended to pay to keep them open between May 1 and September 30.

It would cost an extra £3,000 if the parish council wanted to have them open all year.

Cllr George Blampied said he believed both sites should be maintained.

"A lot of people come down and go past Snook's Corner and I believe they should be kept open, even half a year would do it. Arun have made up their minds the toilets will close," he said.

"It is up to this council whether it should provide for visitors to Felpham to have toilet facilities. THat's the way I read it. I would love to see Snook's Corner open, even if for only part of the year."

THe cost of taking on the toilets would be bearable for the parish council when the number of residents was considered.

Cllr Dennis Peerman said: "THe option for Snook's Corner was for it either close or to be taken on fully by this parish council. THere was no half and half measure."

Cllr Mary Harvey said: "We simply can't afford this. It's one thing after another."

Richard Wickens, the parish council's clerk, said every £1,000 of extra spending would push up its precept by 1pc.

RESIDENTS of Bognor Regis are being asked to spare some time and help change a young person’s life.

Volunteers play a crucial role in supporting young people at the FindItOut centres across West Sussex but more help is greatly needed.

THey are vital to providing help and guidance to young people aged 1325 years old, helping them to achieve their potential.

A roadshow for potential helpers is being held at Willowhale Library next Wednesday to raise awareness of the FindItOut service and to actively increase the number of volunteers within the centres.

It is taking place from 10-11.30am at

the library in Pryors Lane.

THe Bognor Regis centre in Cburch Path is among those which has vacancies. Around the county, the centre are visited by about 400 young people monthly as part of West Sussex County Council’s young peoples’ service. Volunteers do not need any previous experience or knowledge.

Cllr Stephen Hillier, the county council's cabinet member for children – start of life, said: “FindItOut centres provide a great deal of support to a lot of young people in West Sussex.

"Support includes help with money worries, finding a local job or just wanting to talk about sexual or personal health and lifestyle."

ONE in three electric blankets used around Bognor Regis could be faulty.

THe alarming statistic was released by firefighters as they prepared to host a free electric blanket safety testing session.

THis will take place from 9.30am until about 4pm next Tuesday at the town's fire station on West Meads Drive in Aldwick.

It is one of a series of testing events taking place across West Sussex.

Jackie Boyle, the community fire safety manager for West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, said: "Last year, we tested 375 electric blankets and more than a third of them carried a potential fire risk.

"Such a high proportion really highlights the value of getting them checked regularly.

"Sadly, in April this year, a man in his 70s from Littlehampton died as a result of a fire started by an electric blanket.

Charity says wood's future is safe WORMS Wood in Middleton is safe in our hands, a charity has pledged.

THe Woodland Trust said it would never allow the much-loved green space it manages to be covered in concrete.

THe Post reported last week the fears of Felpham parish councillors the wood could be swallowed up in Arun District Council's need for more housing.

But the trust's land and property manager, Nick Sheriff, said it was unaware of any plans for homes to be built there.

THe trust had a secure 99 year lease, from 1999, with Arun for the wood.

"I would like to reassure readers that the wood will not be built on as long as we retain a legal interest in the wood, which we have no intention of relinquishing.

"In the past, there have been discussions about allowing Arun to manage the site using volunteers in the local community.

"But it has always been our intention to retain a legal interest to protect the site.

"Arun are no longer in a position to take over the management of the woodland and, therefore, it is our intention to continue managing the woodland with the help of the local community and to ensure the woodland remains safe in our care."

Lovers of the wood reacted with alarm at any threat to its trees. THe wood covers 13.28 hectares and has 30,000 native trees. Many were planted by residents around 1999 when it was proposed by the Woodland Trust.

THose oaks, ash, maples, birches and cherry trees have soared into the sky.

Among those who help to maintain the area's natural beauty is Rohan Amick.

He said: "I would be disgusted, absolutely disgusted, if they used the wood for housing and I would make my

feelings known in a loud way.

"I would hold a meeting and get some opposition organised to show the complete lack of confidence we have in Arun. To me, the trees are special. THey are the lungs of the country. THey take the pollution we make, which is considerable, and convert it into oxygen.

"I want to make it clear how many people use this woodland and how much people care about it.

"So many people say it is lovely to walk out of their house and be in a wood. It makes a lot of difference to the area. It's good for children to come here.

"THey can see and see touch nature and it brings it alive from their computer and TV screens," he said. THe wood also attracted insects like butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies, he said.

Middleton resident Maxime Reeves visits the woodland most days with her two dogs.

She said: "It's a public area for dog walking and walking with your family. THis is a lovely natural area to have among the housing and we don't need more housing."

Former Middleton parish councillor Tony Wright helped to plant some trees.

He said: "I came here every time I could with the Woodland Trust. I think that helps to make the area more special.

"We are getting the rewards now, with trees that are 15-20ft high. It's reasonably peaceful and quiet. It's a wonderful area "It's difficult to know how many people come here. but it's easily upwards of 50 each morning and afternoon."

David Lilley, of North Bersted, joined the helpers a couple of months ago. He said: "THere is so much housing here already.

THat is what makes this wood so special."

Angry residents form action group to fight proposed homes in Pagham

by Kevin Smith kevin.smith@sussexpost.co.uk 01243 908506 ext 11 NINE concerned residents have signed up to lead the fight against thousands of homes in Pagham.

THe founding members of the action group of the Pagham and Aldwick Greenfields Action Movement came forward after its initial public meeting.

THey told one of the meeting's helpers, Cynthia Weeks, who will join them on the group, they were prepared to work to keep Pagham free of the proposed large scale housing schemes which could

total 3,000 properties.

She said: "Everyone is surprised and shocked at the sheer scale of the development. THey are also concerned about the infrastructure. THe roads are a big worry and then there's the flood risks."

At least another six people at last week's meeting used their signing in details to indicate they would be prepared to help the group.

About 200 people crowded into Aldwick and Pagham Scout Group's hut in Sefter Road, pictured above, for the session last Wednesday held by Rose Green residents Albert and Gill Homer. It was standing room only in the building which is

threatened by one of the proposed estates.

Taylor Wimpey wants to build up to 250 homes there and displayed provisional plans for the development three months ago and expects to submit its final scheme for planning approval soon.

Other housing proposals being prepared are at Hook Lane where 400 houses are set to be proposed.

Two further large sites in the area are potentially going to be developed. One south of Summer Lane for some homes - was shown by Hanbury Properties last month.

Two schemes for 130 properties in the centre of Nyetimber have already been approved.

Pagham Parish Council chairman Cllr Ray Radmall told the meeting last Wednesday the best way to oppose the proposed development was to gather verified facts about the proposed sites and the impact developing them would have on the area.

"We have to look very seriously to see if we can put together various qualified analysis to demonstrate this development would not be sustainable bearing in mind the roads, the schools and other things.

"If we employ the right consultants, and it has to be an independent professional who is prepared to stand up in a public inquiry, they will be able to prove this housing cannot be sustained because of our road infrastructure, sewage problems, flooding problems. THat's the key."

THe reason for the developers' interest was Arun District Council's lack of a local plan and its inability to meet the government's target of a five year housing land supply.

THis had caused its housing allocation from a government inspector to reach almost 1,000 a year for the next 15 years compared with 845 recently and some 500 a short time ago.

"Because of this, Arun is weak and I fear we could be hit with these planning applications this side of Christmas," he said. "THis is the time for developers to exploit that situation."

David Huntley, a fellow parish councillor, said: "We are going to resist all these schemes. People in Pagham don't want more than 100 houses. Here we are talking about 3,000.

"We are being dictated to by unelected inspectors and planning officials. THese houses are being built just to fulfil their quotas. THey are not worried about the electorate because they are going against our democratic wishes."

Mike Callow, a former geology teaching officer at Imperial College London, spoke about the area's soil conditions and how water drained away from it.

He calculated the immense amount of rainfall, 655 tons a day in downpours, on the sites and how it would have to be handled by the developers.

"THere are plenty of brownfield sites which can be developed. THey should leave these greenfield sites alone," he said.

It also hoped to take him further afield to neighbouring carnivals. Contact Sarah Norman on 01243 825535 for more details.

` Club's open days AN OPEN weekend is being held at a Bognor Regis club ahead of its reopening.

THe special days will give visitors of all ages the chance to look around the revived 39 Club.

THey will take place from 10am4pm on October 22 and 23.

Vicky Hennessy, who chairs the club's committee, said: "THey will enable people to come along, see what we want to do and tell us what they want. After it, it will be their club."

It is hoped the club will re-open at its traditional site on Church Path, off Glamis Street, in two months.

THe new committee has worked hard in the past six years to get the club started again. THey will be offering a drop-in cafe with drinks and snacks, wi-fi, pool table and board games for 11-14 year olds.

"We are not affiliated to any other organisation in the town. We are just us," said Vicky. "THis is a place for young people to come to after school, just chill out. We aim to start with one evening and go from there."

THe 39 Club was started nearly 50 years ago by Val and Ken Chapman.

THey ran a very successful cklub and people in Bognor Regis still have fond memories of their time attending its sessions.

Inna hopes young musicians in the town will join together VIOLINIST Inna Erskine wants to help young musicians in Bognor Regis to start the town's first youth orchestra.

Inna is sure the talent exists in the town to enable it to be combined into the musical group to play the works of some of the finest classical composers.

"It would be good to have a youth orchestra," she said. "Other towns have an orchestra but we don't. Yet playing music can do so much to raise a person's self esteem, increase their confidence and improve their focus and co-ordination."

She is hoping to fulfil her ambition while she updates the town's classical music venue of the Regis School of Music.

"I've brought a new look to the school and we have launched a new website and people can buy their tickets online now," she said. "THe first event they can do this for is the latest Save the Children Fund concert tomorrow."

Inna, 36, was the first member of her family to have a British passport. Her parents, Sasha and Nina Levtov, left the former USSR as its communist dictatorship broke down.

"THey were in the first wave of emigrants able to leave," she said. "It was a remarkable thing for them to do - to leave Russia with my two older brothers, aged two and six at the time, and not know where they were going. THey wanted to have a better life for their family than they could achieve in St Petersburg."

THe family came to Bognor Regis because an Oxford University student

who was studying in Russia for a year had connections in the town.

THey started giving musical tuition and began to work towards their dream of opening a school of music. As reported, they achieved this in 1996 and the town has benefited from their influence in attracting leading musicians to perform there.

Inna left Bognor Regis at 13 to study music at Purcell School in London before she went to university in London aged 18.

She took up the violin three years ago at her

new family home in Kent. "I had students from the age of six up to 82," she said. "I also held Boppin' Bunnies sessions for the under fives."

She also began to teach the instrument at the Regis School of Music in spite of the four hour round car journey.

"I've got three students but I've now moved back to the town centre with my family and I want to develop those classes and classical music in general for the younger generation. We need to attract a

new audience. THe youth orchestra, which will take time to develop, is one aspect of that. I would like to be able to give young musicians the chance to play instruments for a block of lessons.

"THey can move on to other instruments until they find one they like, without it costing their parents too much. To be able to learn and play music together is a wonderful thing. It is so creative."

Heart-stopping horrors wanted for monster prizes

MONSTER prizes are available for Halloween from a Bognor Regis store.

Gift vouchers worth a spine-chilling £500 can be won from Squires Model and Craft Tools.

And winning the Halloween Craft Bonanza from Squires couldn't be simpler.

Entries can be any handmade scary item linked to Halloween -witches' hats, monsters, ghouls, papier mache pumpkins and masks.

One lucky hopeful will collect the £250 first prize for frightening the judges the most. Further prizes of £150 and £100 will be available to those whose horror handy work also impresses the judges.

The deadline for the competition is October 31, of course, and entries must be taken into Squires at 100 London Road, Bognor Regis, PO21 1DD, before then.

Squires' owner Roger Lewis is staging the competition to provide some friendly fun at the scariest time of year.

He said: "Don't be frightened to enter our first Halloween competition.

"Ghost written entries will not be allowed but I hope as many people as possible take part to celebrate Halloween and the new life for Squires.

"We have plenty of stock which will bring a smile to the face of everyone thinking about a special occasion for

Halloween.

"People might not think that they have a ghost of a chance but I hope they enter and also take the opportunity to see what we can offer them.

"We are a one-stock craft shop and our customers can find plenty of goods for whatever they are planning for

Halloween.

"Whether it's making a witch's hat, conjuring up a ghostly presence or becoming a vampire, we will have what you want at prices which won't frighten your budget."

The company's premises in London Road are being revamped by Mr Lewis to create space for 50,000 products compared to the present 20,000 - to provide even more choice to meet every arts and crafts need.

His re-launch of a company he began in September 1992 comes as a sign of his renewed belief in his future. The positive feedback from his customers has encouraged him to take on more stock to ensure he has all the essentials

WIN £500 vouchers

needed for art and needlework.

This expansion has been supported by a steady stream of customers and has given Mr Lewis the confidence to plan the latest growth in his business.

The result will be a 6,500 square foot creative paradise to delight anyone who wants to be inspired to pick up a needle, do some crocheting or create a painting.

The work's first phase will involve a needlecraft and haberdashery section being installed at the front of the shop.

There will also be an expanded range of Daler-Rowney and Windsor and Newton artistic material as well as paper and calligraphy supplies.

Eye-catchingly coloured wools will be stocked as well alongside fleece straight off the sheep.

Railway modellers will also find plenty to keep themselves busy with their favourite hobby, while an extensive tool range will provide the means for all art and craft enthusiasts to start their latest projects.

In the meantime, the Squires Halloween competition gives them plenty to get their teeth into. The judges will be Bognor Regis Post representatives.

As Mr Lewis said: "Don't be spooked.

Enter our competition before October 31 to have the chance to win our fabulous gift vouchers. It could be a case of fangs for the memory for the lucky winner!"

Civic society's criticism of town scheme is attacked

f Thomas Elliott

Av

Bar & G r o t ri ia 01243 841912

SHOW-GOERS at a proposed theatre in Bognor Regis will generate at least £25,000 a day for the town, it has been claimed.

Felpham resident Ray Hagger said the sum showed why Bognor Regis Civic Society was wrong to criticise the latest scheme put forward by the Sir Richard Hotham Project.

THis features a 1,100-seat theatre on the Hothamton car park site. Mr Hagger says the venue is in keeping with the latest statistics which showed leisure activities were attracting a greater share of peoples' spending.

"With regard to the theatre's viability, they (the civic society) seem to forget this is all about regeneration and you cannot simply look at the running and operating costs but also to the economic benefits to the town in that the theatre, along with the restaurant and leisure facilities on the Regis Centre site, will attract visitors," he said in a letter to the Post.

"Research has shown that the average visitor spends £50 a day during their stay of which 35% is spent in the town's shops - the balance on food, drink and leisure activities.

"Recent research has shown people are now spending less on clothing and more on leisure activities, in particular eating out. If the theatre was only half full, that's £25,000 a day from theatre visitors alone - an additional annual income to the town's restaurants, shops and leisure facilities of around £10m a year.

` New houses plan to replace club

"Add to that, income generated by the shops, restaurants and leisure facilities on the Regis Centre site. I will let you do the maths.

"Now that's regeneration. THe spin off from improved tourism and cultural regeneration will be huge.

"Bognor is architecturally and culturally deprived, run down and suffers from an outdated image and poor reputation, associated with its economic decline and its social consequences, which in the long term will not help its employment prospects, local confidence and self-esteem.

"If we take notice of the civic society, and other detractors, nothing will change. We need to grab this opportunity with both hands and support this application."

Mr Hagger, of Cosens Way, said he believed the Sir Richard Hotham Project's latest version had met Arun District Council's four objections to its original proposals.

He accused the civic society of being opposed to any idea which was not its own and claimed it did not speak for the wider public.

THe Sir Richard Hotham Project seeks to redevelop the Regis Centre site with 6,358sq m of commercial space, including leisure, for mixed development, 192 flats, and the creation of a boardwalk.

As well as the theatre, the Hothamton site will contain a hotel and two shops.

PLANS have been revealed to redevelop the former Royal British Legion club in Bognor Regis with housing.

Lee Hall has asked Arun District Council for planning permission to build a terrace of four threebedroom houses on the site in Clifton Road.

His planning consultant, Nigel Locke, says in a statement: "THe clubhouse building is of substandard construction in a poor state of repair and is an eyesore site in what is an otherwise residential road of detached and terraced houses to the south side of the road, built probably in the 1920s.

"To the north side of the road, are detached bungalows and two storey houses that were probably built in the 1920s or 1930s."

THe proposed properties will be two storey and meet the council's requirements for living space.

"THe external appearance and design of the properties is to a traditional cottage-style design in keeping with the detached and terraced properties to the west," Mr Locke adds.

` New houses plan FOUR houses and two detached garages could be built in a Bognor Regis road.

John Parsons has asked Arun District Council for planning permission for the proposed development on 0.24 hectares of land behind 41-47 Pevensey Road.

Book Book sales sales tell atell story a story of success of success as as town's town's annual annual Halloween Halloween party party nears nears

PLENTY of scares are in store in a Bognor Regis park this month.

Rox Music and Arts returns to Hotham Park on October 29 with its popular free halloween fancy dress party.

THe event will provide a host of spine-chilling thrills from 1-5pm. About 3,000 people attended last year's party, pictured above, as it gains in popularity following its launch five years ago.

Rox marketing director Robin Parker said: "We wanted to put together an event where whole families can go along together instead of having just kids' parties during the day and the more outrageous adult events at night.

"It was amazing to see how many dressed up for the occasion. I think some of the adults were having a lot of fun trying to impress their friends with their skills in costume making and make up."

Prizes will be on offer at the party for the best dressed child in three age categories as well as one of the best dressed adult. THe Bognor Regis in Bloom team is also holding a pumpkin growing competition.

Children's rides, live music, a storyteller, crafts and caterers will complete the spooky occasion.

LOCAL history fans in Bognor Regis will have more time to delve into the past.

THe town's museum is staying open for longer this year. It will be welcoming visitors throughout next month for the first time.

Bognor Regis Local History Society chairman Greg Burt said: "We usually close at the end of October but we will be opening mornings in November on Tuesdays to Saturdays.

"We thought it made sense because we are open at the end of the month anyway for our popular Christmas special.

"It's another sign of progress for the society when you think we started 30 years ago in just two damp rooms in Hotham Park Lodge for a few hours a week for a few months.

"THis year, will see us open for eight months for up to six hours a day six days a week. It is due to the enthusiasm and hard work of our volunteers."

THe society staged its third book sale at the West Street museum last Saturday. About 50 people went along in its first 45 minutes as they sought out bargains among the boxes of secondhand treats.

THe society hoped the event would match the £200 raised by the previous sales.

"THere has been a lot of interest in the Bognor Regis and Sussex books in particular," said Mr Burt.

FIRE crews from Bognor Regis were among those who took part in a joint emergency exercise this week.

THe firefighters joined with those from Littlehampton to rehearse water incident techniques at Mewsbrook Park boating lake in Littlehampton.

THey supported the Environment Agency at Tuesday's event and worked with the county council's resilience and emergencies team.

Crew Commander Graeme Woods, who helped to organise the exercise, said: "Multi-agency exercises like this are a great opportunity to practise important skills with some of our partners in the community."

THe first 'incident' involved four firefighters working in the water with Environment Agency staff to contain a diesel spill.

THe second saw teams aerating the water as if a large milk spillage had occurred.

Home energy advice wins national award

f Jo Williamson, left, and Emma Pagett with the award

TWO home energy visitors are hot on saving fuel for Bognor Regis residents.

Jo Williamson and Emma Pagett have been praised for their work with Arun District Council's home energy visiting service.

THey were praised as an example of best practice by the energy charity, National Energy Action, at a national award ceremony in Manchester after they had won the community action award earlier this year.

Jo and Emma were invited by the charity to give expert evidence to an All Party Parliamentary Fuel Poverty and Energy Efficiency Group of MPs on the dangers of fuel poverty.

Jo said: "I told the MPs about the dangers of fuel poverty and how it can affect anyone of any age. Here at Arun we try our best to help people who struggle to afford to heat their homes properly during the winter months."

National Energy Action director Maria Wardrobe said: "More than seven per cent of households in Arun are experiencing the impacts of fuel poverty and local authorities and community groups working in partnership are vital to helping them."

Cllr Paul Wotherspoon, who is in charge of Arun's community services, said: "It is very pleasing that this important service is getting national recognition.

"With winter on its way, I would urge as many people as possible to use this award-winning service."

West Sussex tourist attraction Fishers Adventure Farm Park in Wisborough Green is getting ready for a week of ‘fangtastic’ fun and games this October half term.

Fishers will be launching their very own live Halloween production next week (22nd October onwards) entitled...‘The Story of Mervin The Monster’. An original script following the tale of a loveable Monster and his wicked Father, who falls in love with a kindly witch, and spends his whole life dreaming of becoming a dancer! The show could almost be likened to the well-loved story of Billy Elliott with a spooky twist. It will take place in the farm park’s 200-seater theatre, where the popular annual Pantomimes also are performed. The park welcomed over 7000 visitors last Halloween season, this year is set to be even more successful, with the launch of the ‘Gory-ent Express’ Train Ride Featuring real-life actors and special effects – a ride for all the family.

Katie Marsh from Alfold, a regular visitor to the farm, commented: “We love Halloween at Fishers! We’re really intrigued to see the new show... my daughter Jessica’s favourite is always the Gory-ent Express though!”

POST READERS CAN VISIT DENMANS GARDEN FREE OF CHARGE UNTIL 28TH OCT 2016

DENMANS

GARDEN

Tucked away, far from the hustle and bustle of the A27, just behind Fontwell Racecourse is a quiet gem of a garden.

Denmans was the garden to a minor stately home built about 1820 for Lord Denman, so there is, of course, a walled garden, and a conservatory – alive with the chatter of budgerigars, and a larger area for frost tender plants; at the bottom of the garden there is a large natural looking pond. The garden at Denmans is nearly 4 acres in size and its layout is such that visitors enjoy lots of quiet, small areas within the overall, for it is punctuated with statues, a nice pot or a warm sitting corner. It is a garden full of ideas to take home that can then be interpreted within smaller spaces. There is something about this garden, which is quite unlike many others. Its display is not only to do with flower colour, but foliage form, texture and the use of gravel lending the garden a Mediterranean feel.

A visit to Denmans Garden is more than just a delightful stroll around one of the foremost twentieth century gardens.

There is also the multi award winning

and fully licensed Garden Café which serves a selection of breakfasts, lunches, coffees, teas and a variety of delicious cakes. With seating either al fresco or inside in the beautiful covered terrace area, with the gentle strains of classical music in the background the café is the perfect stop for coffee, a piece of cake or lunch.

There are also a variety of gifts available in the beautiful gift shop.

No visit is complete without spending time in our beautiful Plant Centre.

Stocked with a good variety of perennials and shrubs to tempt you at very reasonable prices. Our staff are always on hand to give advice.

Denmans is open daily from 10.00am to 4.00pm from March until September and closed Monday’s and Tuesday’s from October to February, we are also closed for a few days at Christmas. We are available for coach and group bookings at reduced prices. Season tickets are available allowing unlimited visits to Denmans for one year and giving a discount on plants at the plant centre.

My prawn cocktail arrived beautifully presented as a generous roundel of succulent prawns in a luscious baby pink Marie Rose sauce, nestled on a bed of fresh salad leaves and tomatoes, accompanied by brown bread and a pot of creamy butter. It was a classic dish done well.

My companion was equally delighted with his pile of crispy chilli beef – delicate tender strips of beef in a crunchy, light batter coating with a hint of chilli sauce, served with a salad garnish.

Enjoyable though our starters were, we were glad to have left room for the gastronomic delight that was the main course.

My vegetarian dish was so delicious that even I could have been converted to becoming a non meat-eater. e dish is described as ‘roasted red pepper, courgette and warm new potato salad, served with halloumi chips.’ e roasted pepper, chargrilled and sweet was served on a bed of rocket, fresh tomato, red onion, and honey and mustard dressing, which complemented it perfectly.

I had never had halloumi chips before, and the strips of cheese coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried, absolutely did not disappoint.

Delicious food at Grill LOVE at first bite is assured with tasty takeaway meals at The Charcoal Grill in Bognor Regis.

Mouth-watering mozzarella fingers, marinated fillet of lamb or chicken on the skewer, interlaced with slices of onion, green peppers and mushrooms and grilled over a charcoal grill?

Enough to get your taste buds excited? If not, try a traditional Turkish dolma; stuffed vine leaves with rice, herbs and spices.

Perhaps a vegetarian pizza with green peppers, onions, mushrooms and sweetcorn fits the bill?

It all sounds delicious, right? It could easily be a selection of grub worthy of a trendy High Street eatery menu. But all of the above is available from one of the best of what is more commonly known as “kebab shops” in Bognor Regis.

The Charcoal Grill, in the town’s Station Road, offers a vast selection of food. It can be taken away or why not eat in to take advantage of our excellent service in our lovely restaurant area. Customers have been doing just that for 35 years - and they keep coming back for more time after time.

Be it pizza, burgers or kebabs, all meals on the extensive menu are prepared with fresh ingredients by experienced staff who will ensure that your food is cooked just the way you like it.

Customer Lesley Todd has been a regular at the Charcoal Grill for many years and is happy to endorse both the quality of the service and the food.

She said: “I have used this place for a long time now and the guys are so friendly. I find that the food quality is second to none, the delivery is quick and it’s open very late which can be handy, especially when I have been working long hours.”

“I genuinely can’t fault it. They also cater for all the family and have a kid’s menu so if you want to have a break from cooking try ordering a takeaway and I am sure that you will not be disappointed.”

And the dessert menu is particularly tempting, too.

Try the Baklava; a rich, sweet pastry made of layers of filo filled with chopped nuts and sweetened and held together with syrup or honey.

Don’t just take our word for it. See for yourself online at www.bognorcharcoalgrill.co.uk and browse through the extensive menu in the comfort of your own home.

Think pink, so says Jan! Visit the Royal Oak, aka the Pink Pub, in the heart of North Bersted

Open s 7 daeyek aw

JAN Cattermole doesn’t mind admitting that she has both feet firmly in the past when it comes to being the landlady of the Royal Oak – better known as the Pink Pub. For Jan takes great pride in being at the helm of what she describes as “one of the last remaining traditional pubs” in our area.

THat said, Jan and her friendly staff are very much immersed in the modern era when it comes to plaudits.

THey have just been awarded a certificate of merit from the wise folk at Tripadvisor for the second year on the bounce so they are obviously doing something right.

Tripadvisor is the biggest travel website in the world with more than 200 million unbiased reviews, so the merit is certainly one worth having.

Jan says: "It was lovely to receive the recognition last time of asking and to get it for the second year is certainly something of which we are very proud. And I think we have every right to be.

"What makes it such a significant award is that it is totally independent and there is no gloss on any of the reviews.

"In my book that makes it worth having and, by the same token, I recognise the authenticity of the reviews on Tripadvisor, too. THey have independent integrity and

there is no puff, no flim-flam, it is all about the experience the customers had, be that an enjoyable experience or otherwise."

THe rave reviews are thoroughly deserved, of course, but quite what aspect of the pub’s service is its best attribute is a matter of opinion.

THe Pink Pub is very well known for helping various charity efforts, chief among these is the Pink Pub to Paris charity bike ride last year – which saw madcap Bognor cyclists dressed as superheroes pedal to Paris on a £25 bike – that raised a staggering figure.

After the dust had settled, the saddlesoreness worn off and the adding up had been done, the huge effort had raised more than £100,000.

Jan admits: “It was a tremendous effort from everyone involved, especially the chaps who did all the cycling, and we were proud to play our part.

"We are known as a charity pub and we do our best to help out where we can. We support Snowdrop, St Wilfrid’s and Chestnut Tree House.

“After the Paris trip we have become known more and more as the charity pub. We do have a sense of community and try to look after our customers.”

As well as a decent pint, or whatever your

tipple happens to be, you can dine at the pub and it boasts an extensive menu and very competitive prices – and it is certainly worth making a booking.

THere is a convivial atmopshere and, together with friendly, polite and punctual service, it is a dining experience you are bound to relish.

Jan adds: “We are serve food from 12 until 6 Monday to Saturday, and then on a Sunday we serve roast dinners 12 to 2.30 and all of the dishes seem to prove popular.”

Choose from starters including homemade soup of the day, sautéed garlic mushrooms, prawn cocktail, paté with toast, or garlic bread.

A wide selection of jacket potatoes and baguettes with various tasty fillings is also available.

When it comes to main meals, the Pink Pub has a mouth-watering choice. If you can get past the all-day breakfast option, that is.

Delicious!

You can choose from grilled sirloin steak, piri piri chicken breast, grilled salmon fillet, pan fried lamb’s liver, breaded plaice or battered cod.

THen there is breaded wholetail scampi, lasagne, a three-egg omelette or steak and kidney pudding. It makes you hungry just

reading the list, doesn't it? All of these mouth-watering meals can be served along with vegetables, salad, chips, potatoes and mushrooms.

THere is also a board which details the day’s hugely anticipated specials from which you can select your option.

Yes, you certainly are spoiled for choice when it comes to eating here.

Set foot in the Pink Pub and you’ll know exactly what Jan means by “traditional” and the pub retains two bars, a throwback to when all pubs had a public bar and a saloon bar and a welcome one at that.

Jan admits that running the Pink Pub in a manner akin to managing a public house of yesteryear does have its drawbacks., however small they may be.

She added: “We have memorabilia all over the place as you can imagine in a traditional pub and we like it that way and so do our customers.

"But to be perfectly honest with you all the the polishing and cleaning of these artfecats, however interesting they may be, can be a real pain!”

Majestic 'buy six' offer has a lot of bottle... f QUICK CROSSWORD 1

Martin Lury

Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys AS you have undoubtedly devined, my wine journey this week transported me to the delights of Majestic Wines, Chichester, a veritable cornucopia of wines to explore. Free tasting of certain wines is an added bonus of shopping at Majestic along with the knowledgeable staff, but you still need to buy any six bottles to achieve the maximum discount!

My first selection was a Seppelt Heritage 2013 Chardonnay Semillon discounted currently to an attractive £4.99 . THis wine is clean on the palate, is soft and fragrant and pleasingly delicate for an Aussie white with a cream soda taste on the finish. It has the melon character of Chardonnay and the creamier, citrussy taste of Semillon and I commend it to you while stocks last.

Remaining in the Antipodes I next espied a 2015 Sauvignon Blanc aptly entitled THe King's Favour from the much-vaunted Marlborough region of New Zealand. Wow - this wine was stunning and was one of the wines available to taste. THe winemaker Brent Marris descends from the noble De

PESTO PENNE INGREDIENTS • 12 oz. penne • 2 c. roasted red peppers • 1/3 c. plus 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil • 1/4 c. shredded Parmesan, plus more for garnish • 1/4 c. almonds • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 1 tsp. kosher salt • 3 c. baby spinach • Freshly ground black pepper

at a discounted price of £5.99. THis wine is currently good value for money and has blackberry and black currant fruit flavours and a hint of sweet spice.

THe next red to attract my attention was a 2013 Cotes Du Rhone VidalFleury which had bramble fruits in abundance and heady spice and at the current reduced price of £7.99 is very competitive and worth a punt!

I could not then resist a return tasting of

a red Passimento priced at £8.99, hailing from the practice of appassimento which involves the grapes losing about thirty per cent of their water content and thus concentrating the juice and intensifying the wine's flavour. THis wine with its hints of leather and spice and strong tannins is a wine worth exploring.

THe next red was recommended to me by a fellow client and failed to disappoint!

THe Surani Costarossa Primitivo Di

Manduria 2015 had a velvety texture with a subtle smokiness and featured intense rich black fruit and concentrated dark chocolate and at £8.99 is a wine for a dark winter night!

Upping the price range wine guru Ben 20 recommended a Valpolicella La Casetta 2013 Valpolicella Ripasso which for the sum of £13 49 proved to be very smooth and rounded, intense in flavour with vanilla to the fore.

METHOD 1. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook penne according to package directions until al dente.

Community News & Views My Sisters' House WELCOME to our latest column provided

by My Sisters’ House CIC Arun & Chichester Women’s Centre.

THese columns will draw on, and briefly question, relevant issues in the Post circulation area and shows existing community provision that can help.

It is not a direct promotion of the centre's services but raises issues and increases access to what is available.

I’M going for a less known plug this week - Lupus– heard of it? It is Lupus Awareness Month - It takes place during October in the UK every year.

It is an important opportunity to raise awareness of the disease among the public and medical profession as well as improving the understanding of the impact that lupus can have. By making people more aware of lupus you can help control its impact.

So do you know what it is? It's an incurable immune system illness, probably genetic in origin and mainly suffered by females.

It can affect any part of the body and that's the danger. Lupus can produce many symptoms. Family doctors often fail to recognise it.

Meanwhile, a number of major organs can be damaged in an irreversible way. In lupus the immune system produces far too many antibodies which, circulating through the bloodstream, cause reactions leading to inflammatory processes anywhere in the body. THe two major symptoms are joint and muscle pain and an extreme tiredness that won't go away no matter how much you rest.

Rashes, depression, anaemia, feverishness, headaches, possible hair loss and mouth ulcers may all be part of the pattern of lupus.

Noticeably, while the two major symptoms are invariably present, people with lupus can differ greatly in their symptoms and how the illness can affect them - life-threatening for a few, very mild for some.

Miscarriage, often recurrent, is another unhappy complication of lupus. Women are the principal sufferers. THe main trigger of lupus is hormonal activity and change, and lupus can often trigger after childbirth, at the menopause or during puberty and usually between the ages of 15 and 55.

A number of illnesses arise from a faulty immune system - two we know well are arthritis and rheumatism. Often the lupus patient has family members with these autoimmune conditions or others such as MS, thyroid problems, diabetes, Raynauds, scleroderma, Sjogrens and others.

What you can do ? As part of the month, Lupus UK ask you to ask GP practices, hospital clinics, pharmacies, workplaces and anywhere else in your local community you can think of, to display their posters so that it is in the minds of GPs and other professionals when they meet women complaining of unexplained problems.

It got me thinking though about the value of peer group support for women/men with ongoing long term conditions they have to live with. We at the women’s centre run various peer groups but I know many such conditions have their own websites and their own support groups. So if you suffer such a condition – and there isn’t one - get vocal and demand a local group is available – one thing is for sure you won’t be alone!

THere is a great video about lupus: http://www.lupusuk.org.uk/ what-is-lupus

Julia, who runs the club and led the committee which edited the anthology, said: "We are delighted to be able to support Dawn's fundraising campaign.

"I hope people enjoy the stories and poems and come back next year to buy our second anthology."

She described A Blast On THe Waverley's Whistle as an exciting and eclectic collection of stories and poems. Inside each copy, readers will find sensitivity and sympathy, humour and quirkiness, from the kitchen sink to worlds far away.

THe first 150 sold are guaranteed to have at least one autograph from the writers inside. It could be a future best seller's early work.

By Sylvia Endacott

Linden Road has a short past for a long route Thoroughfare was only proposed in 1923 to link two separate roads Over the years this terrace had been occupied by a taxi service and, for a time, a secretarial school. I would be interested to hear when this section was constructed and learn why it has a round turret?

After the footpath there are two cottages, which are set back, and these were originally called Laurel Cottages. Where the houses restart on the road is No 1 Linden Road, although today this is 28 Linden Road.

Houses vary in style and era from here to Victoria Drive, but they have remained mainly residential. It is interesting to remember a number of trades that have existed along the next stretch of road.

From about 1916 EH Coleman, the florist, had occupied one site. In the 1940s EH Coleman was to take over the shop previously owned by HA Harnetts, the butchers. THis trade was to continue and who can remember the premises of Cecil Bennett, the garden centre?

Cecil had been in business on this particular site for approximately 50 years, commencing as he did in the 1920s. Eventually it was closed in 1981, and the site was purchased with planning permission for the building of 12 flats, and these are now Saffron Court and Deane Court.

Strolling further along this road we come to a couple of bungalows and then Annandale Avenue, a road that was developed in 1928.

On the corner is an impressive building - that of Colebrook, although its address is No 2 Annandale Ave. For a short period, this house was the home of Colebrook School. Finally, we come to a new housing complex that was built in 1990 replacing a number of bungalows that were demolished between Annandale Ave and Victoria Drive.

Returning to the other side of the road we start with the Picturedrome that was opened as Assembly Rooms in 1886 until 1919 when

Cecil Bennett, the garden centre, traded in Linden Road for about 50 years

f A picturesque view of the road f One of the road's businesses THIS week we will look at a road with a short history. Heading away from the Picturedrome towards Hawthorn Road, Linden Road is today a very busy thoroughfare, much different from the 1920s.

THe story of this road can be split into two definitive sections. THe first consists of several sets of buildings from the 1890s. THese were constructed from the junction of Station Road and Canada Grove out to the area where today we have a roundabout at the junction with Victoria Drive.

In 1892, the second section contained a nine-hole golf course and a cottage as its clubhouse. THis was beyond the roundabout area, with only open fields and a path beyond which is depicted in a sketch of 1893.

Buildings didn’t commence along this section of the road until the early 1920s and it was initially called Linden Avenue, before all being absorbed into Linden Road. One

drawing of 1904 shows that there was in fact just a small path through this area with no suggestion of a road.

Whilst looking through the deeds of our house in Hillsboro Road we came across a number of small sketches, carefully drawn on very thin tracing paper.

One plan, from October 1917, shows Victoria Drive running directly from Chichester Road through to Aldwick. It was not until December 1923 that the plans show a proposal for a road link with Linden Avenue and Linden Road, thus making this a through road.

From the station on the right hand side we come upon the three-storeyed Claire Terrace consisted of 11 houses with a footpath at the rear leading back to Longford Road.

THese are still private residences with the exception of the corner, which is today a beauty salon, which has a very interesting turret on the apex of the building.

FLYING in the Fleet Air Arm during the Cold War will be topic of the presentation at the next meeting of Air ACES. Commander Michael Maddox OBE RN has the unique distinction of having served in frontline Naval Air Squadrons, equipped with the Sea Vixen, the Buccaneer, the Phantom and ASW Sea King helicopters during a 37 year career.

His final appointment was as a Commanding Officer of the unit that controlled the RAF electronic warfare squadron and which was equipped with Canberra aircraft.

During his talk, Mike will describe the diverse operations undertaken by naval aviators during the Cold War period.

A most interesting talk - with plenty of pictures - is assured by this amazing speaker.

Air Aces is the Arun and Chichester Air Enthusiasts Society.

Its next meeting is at 7.30pm on October 24 at the Chichester Park Hotel in Chichester.

Entrance is £3 for members, £5 for guests and free for under16s. Tickets are on sale on the evening.

Further information about Air ACES at www.airaces.org.uk or David Batcock on 01243 823007.

f A map with plans for a section of Linden Road

it was transformed into the cinema we know today.

We then have a parade of seven shops with living accommodation above. THe fish and chip shop of today has been a fishmonger since as far back as 1953 and there have generally always been confectioners, ironmongers, grocers and butchers.

THe site of No 7 was shown in a 1920s directory as E Nixon and Son, purveyors of high class home killed and best colonial meat.

THeir advertisements announced that they produced homemade sausages and “families were waited upon daily” for their orders – such personal service.

Other names, which may be remembered, are Frank Bennett, grocer and AB Baker ironmongers.

Next we have a road, which was once known as Circus St until about 1904 when it was changed to Ockley Road. Next is No. 19 known as ‘Shirley’ which belonged to Arthur & Pat Maginnis – Commission Agents.

Continuing after, 21 – 29 are still the original houses although 31 – 35 have been replaced

by Linden Court followed by a pair of striking semi-detached houses named Matlock and Kendal Lodge. I wonder why they were so named?

Our next major construction is that of the

United Reformed Church, which had its main opening and dedication on Wednesday, October 29, 1930.

THe church and is now known as Jeneses, a community centre for many organisations.

THen we come to the Hawthorns, which was built in 1965 and designed by Jack Godfrey Gilbert. When these flats were constructed they were thought to be such an interesting piece of architecture that they were photographed and the pictures displayed in Portland Place, London, which was the headquarters of the Royal Institute of British Architects.

In this area of the road, I am not sure exactly, I am told there was a children’s home during the 1950s. Does anyone have any knowledge of this please?

Finally we arrive back at Victoria Drive, which as we have mentioned before, was built in the 1890s.

THe second section of Linden Road from Victoria Drive to Hawthorn Road with its 1920s and 1930s houses remains much the same today - residential premises with their enclosed front and back gardens.

Incidentially, some of the houses in this section of road were damaged in both the 1987 hurricane and 2000 tornado.

BATTLING Bognor suffered yet another heavy defeat and for the third time lost to opposition in who chalked up more than 50 points.

THis time it was a 54-10 reverse at Old Cranleighans in this London 3 South West division encounter.

THe Hampshire Avenue outfit have a weekend off with no game tomorrow in the league but are back in action once more next Saturday when they host Battersea Ironsides.

After five games, Bognor sit bottom of the table of 12 with just one point while their next opponents are placed ninth, having won two matches and suffered defeats in the other two.

Bognor have a relatively young side and have found it a challenge to cope with the level of rugby since they were promoted last season. But as you would

expect the spirit is good and hope remains that the outfit can turn things around.

Undefeated Farnham, who walloped Bognor 53-0 towards the end of last month, sit at the top of the pile with a maximum 25 points. And they have amassed 254 points already this campaign.

Meanwhile, Bognor 2nd XV lost to their Horsham counterparts in a 2441 reverse, while the 3rd XV enjoyed a comfortable win over Pulborugh with a 37-7 scofreline.

Elsewhere, Bognor look to the future when they welcome Harlequins to Hampshire Avenue to stage a coaching camp for youngsters at the end of the month during half-term.

THe sessions are open to boys and girls aged between six and 14 on October 27 and 28 and is priced at £85.

Party on!

CHICHESTER suffered a heavy 49-0 defeat at Hertford on Saturday in a one-sided National 3 South East division encounter.

But despite the painful reverse, the Oaklands Park club are ready to put the result behind them as they prepare for party celebrations to mark their 90th anniversary.

A combined Chichester side from the 1s, 2s, 3s and 4s will play Portsmouth 2s at their HQ tomorrow (Saturday, kick-off 2pm) And a Chichester veterans' team face a Pompey vets team at the same venue with a 3pm start.

THe fun should provide an antidote to the reverse in their previous league encounter.

THe defeat means the Blues slip down to 11th spot in the table after six games, with a five point deduction taken into consideration.

Meanwhile, Chichester 3s enjoyed a convincing 41-19 triumph over visitors Haywards Heath 2 in a Sussex Shepherd Neame Leagues - Sussex Division 3 encounter.

THe club's Colts side to the colts, fell just short against Alton 22-28.

IT was a case of high fives all round for James Baker as he triumphed with his fifth Chichester half marathon win on Sunday.

That means the Chichester Runners ace has triumphed in all five of the races since its inception.

And it was a great event for his fellow Chichester runners, too. Team-mates Michael Neville finished in second place in 1.24.31 and Charles Rodmell ran 1.25.53 to take third spot.

And following them was Mike Houston, who placed fourth in 1.26.42.

The first woman home in was Chichester Runners’ Anne Sydenham who recorded a time of 1.33.28.

Organisers introduced two new events to encourage a greater breadth of runner so a team relay race and a ten miler also took place in tandem with the main event.

Chichester runner Peter Concannon was first to finish the ten-mile course

in just over one hour and Fittleworth Flyers took the ladies’ relay crown.

Dragons fly

EIGHT members of Dragonflyers Trampoline Club came together in Haslemere to compete as a team in division one of the southern region team championships.

Manon Bailey, William Foden, Jacqui Denton, Lucy Hijmans, Rosie Budge, Ellie Morton, Sofija kalnicenko and Anya Johnston did themselves and their club proud as they executed a set and voluntary routine with nerves of steal to gain exceptional form scores for the accuracy of their routines.

Flyers finished third in competition against the region's top nine teams With many of the flyers top performers not participating it proves the club as strength in depth .

THe club has two internationals and national league finals coming up and hope to build on their success.

James the 8th is Rocks goal king!

Chas and Daz are showing promise BOGNOR ABC juniors Charley Mason and Darren Rowles were both on the wrong end of split decisions at the Titchfield amateur boxing show last week.

After watching young Charley Mason's fight via a live feed on Facebook I can sympathise with his Dad and trainer Paul Mason's annoyance at his son not being awarded the judges verdict.

It looked to be a spirited, closelyfought contest, but one that young Mason, 15, can feel hard done by for being announced the runner-up in what was his 16th bout.

Mason boxed Martin McDonagh of Golden Ring ABC, a Southamptonbased club with a long line of national champions in its history.

Mason was planting his feet well sending out crisp combinations to head and body, with some neat footwork to avoid his opponents counters.

THere were some lively exchanges in what was a high tempo affair that served as solid evidence of the fitness regimes of the boxers retrospective clubs.

"We're gutted not to get the decision," said Paul Mason.

"Especially so as it is one we all felt we deserved.

"Many of the spectators commented how we were unlucky not to get the result and even the gentleman handing out the trophies said he shouldn't be giving Charley the runner-up medal.

"THese things happen in amateur boxing though. You can't win them all.

Charley will learn from this and move on."

Charley will be boxing in the NABC regional finals in November.

Mcdonagh will be representing Hampshire.

It makes for an intriguing rematch where Charley will have a chance to reverse the result.

Darren Rowles was in another close fight losing to Moneyfields ABC boxer Bobby Pryor via a split decision. Head coach Charlie Martin said: "It wasn't one of Darren's better performances but to still be so close on the scorecards proves how far Darren has come.

"He works so very hard in the gym.

If he gets it right on the night he is very capable of beating anyone his weight."

Rowles, 12, will be looking to get back to winning ways this Saturday in Eastbourne in what will be his tenth bout.

Mason and Rowles are two perfect examples of the depth of raw boxing talent we have in Bognor. And it is the same in Chichester, too.

Mason, a polite and quietly confident young man with a steely determination, has what it takes, in my opinion, to go a long way in boxing.

And Rowles, one of the most dedicated and focused junior boxers I know, looks to me as if he is destined to follow suit.

Lions set to go for Golds

By Robson Friend sport@sussexpost.co.uk PAGHAM chief Mark Bennett comes up against his former side Littlehampton Town when the Lions host the Golds at Nyetimber Lane tomorrow in a SCFL Premier Division clash.

Bennett was manager at the Sportsfield before switching to Pagham and he will be confident that his high-flying side can put one over on his former club.

Pagham go into the encounter in

fourth position in the table following the collection of a valuable point on the road at Horsham YMCA last Saturday where they earned a 0-0 draw.

But the Lions were back among the goals on Tuesday under lights at Nyetimber Lane with a relatively easy 4-0 win over Midhurst & Easebourne in the second round of the Peter Bentley Cup, pictured above.

THe game gave Bennett the chance to run the rule over some fringe first-team players and he would have been encouraged by some of

the perormances in a workmanlike victory over new manager Dave Berkowitz's outfit.

Ryan Morey handed the home side a 1-0 lead on eight minutes before Liam Humphreys added a second four minutes later.

Lloyd Rowlatt took the score to 3-0 five minutes after the restart and then a minute later Josh Irish all but wrapped things up with a fourth.

Pagham have the chance to improve their league standing once more with a home game on Tuesday when they meet Lancing in the SCFL top flight.

f Jimmy Muitt in front of more than 2,200 fans.

THe home side exuded power and strength but were masterly outfootballed by Howell's pass-masters.

A goal from Fraser deservedly put the Rocks ahead after 18 minutes before Ibra Sekajja equalised.

Pearce handed Bognor the lead again on 30 minutes and substitute James Crane made sure the victory at the close with a well-taken strike.

It was a winning debut for new keeper Dan Lincoln. THe ex-Reading custodian has been signed to replace

Billy Granger and fans and critics have been impressed so far with his commanding authority between the sticks when called upon. Elsewhere, certain senior figures at the club predict great things of Jimmy Muitt, who came on as a second-half substitute in the win over Merstham.

Muitt, who failed to make the grade as a teenager at Brighton, was signed

by Howell in the summer from Lewes and is slowly but surely winning his battle back to fitness after a serious knee injury. Watch this space.

PostSport diary PostSport diary PostSport diary WITH Rocks grandee Jack Pearce in Sweden in an FA role with a squad of England starlets and secretary Simon Cook on hols, it fell to the avuncular Maurice Warner to be the Bognor bod in the boardroom at Dulwich Hamlet. And as the former Nye Camp commercial manager held court among the great-ish and the good within the corridors of power at Champion Hill, he cut a figure akin to that of a Bond villain, see picture. But which 007 nemesis would best suit our very own blackclad master-crim? Your diarist is going with Dr Mo! NEWS reaches Post Sport HQ of a football club in our area whose chairman fancies himself as a bit of a crooner.

Goal ace Forry fires four on debut in Selsey romp

By Robson Friend sport@sussexpost.co.uk DEBUTANT Morgan Forry marked his first game for the Selsey with four goals as the home side thrashed Ringmer 7-1 in SCFL Division Two Bradley Dean opened the scoring for the Blues on 14 minutes at the Bunn Leisure Stadium on Saturday before Forry hit his first after 34 minutes then added another for 3-0 just after the break.

He bagged his hat-trick after 54 minutes before Dean made his a double for 5-0 on the hour.

THen Forry fired his fourth on 67 minutes and Ciaran McGreal wrapped things up three minutes before the end.

Selsey travel to Mile Oak for a league clash tomorrow.

Bosham sit pretty at the top of SCFL Division Two with an unblemished record and look to maintain their lead at the top of the table with a trip to Alfold tomorrow.

THe Robins saw off Rustington, managed now by former Pagham and Bognor defender Jon Tucker, 2-0 in the Intermediate Cup at Walton Lane on Saturday with goals from Alex Barnes on the hour and Oliver Gilbert just three minutes later.

Sidlesham navigated a safe passage through the same competition with a comfortable 3-0 triumph at home to Tom Simmonds' Pagham U21s. THe victory came when John Phillips

put the Sids ahead after 15 minutes and THomas Bayley doubled the lead on the halfhour mark.

Phillips snatched his second with five minutes remaining to complete the win over the young Lions.

Sidlesham return to league action once more tomorrow when they travel to face Upper Beeding in a SCFL Division Two encounter.

Chichester Ladies enjoyed a goal-laden 8-2 triumph in their mismatched FA Cup third qualifying round game against Haringey Borough Ladies.

Jess Lewry, Chloe Dowdell, Jade Widdows and Becky Barron each scored a single goal, while Cherelle Khassal and Charley WilsonBlakely both bagged braces.

Chi Development squad won 3-1 away to Hassocks Ladies in the league, with a hat-trick for Kelly Ambler.

City's U16s won 3-1 against Ferring Youth, the U14s lost 2-3 to Horsham Sparrows and the U12s were defeated 3-4 by Mile Oak. Pagham Ladies suffered a 5-0 defeat at league leaders Oakwood but showed enough improvement to give the outfit belief that they are progressing.

It was no disgrace losing so heavily to Oakwood, who are a superb side and who will win the league title convincingly.

Pagham are at home to Cowfold in the Sussex Cup on Sunday at Avisford Park, with a 2pm kick-off.
