Council acts on homeless NEW powers have been adopted to tackle rough sleeping in Bognor Regis town centre. Arun District Council's cabinet members have agreed to enable three senior officers to authorise the clearing away of belongings left on the public highway by those who are homeless. THe move follows the council’s decision to begin to move the items from its property and private areas where the landowners are willing for it to act. Cllr Trevor Bence, Arun’s cabinet member for residential services, told Aldwick Parish Council during his regular comments as an Aldwick East ward councillor, in advance of the decision being made, 11 sites had been found in High Street alone which had been used for rough sleeping recently. “We have got a formal letter of understanding from West Sussex County Council. Some of the rough sleepers are on byways and footpaths owned by the county council. THis letter gives us the formal authority to act on behalf of the county council in those circumstances to treat the bedding and other items of the sleepers as found property. THis is not appropriation. “If we find sleeping equipment and tents and items which have been abandoned we can treat it as found property. “It will be retained under the found property law for 28 days." THe county council is the highways authority and has given Arun the power to act until March 31 next year. It uses section 41 of the Local Government

(Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982, which covers lost and uncollected property, on public areas of the London Road precinct, High Street and Bedford Street. Cllr Bence later told the special cabinet meeting of Arun last THursday which adopted the power: “THis is just one small part of a bigger jigsaw of a whole raft of other things we have to make sure we are engaging with other groups, such as charities, to ensure we come together about how we are going to deal with rough sleepers. “One of the biggest problems was the ownership of the property people were bedding down on. But, obviously, in the High Street it is a county council issue.” Cllr Gillian Brown, Arun’s leader, said: “THis has been a serious issue in Bognor Regis for some time. It does need to be dealt with.” Outside the meeting, Arun community manager Georgina Bouette said the individuals were warned that belongings left in public would be removed. “We put a notice on their site 24 hours before we intended to act,” she said. “A lot of the stuff we remove is clearly in a state of disrepair, either sodden or it has been damaged or it constitutes a hazard to other people. THat is disposed of.” She stressed the council had informed charities who worked with homeless people of its actions. Its outreach worker visited rough sleepers twice a week and had a good relationship with them, she added.

Plea fails to save town centre hotel A BID to ensure guests can book into a hotel in Bognor Regis has been rejected. Bognor Regis Town Council wanted plans to turn THe Gables Hotel with eight bedrooms into four flats refused so it could provide holiday accommodation. But Arun District Council's development control committee backed their planning officer at last Wednesday's meeting and permitted the conversion to go ahead. Cllr Sandra Daniells, a town centre planning and licensing committee member, told Arun: "THere is a real shortage of hotels in Bognor Regis but there is certainly plenty of flats. "THe town council is keen to preserve any existing tourist accommodation. As a boutique hotel, this could be a good commercial success." She said she was aware the building's previous owner retired at the age of 85 in 2016 and had limited occupancy of the hotel in her final years there because of her advancing years. "Bognor Regis is remarkably lacking in holiday property but there are so many flats, both existing and in the pipeline." THe building's location in Crescent Road was convenient for the seafront and public transport. It was also near the proposed Pavilion Park, she said. But development committee member Cllr Elaine Stainton (C, Felpham W) said: "I don't see why anyone would want to go to Bognor Regis town centre in that position. "THere is no car parking and it is not in a very good area, being opposite a car wash.

"We have got the Royal Norfolk Hotel and we have got Butlin's accommodation and I think this would be ideal for four flats because there's a need for accommodation. It would be ideal for young people or students who do not have cars." Cllr Jim Brooks (I, Marine) said a lack of tourism support from Arun could have been behind the decision of the applicant, Vine Works Ltd, to seek a residential use for the building. "I very much regret the loss of this as a hotel. I very much it could be made into something really special," he said. "But I don't think the owners have got any faith in tourism in the local area." Cllr Pat Dillon (C, Pevensey) said: "I am sorry to see this go. I volunteer at the Regis Centre, where Arun has an information point, and we are forever being asked for B&B accommodation in the local area. "To my knowledge, we only have three in and around that part of the town. THis is going to be a great loss to the town." Arun planning officer Simon Davis said the council believed the hotel was last open ten years ago. THe building had since been used as a house of multiple occupation. He added: "THe proposed conversion of this property is considered to represent an efficient use of urban land and does so without comprising the character/ appearance of the existing building, the existing tourism offer of Bognor Regis, highway safety or the amenities of nearby residential occupiers."

Permission given for homes to be built before roadworks NEW homes can be built in Fontwell before road improvements are completed. Councillors have agreed to overturn a restriction on the 400 dwelling development on land east of Fontwell Avenue. A government inspector, who approved the scheme in 2017, ruled improvements to the A27/ A29 roundabout (Fontwell Avenue/Arundel Road) had to be carried out before any housebuilding work began. But Arun District Council's development control committee has

agreed with the developer, Dandara, that 150 of the homes can be occupied before the roadworks are finished. David Easton, a council planning officer, said the delay would add 31-34 vehicle movements an hour through the junction. "Given the existing traffic flow through the junction this equates to an extra one per cent increase in traffic flows," he said. It would lead to a 26 second delay in northbound journeys but no delays in other directions. Walberton, Eastergate and Slindon parish councils opposed the change.

Pharmacy robber f Jez Burton and Nicky Miles with the charity cup FOOTBALL managers Jez Burton and Nicky Miles are aiming to get their hands on silverware in Pagham this weekend. THey are in charge of teams of Arsenal and Chelsea fans who are taking each other on for charity. Sunday's game will kick off at 11am at Pagham FC's Nyetimber Lane ground in aid of Chestnut Tree House children's hospice. Jez is in the hot seat for the Arsenal fans. He says the match is a great opportunity to have some fun, try to get one over on rival supporters and help the hospice. "I'd urge people to come along to support this fantastic local charity for children," he said. "After the event, there will be a raffle with some great prizes, and no doubt loads of great banter."

Meanwhile, Chelsea coach Nick says he hopes for a high-scoring game to please those who go along to watch. "We've got to entertain the crowd and we'll play with that in mind. "It'll be a great bit of fun and, if we can enjoy it while raising money for the hospice, then I'll be more than happy with that, win or lose," he said. THis is the latest in a series of charity games between the fans. THe prize up for grabs is a lovely piece of silverware donated by Daren and Kate Terry, the owners Bognor Regis hair salon Lotus Styling. Daren said: "We're delighted to put up the cup to give the winning team something to hold aloft in a match that is for such a deserving cause. "It should be a great day and having

been involved in previous matches we know just have competitive it will be. Good luck to both sides." Chestnut Tree House, near Arundel, provides hospice care services and community support for 300 children and young people aged up to 19 with progressive life-shortening conditions throughout east and west Sussex, Brighton and Hove and south-east Hampshire. THe hospice relies on raising ÂŁ6,850 every day to fund its range of services provided at the hospice and in the homes of the children. THe ÂŁ3.8m annual total cost is mainly provided by donations from supporters. Many fundraise by taking part in a wide range of events, which are held during every years.

A WOMAN who robbed a Bognor Regis pharmacy at gunpoint has been sentenced. Megan Hammond, 29, was sentenced to 32 months in prison at Portsmouth Crown Court last week. She had pleaded guilty to robbery, possession of an offensive weapon and possession of an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear or violence. Hammond entered Kamsons Pharmacy, in Durlston Drive, around 9.10am on December 11 last year armed with a gun and a knife. She handed the staff a list of drugs and demanded they retrieved them for her. She fled the premises after she had put the drugs into a plastic bag. Police officers were able to quickly

identify Hammond, of Chestnut Grove, from the CCTV footage in the pharmacy. She was arrested soon after. A search of her house led to the drugs, knife and gun being discovered and seized by officers. Investigating officer PC Matt Chamberlain said: "No one should have to experience the fear these staff members did and I hope this sends out a clear message to the public this behaviour will not be tolerated. "Megan entered the pharmacy with a mask covering her face but we were able to identify her by her clothes and her voice. "Officers worked hard to put together the evidence for this case and we welcome the sentence given."

Proposal for additional caravans A PLAN has been submitted to remove a limit on the number of caravans at a North Bersted site. Wyldecrest Parks Management wants Arun District Council to allow extra caravans to be placed on THe Marigolds in Shripney Road. Approval given in 1978 restricted the

number of caravans on the site to 60. Arun gave permission in 2014 to enable the number to be increased to 63. THe additional caravans would replace a bungalow on the site. THe permission has never been carried out. Wyldecrest, in its latest application, says more caravans are needed to make the work viable.

` Yapton donkeys PALM SUNDAY came to life in Yapton on Sunday with a procession of worshippers from its village church. THe Christians from St Mary’s Church commemorated the entry by Jesus into Jerusalem a week before his trial and crucifixion. THeir parade, pictured below by Tim Bell, was led by two donkeys, Alfie and Charlie, who live locally. Mr Bell, the church's press officer, said: "THe use of a donkey by Jesus instead of a horse was seen as symbolic in contrast to arriving on a steed in war." THe church's rector, the Rev Richard Hayes, welcomed the congregation, saying he wanted to explore the Easter message in detail during Holy Week and Easter Day. Easter services including one on Sunday at dawn (6.30am) on Clymping beach and continue with communion services at Yapton (9.45am), Climping at 11am, and 7pm at Yapton.

New lights for the seafront TWO new sections of decorative lightings on Bognor Regis seafront are due to turned on tomorrow. THe illuminations are returning to Gloucester Road, thanks to funding from the Bognor Regis business improvement district (BID), after the previous worn-out lighting was scrapped six years ago during a wholesale street lighting replacement programme by West Sussex County Council. BID chairman Paul Wells said: "Improving the night-time economy is one of the current objectives of the BID. "So, we are delighted to fund new lighting along this important approach to the seafront, which also links the seafront to one of the town's major attractions, Hotham Park." Low voltage blue and white LED festoon cabling has been wrapped around the columns to make for a striking display. THe work has been carried out by contractors engaged by Bognor Regis Seafront Lights, the volunteers who organise the summer spectacle. Further west, 10 new displays have been attached to columns between the Rock Gardens and Park Road. THey replace aged nautical themed rope-light features which were beyond economic repair. THe new shapes each feature three parallel arcs of low voltage LED coloured bulbs. THe new lighting will come on about 9pm tomorrow, along with all the

existing displays, as the same time as fireworks ascend from the pier as part of the big switch-on weekend. Coles will be presenting a funfair all weekend. THis will be sited on the road, to mean THe Esplanade between Clarence Road and Lennox Street, was closed at 7am yesterday and will stay closed until early Tuesday morning. Lights' secretary Greg Burt said: "We had hoped to have the new displays along by the Rock Gardens lit by last August but various technical difficulties delayed the scheme until this year. "It should be worth the wait, though. We are still thinking about replacing the aged umbrella stand displays. "But, with displays costing around £1,000-plus per display, we can only do so much at any one time." While the group, which was formed in 1997, receives funds from Bognor Regis and Felpham councils, nearly as much again is raised from fundraising events. THese include regular activities such as jumble sales, a garden fete, donations from traders, sponsorship and the illuminations gala on August bank holiday Sunday. Residents can support the lights with the ongoing adopt a light bulb scheme. For just £2 a year, residents can adopt a bulb of their colour. THey will receive an attractive certificate in return. Application forms are available from Heygates Bookshop at 67 High Street in Bognor Regis.

Connor's campaign raises beach pollution awareness Alicia Denny alicia.denny@sussexpost.co.uk INSPIRATIONAL schoolboy Connor Merrick has seen his campaign to reduce litter on the beach recognised by Bognor Regis Town Council. Eleven-year-old Connor was on holiday in Italy with his parents and realised there was no rubbish on the beach there and posters were displayed reminding people to be environmentally aware. He felt the same message should be emphasised in his home town. When they returned to their North Bersted home, Connor asked his mum, Alison, what they should do after he had drawn a campaign poster and she contacted the council's community engagement and environment department. His idea for publicity was eagerly taken up by officers and councillors - and now can be seen by the wider public when walking on the promenade. THe poster he designed shows the length of time it takes for common items of rubbish to decompose. THe Regis School pupil said: "I feel I was the only one doing anything. None of my friends knew about the pollution and how long it takes for something to decompose in the sea. I have spoken for them. "I have tried to get the message through by having the sign to make people realise."

Connor said he first became aware of environmental issues through a Cub Scouts' meeting when lights and technology were turned off for Earth Hour, an annual international effort to remind people of environmental issues and use of natural resources. He has also been active at his school in promoting the issue with fellow students in Year 7. Connor was the recipient of this year's Citizen's Award for Young People, which was presented to him at the annual civic reception by the mayor, Stephen Reynolds. THe mayor and Connor met again on Tuesday when the copy of the poster produced by the town council was unveiled in the seafront shelter opposite the end of Clarence Road. Cllr Reynolds said: "Having found the funds to produce posters in a range of sizes, the council decided to embrace the project. "Young people are now very aware of potential environmental problems and passionate about the issues. "If it stops anyone from throwing litter and thinking of the problem it creates, that's great. "As we have a diverse community and many foreign visitors, it's good it has been produced with a number of languages Polish, French, German and Russian, as well as English," added the mayor. THe posters will be widely distributed as soon as officers have decided on suitable locations.

said: "I know how lovely it is to have long hair and to lose your hair must be heartbreaking. "I just wanted to do something to help." Heather's mum, Jennifer, is a trustee of Tyler's Trust so the family, who live at Hook Lane, Bognor, is well aware of problems for families coping with cancer. Once her hair was gone, the Felpham Community College student was all smiles and was looking forward to having hair which was easier to look after and more manageable for sports. "But, I might grow it again," she added.

f Holding her cut-off plait

A FRESH attempt is being made to gain permission for nearly 30 homes in Eastergate. Domusea Developments has resubmitted its plans for 28 dwellings at THe Boweries in Barnham Road. THe outline proposals follow the company's decision to withdraw its previous scheme last October after talks with Arun District Council. But it says the time is right for the housing, on land allocated for 2,500 homes, to be considered. It claims Arun lacks the five-year housing land supply required by the government. THe homes will be a mix of four, three and two-bed properties.

RESIDENTS have less than a week to have their say on proposals about the new A29. West Sussex County Council has drawn up proposals to rea-align a stretch of the road east of Eastergate, Westergate and Woodgate villages. THe 4.34km long road would start from the existing A29 Fontwell Avenue, north of Eastergate, and re-join the A29 Lidsey Road, north of Shripney. It would provide a bridge to replace the Woodgate level crossing.

them and Arun can put up the sign for the county council. “We have already put a sign up at the eastern end of the footpath and this would mean another sign be installed at the other end, by the boatyard," he said. “THat should help the situation – but we can't police it, every day 24 hours a day. THat places a burden on the shoulders of the cyclists.” Parish councillor Alan Smith said the new sign would help to enforce the fact cycling was not allowed along the narrow footpath by the privately-owned beach. “I have photographed cyclists there before from time to time and have got abuse for it because of the lack of a sign saying they can't cycle along there,” he said. Arun does permit cycling along the foreshore from Felpham to the boundary of Aldwick opposite THe Waverley pub. But cyclists are then expected to rejoin the road -Marine Drive West – if they are riding westwards because the footpath becomes narrower. A sign directs cyclists on to the road.

Easter is set to be an eggs-tra special time in the town centre will be filled with Easter bunnies. Taking place as well is the annual funfair on the prom. THis began yesterday and continues until Monday. Along with these attractions, the summer lighting along the seafront will be switched on at 9pm tomorrow followed by a firework display on the pier. Both are being held by the Bognor Regis Seafront Lights volunteers. Paul Wells, the Bognor Regis BID chairman, said the Easter weekend was another chance - after a bumper Christmas - for Bognor Regis town centre to shine and start to deliver its potential which led to the BID's formation. "THe BID can keep momentum going working together in partnership with local businesses and other stakeholders to deliver the plan," he said.

A MISSING sign to ban cycling along a stretch of Aldwick seafront is set to be installed. THe notice will be put in at the western end of the footpath between the beach huts and Marine Drive West. It will be funded by Arun District Council as a gesture of goodwill because the landowner, West Sussex County Council, lacks the money for the work. THe news of the sign was revealed by one of Arun's Aldwick East councillors, Trevor Bence, to Aldwick parish councillors at their latest meeting last week. Cllr Bence said a survey had shown the area at the western end of the footpath was owned by the county council. Nat Slade, Arun District Council's group head of technical services, was in contact with the county council's area highways officer, Ben Whiffin, about the best way to ensure a no cycling sign was installed there. “As I understand it, the county council can't afford to put a sign up. Nat Slade is looking for a letter of authority from

declined to offer Pagham Parish Council financial support in its bid to oppose one of the four large housing schemes in its area. Bersted Parish Council's chairman, Cllr Brian Knight, said: "We all agree about people wanting properties. THe biggest problem we have is that they are not being built at the prices that people can afford." Cllr Hugh Carey said: "First time buyers have not got a hope in hell of buying one of the 2,500 homes planned for Chalcraft Lane - and that's a shame. "All of these big housing estates are designed to attract people from outside, not necessarily first-time buyers." Cllr Gill Yeates, who chairs the parish council's planning, amenities and environment committee, said: "To have 7,000 homes down from Fontwell to Pagham is very unbalanced for one side of the Arun district. It will have a real impact on people."

New sign to tell cyclists to use road

A CALL for more housing has been made by a Bersted parish councillor. Cllr Keir Greenway said extra homes were needed to enable members of the younger generation to have a property of their own. "People like me want somewhere to live," he said. "I know there are arguments about affordability but there is a real dire need for it. "I know people my age who are going out and buying shared ownership properties and they are loving them. "We always talk about the negative aspect of new housing but there are positives as well." One much-needed aspect of enabling more development could be seen with the A259 viaduct, he told this month's meeting of the parish council. "THat cost £31m and we would not have it without the new development. I use it every day and I am grateful for it." He made his comments as councillors

` New signs backed UPDATED anti-burglar signs are to be installed around Aldwick. THe latest Neighbourhood Watch signs will be bought with a £213.36 grant from parish councillors. THe donation was presented by the parish council's chairman, Cllr Lilian Richardson, to David Norton, of the Bognor Regis Neighbourhood Watch Association, at the latest meeting of the council. Mr Norton said: “THank you for your continued support. We have a number of streets where we are replacing the Neighbourhood Watch signs. “Many of the triangular ones are old and they are dirty. We have got a new format which has been approved nationwide. We now can replace as many as these as possible. “THese will be made now we have got the money. But we have to go to the transport department to erect them. I don't know when that will be.”

` Homes approved NEW homes are to be built on a former commercial site in Bognor Regis. Mr P. Hudson has received planning permission from Arun District Council to redevelop the land previously occupied by Westside Supplies. THe approval means he will be able to build a three-storey block of eight one-bed flats and six two-bedroom flats. THe site is on land west of 17 and 18 Durban Road and access to the new flats will be from Durban Road.

f Adult group members of Dramatis

Event to celebrate group's first year A SPECIAL evening is being staged by a Bognor Regis-based community drama school. Dramatis is holding An Evening Soiree for a night of after-dinner entertainment next THursday. THe event will take place at the Jeneses Arts Centre in Linden Road. It will provide residents with the chance to find out about its work and future plans, enjoy two short performances from the Dramatis adult drama group and enjoy a chat over a wine and music from a young musician.

individual personalities and skills. She said: "THe Bognor Regis community has been so supportive in helping me launch Dramatis. "THis one year anniversary celebration is the perfect time to show local residents what we've been up to and what we've got planned next. "It's also a great opportunity to bring local residents together for an enjoyable evening away from the TV." THe first performance on the night will be a rehearsed reading. Written by its Act Your Age, adults drama group, it will feature a sci-fi/comedy script. THe second performance centres around three women who stumble across an object which wreaks havoc while they sort through their recently deceased mother's belongings.

KEEN photographer Zelinda de Cruz's portrait of a monk has been judged as one of the best shots in Sussex. Middleton Camera Club member Zelinda was given a merit award in the latest Sussex Photographic Federation print competition for her photograph. It is set to be among the work by the club's members for its entry into the competition which will be on show on the bandstand on Bognor Regis seafront from 10.30am and 3pm on Easter Sunday, weather permitting. A camera club spokesman said: "Middleton Camera Club is 'just a small village in Sussex' but yet managed to climb up to fourth place out of 15 entered clubs in this print competition. "THis success builds on last season when the club was awarded the most improved club in the federation's projected digital image competition. "For the latest competition, the club had to enter 12 prints, but they had to have been taken by a minimum of 10 different photographers. "For a club of Middleton's size, this is a fantastic result. "THe club's committee is

extremely proud of the club and of its members who work so hard to provide work that is now becoming recognised throughout the county." THe achievements in the federation's events follows the Middleton club's success in the latest MSW Cup interclub competition.

Children can unlock past with new displays as the museum re-opens KEYS to the past have been hidden around Bognor Regis Museum to mark a royal anniversary. THe golden keys are located around the attraction's displays to celebrate the 90th anniversary of King George V's stay. His recuperation at Craigweil House in Aldwick from a serious illness in 1929 led to him granting Bognor the right to the 'Regis' suffix. Chris Burstow, curator of the museum, run by the town's local history society, said the group wanted to ensure the milestone was remembered. He told guests at a preview night before the museum opened for 2019 on Saturday: "Outside, we have had some paintwork smartened up, complemented by the words 90 Years of Regis 1929-2019 and a giant golden key hanging under the swinging sign. "THe golden key was the town's marketing logo for many years - the strapline being THe Royal Key to Health. "THe society and museum will be celebrating the granting of the Royal suffix with a golden key-shaped cake at 11am on Friday, July 26. "Continuing the celebrations, we have replaced our Odd One Out quiz this season, with 12 golden keys hidden in the displays. "If children find all 12, they will receive a very small key as a memento." THe museum, in West Street, will stay open until November, thanks to the efforts of the society's volunteers. THey have been hard at work since its closure late last year to freshen

up the displays. Society chairman Greg Burt said: "We always look forward to a new season, particularly as this is an anniversary year. "We had about 6,000 visitors last year. THe number has dipped in recent years, but donations and takings in the shop have increased. I think this shows that the people who come to the museum are choosing to visit us rather than popping in because they are on their way to the bus stop." THose who go along this year will see the Riviera Lido model has been retired from next to the entrance. THis has enabled the large transparencies of town views to be moved forward and space created for a bright new colouring table for children, especially those too young to complete the quizzes. THe collection of ceramics which was in the left-hand window has been moved into the shop unit previously occupied by Wades Jewellers. THis has improved views into the museum from the outside. In front of the window is a mangle with some smalls to illustrate its use. Uncle Moe the Pawnbroker is displaying some new ranges and the radio room is freshened up with a homage to the radio stars of the 20s and 30s. Mr Burstow said: "Our Edwardian kitchen, a feature little altered since we came here in 2011, has been modernised. "However, you won't find any breadmakers or tumble driers, for we have only fast forwarded to the 1940s. "THis particular project has been very ambitious, as you will appreciate from

the sheer number of authentic items that have all been carefully researched, sourced and placed." Alice's Kitchen, as it is called, depicts a housewife called Alice musing on what to give her sweetheart to eat when he returns from the Second World War. He arose from the donation of a cast iron stove from the period a couple of years ago. Also featured among the 100-plus artefacts on show are a gas mask case and ration books to recreate the wartime feel of the display. Another new feature is a display about the town's ghostly features. Locations featured include THe Berkeley Arms, which formerly occupied the building, the Picturedrome cinema and Gravits Lane. "People are always asking about haunted places in the town," said Mr Burt. "We held out first ghost walk last year and we thought we would follow that with this display." THe panel about the Esplanade THeatre has also been refreshed with photos of many of the stars who performed there. THe museum is open from 10am-4pm Tuesdays to Fridays and bank holiday Mondays until the end of October. It will be open mornings only in November. Special events will again take place at halloween and Christmas. Two book sales and a valuation afternoon are also due to take place this summer.

` Dog fence put up A FENCE too high for dogs to jump over has been put up along the boundary of the Greensward in Felpham to help manage dog fouling. Access to the grass remains unrestricted via the gates on the western and eastern end of the green, and dogs are not banned. Director of place at Arun District Council, Karl Roberts, said: “As the fence is too high for dogs to jump over, it is hoped less fouling will occur as it is suspected that this happens when dogs are being walked off the lead either late in the evening, or early in the morning. “Although the majority of dog owners in Arun are responsible, we would urge everyone to pick up after their pets to keep our beautiful district clean.”

` Child centre PLANS have been approved to change a house in Bognor Regis to a child and family assessment centre. Arun District Council has backed the scheme by Foundation for Families for 17 Longford Road. THe centre will assess children who are considered to be at risk of harm.

` Quad bike stolen A RED-COLOURED Honda quad bike was stolen from a property in Eastergate Lane, Walberton, overnight on April 1. THe previous evening, a Kubota tractor was stolen overnight from a commercial business in Church Lane, Eastergate.

Future of Pagham is planned

SIX priorities have been identified by Pagham's councillors for the future of the area. THe parish council has compiled its wish list for the area as part of its work for its proposed neighbourhood plan. THe draft document has been put together to help to protect Pagham until 2029. It states: "THe parish council will secure funding from planning obligations and the Arun community infrastructure levy in order to make financial contributions to a number of infrastructure projects during the life of the plan. "Core priorities have been identified as: 1 flood protection from agricultural run-off 2 coastal protection 3 long-term pluvial (heavy rainfall) and fluvial (river) flood defence 4 securing a safe alternative cycle route to North Mundham and Chichester, avoiding the B2166 5 traffic-calming measures along Pagham Road 6 securing additional off-road parking within the villages "THe prioritisation and timing of these projects will be based on an assessment by the parish council of community need, viability and affordability and long-term community benefit and urgency." THe plan of some 50 pages has been submitted to Arun District Council to consider in line with its planning policies. A version of the neighbourhood plan will be put to a planning inspector to consider. Once that opinion has been received, Pagham's residents will have the chance to approve or reject it. If they back it, it will have official standing and will be used to influence plans around the parish.

Cllr David Huntley, the parish council's deputy chairman, said it its latest meeting: “We are also busy with the neighbourhood plan. We need one because we are vulnerable without it. THanks to everyone for their hard work on this.” THe parish council began work on a neighbourhood plan, in keeping with many of the parish councils around Bognor Regis, more than five years ago. THe initial effort was made by 30-plus individuals and councillors and was put to Arun. But, during the review, it was decided further work was required to understand the environmental impact of the plan's proposals. THe plan was revised to take account of these studies but the policies were at odds with Arun's decision to enable large numbers of homes to be built on sites in Pagham - and work on the neighbourhood plan was halted. But a parish council statement says: "THe council still considers the draft policies included in the plan to be of importance and looks forward to progressing it in the future." As well as infrastructure projects, the plan's initial version also seeks to protect shops in the area. it states: "THe parish council will support initiatives on high street renewal and encourages local traders and other partners to bring forward proposals to improve the vitality and viability of the Pagham Road and THe Parade village centres." A total of 14 potential assets of community value have been identified as well. THese include the village hall, the church hall and St Ninian's Church.# Sustainable transport is another priority with Pagham Road traffic speeds managed and parking spaces protected.

VOTING ta choose a Council. Electors ac chance on M they believe area in whic THe num reducing to previous 48

postnewspapers.co.uk

Friday, April 19, 2019

Election 15

Manifestos for elections in Bognor Regis in May VOTING takes place next month to choose a new Arun District Council. Electors across the area will have the chance on May 2 to select the person they believe will best represent the area in which they live. All the council's 54 seats on both sides of the River Arun will come up for election, with nearly 100 candidates

standing across Bognor Regis alone. Polling cards are being delivered to those eligible to have their say. Polling stations will be open from 7am-10pm. THe votes will be counted on May 3 and the results will be declared during the afternoon and evening. THe winners will take charge of Arun's duties, such as planning,

THE main priority for Conservative candidates is to continue with low council tax and give value for money. Every service that Arun provides is done for just under £3.50 a week - just 10 per cent of the overall tax bill. People expect and Conservatives deliver, a sound financial strategy which provides efficient and cost effective services for local residents. Job creation continues to be one of our top priorities. We have allocated essential land for employment and will continue to support the economic regeneration of the district by creating better paid jobs, increasing the skills base and encouraging apprenticeships. Housing is another key element and Arun has provided the greatest number of affordable homes in West Sussex over the last few years. We are also committed to building our own council houses again and will provide at least 250 new homes over the next few years and will ensure that local people always come first. THe council has recently built a new £16m leisure centre in

housing, environmental health and off-road parking. Before the election, Arun had 42 Conservative members, there were seven Liberal Democrats, four Independents and one Labour representative. At the same time, voting is also taking place for a new Bognor Regis Town

Littlehampton, which is now open for business, and significant improvements have also been made to the Arun Leisure Centre. Also, as part of our property investment strategy, the council has purchased THe Arcade in Bognor Regis, which will generate an income in the long term to the benefit of the council taxpayer. We have been very successful in getting funding from the Coastal Communities Fund for improvements to the town centres of Littlehampton and Bognor Regis and Conservatives are committed to the continued programme of regeneration of both towns, working with partners to make them attractive tourist destinations. Conservatives do not make promises or pledges that cannot be kept but have a proven track record of delivering on those they have made. Finally, Conservatives are committed to keeping a weekly bin collection, which we know is a priority for residents.

CONSER

VATIVE

PARTY

A GREATER number of candidates than in recent years are seeking election to Arun District Council outside of the party political system. THe Independents have decided they can represent residents best, if they are elected, by being able to vote freely on each issue. THose looking for votes on May 2 around the Bognor Regis area, and the wards in which they are standing, are: Aldwick East - Hugh Coster, Tony Dixon; Hotham - Steve Goodheart; Marine - Jim Brooks; Middleton-on-Sea: Shirley Haywood, Graham Jones; Orchard: Phil Woodall; INDEPEN Pagham: June DENTS Hamilton, David Huntley; Pevensey: Sandra Daniells. Contact the Independent councillors directly to find out about their policies.

LOCALLY, the Liberal Democrats are the main opposition group challenging the Conservatives' majority in Bognor Regis. THe size of the current Conservative majority means all decisions are made by a select few senior Conservatives. As the Labour party has only one district councillor, this really is a two-horse race, and a vote for them will simply mean the Conservatives have a better chance at maintaining the status quo. THe issues of over-development of local farmland, stalled regeneration and the Conservatives' plan to destroy the Sunken Garden in Bognor Regis are the big issues facing local people at this set of local elections. Conservative-controlled Arun District Council chose to allocate 2,500 houses to be built off Chalcraft Lane and another 1,200 in Pagham. THe Liberal Democrats have consistently fought against this and put a proposal forward at Arun to remove the housing from Bersted and Pagham. Sadly, the Conservatives voted this down. THe Liberal Democrats understand housing is important but it has to be affordable. Housing also needs appropriate school places, doctors' surgeries and parking. All of which the Conservatives are turning a blind eye to.

Council and to fill seats on Middletonon-Sea Parish Council and in Aldwick Parish Council's West ward. THose results will be declared as well on May 3. THe political parties in the district have submitted the information below setting out their policies and what they would like to achieve if they were elected.

THE Green Party is delighted to be standing candidates in wards across the district. For too long, our council has been dominated by one party, and this must been changed. Our key challenge is to mitigate the damage threatened by the council's destructive local plan, which is set to flood the area with swathes of housing over farmland and sites of importance for wildlife. THe controversial and badly thought-through proposed new A29 route will cause havoc for existing residents and bring thousands more cars to local roads. THis is happening alongside West Sussex County Council's announcement of more cuts to bus routes and public services. Your Green candidates will fight for transport solutions that do not force everyone into cars, adding to the existing congestion and pollution on our roads. Residents may be surprised to learn that Arun District Council does not have anyone publicly responsible for the environment - Greens mean to change this. We will push for accountability across all departments to be co-ordinated by one person. THis is crucial in the light of the climate change

emergency that is being declared nationally. We need policies that cut the use of fossil fuels - policies such as the use of sustainable energy, home insulation and public transport. We will also promote the development of community services so that the people who live in the area are adequately supported. We will fight for playing fields and green spaces, including orchards and allotments so that more food can be grown locally. We will ask for a think tank on the reduction of green waste, and more efficient recycling services, including food waste. We need our council to step up and take the lead on improving our environment for the benefit of the next generations, and we need Green councillors to achieve this.

THIS election is the most important election in the history of Bognor Regis. For too long, our town has LABOUR not been listened to by the Conservative-controlled Arun District Council. THey are pushing ahead with housing proposals in Pagham and Bersted against the wishes of residents, and despite promising regeneration of the two key sites at the Regis Centre and Hothamton for the past 30 years they have spectacularly failed to deliver. THe proposals for the Linear Park, along with blocks of flats, which do not guarantee the future of the health centre, and the Winter Gardens theme for the Regis Centre site, have been met with anger by residents and have no identified cash funding to take the plans forward. Arun do not care about our local heritage as the demolition of much-loved buildings in

Waterloo Square following neglect over many years has shown. Add to that the complete fiasco of the portable toilets on the promenade and one could be led to the conclusion the Conservative administration is not fit for purpose. THe Labour Party has a positive campaign with clear policies that is being well received on the doorsteps. Our main campaign pledges are: • Proper infrastructure and a minimum of 30 per cent affordable housing in new housing developments • Promoting the Sir Richard Hotham scheme, delivering £80m of regeneration • Supporting our local shops with two-hours' free parking at all town centre car parks • Protecting weekly bin collections, more often for some large communal refuse collection areas • Campaigning for reintroduction of police community support officers to curb rise in anti-social behaviour Vote for Labour for proper regeneration, better infrastructure and fully funded council services. We cannot carry on under Tory austerity and neglect any longer.

IF you are, like most people in this country, heartily sick and tired of politics at this moment, allow UKIP to give you some facts which are not widely published or broadcast. Locally - UKIP is fighting for the re-instatement of public transport, where bus services have been cut in several areas around Bognor Regis. Also for the re-instatement of wardens in sheltered accommodation, where vulnerable elderly people have been left to fend for themselves. We are also opposing the intended route of the A29 re-alignment through Shripney, as we strongly feel that this should join up with the Bognor Regis/Felpham bypass opposite Rolls-Royce, rather than cause congestion through Shripney. We also oppose the £3m expenditure by Arun District Council on the Linear Park, replacing the Sunken Garden, children's play park and some parking spaces. THis is not what most people want, and cannot be classed as 'regeneration', rather a means to build more flats! We will continue to support the work necessary

to protect the properties facing the seafront at Pagham from flooding, and also support the flood group which springs into action when Shripney is at risk of flood. Nationwide - UKIP's priorites are: freedom of speech, training more doctors and nurses in this country for the NHS, reform of the voting system to have fairer proportional representation of the people, reform the police and judicial system for our greater protection from harm and fairer access to justice. We will seek to lower business rates for small businesses to halt the closure of shops in town centres. If you believe in what we stand for, vote UKIP in the local elections on May 2.

PARTY

If the Liberal Democrats were the controlling group at Arun District Council, we would: • Transfer ownership of LIBERCRAALT the town hall and other DEMO local amenities from Arun to the people of Bognor Regis, through the town council and other community groups • Have a regeneration strategy that focuses on making the most of our seafront and promenade • Reverse the decision to destroy the Sunken Garden and refurbish it instead • Preserve and enhance our town's heritage assets • Make planning decisions more local • Invest more in day centre activities for the elderly • Invest in anti-social behaviour prevention THe councillors elected on May 2 will serve for four years. Bognor Regis is in desperate need of change. Please demand better and support the Liberal Democrats!

PARTY

Correction: In last week's Bognor Regis Post, we incorrectly identified a candidate in the Bognor Regis Town Council elections as standing for the Liberal Democrats. Simon McDougall is standing for Labour in the Hatherleigh ward.

LETTERS to the editor

` Burglaries linked POLICE are appealing for witnesses after burglaries in four houses in Aldwick and Bersted on Sunday, March 31, and Monday, April 1. Properties in Grangewood Drive, Alborough Way and Grangefield Way in Aldwick and Van Gogh Place in Bersted were broken into while the victims were asleep. Investigating officer PC Richard Emmett said: “All of the victims involved are elderly and the suspect(s) targeted the properties when they knew the occupants would be asleep. “Money was taken from nearly all of the properties and the intrusion has understandably, shaken the victims. “A red mountain bike was recovered from one of the Aldwick burglaries, however, this did not belong to the victim. “THe bike had been stolen a few days before these burglaries took place and we believe this could have been the mode of transport of the suspect(s). “Did you see anyone on a red mountain bike or someone acting suspiciously in this area around this time?” he asked. Report information online or by calling 101 quoting 64 of 31/03.

Dear Editor I read with interest your report about the proposed Hook Lane development, but I feel that you have overlooked an important point. THe developer, Hallam Land Management, has lodged an appeal with the secretary of state (ref APP/ C3810/W/19/3223144) which refers to the planning application P6/17/ OUT, which was refused by Arun, the inquiry for which is due to be convened during October, 2019. In the meantime, Hallam has submitted a revised planning

Dear Editor, Have you noticed and do correct me if I am wrong? But if you draw a line from Elmer going north, it appears that the councillors for Arun show that the east has the most councillors. Can this possibly reflect on the

application P/30/19/OUT which is basically the same as the already refused application and this is due to be decided by the council in July, 2019. My point is that the revised planning application P/30/19/OUT should be delayed or deferred until after the decision from the Planning Inspectorate inquiry has been heard and the decision made, not four months in advance.

Club's success on its 'biggest day' THEY were winners on the pitch, but more importantly Aldwick Cricket Club and the community were huge winners off it as the Fredricks-Knight pavilion officially opened its doors last Sunday. THe sunshine shone and, despite a chilly wind, more than 300 people flocked to see what the club had to offer and they were not disappointed. THe pavillion was officially opened by Arun District Council representative Paul Broggi, who was instrumental in the building being built, alongside vicechairman of the 1st Central Cricket League, Mark Jeffries, Mick Fredricks, Ian Guppy and Jim Smith. Ian paid tribute to all who had helped make the grand opening possible, with fears that the club may fold after the events more than two years earlier when the club lost everything in an arson attack. He also paid tribute to former player Ryan Purvis, who passed away 18 months

ago, with Ryan being immortalised in the mural the club had commissioned by local artist Chloe Dowsett. THe children's cricket taster session was well attended, showing what Aldwick Cricket Club will be offering on THursday evenings in May, June and July as part of the ECB All Stars campaign. Bognor Regis Town FC mascot Rocky the Bear won the mascot race by a paw ahead of Sussex CCC's Sid the Shark, with Twinkle, the ECB All Stars mascot, being the star of the show. On the pitch, Aldwick CC triumphed against a Sussex Cricket Foundation XI with Ed White unbeaten on 61 and Ian Horner scoring a blistering 44 as they chased down the target of 176 with an over spare. Ian added: "THe day will probably go down as the biggest in the club's history. A day that we opened that doors to the community and a day that will hopefully set us up to literally rise from the ashes."

MORE than a dozen staff at West Sussex County Council earn at least £100,000 per year, a report has revealed. In its annual ‘town hall rich list’, the Taxpayers’ Alliance also claimed a further 18 staff within the district and borough councils broke the £100k mark for salary/pension in 2017/18. Over the past few years, councils all over the county have fought to balance their budgets, receiving less and less money from central government and having to make spending cuts of their own to make ends meet. But many felt the high salaries paid to their top staff – particularly the chief executive – were in line with those of other councils and helped them to attract and keep the best people for the job. At the county council, the top earners included chief executive Nathan Elvery, who was paid £190,000 with a £46,930 pension. Others were the director of adults’ services – £119,382 and £29,487 pension; the director of finance, performance & procurement – £123,347 salary and £30,467 pension; the director of education & skills – £110,000 salary and £27,170 pension; and the director of highways & transport – £110,000 salary and £27,170 pension. THe report listed a total of 16 highpaid roles at the county council, including two – with salaries of £112,500 and £117,500 – which were listed as ‘undisclosed’ but a spokesman said he ‘did not recognise’ them. At Arun District Council, chief executive Nigel Lynn pocketed a salary of £118,000, while his pension contributions were £24,000.

THe director of place, who is responsible for areas such as development control and economic policy, earned a £90,000 salary plus £16,000 pension. THe figures were the same for the director of services. A council spokesman said: “THe chief executive leads the organisation and therefore has the highest level of accountability for a wide range of services across the whole of the Arun district. “Arun has one of the largest populations in West Sussex, serving more than 160,000 residents. “THe remuneration of the chief executive is recommended by the council’s remuneration committee and

the decision is democratically endorsed by full council. “THis committee comprises of elected councillors from the main political parties and determines the pay of the chief executive on appointment and annually thereafter. “THe remuneration committee takes into account recommendations concerning performance from the chief executive appraisal panel. “It also reviews market data relevant to chief executive pay for a large district such as Arun.” Report by Karen Dunn, local democracy reporter

Criticism of health spending cutbacks WALKING meetings and walking breaks were among the ideas suggested at West Sussex County Council to try to reduce obesity. Members were discussing £85million of recent cuts to the government’s public health budget, which had ‘stymied’ the ongoing efforts of local authorities to improve people’s lifestyles. A notice of motion was tabled by Cllr Dr James Walsh (LD, Littlehampton East) in which he asked the council to write to the government and call for more investment, with ‘fair and equitable funding for West Sussex’.

Cllr Dr Walsh and Cllr Dr Kate O’Kelly (LD, Midhurst) praised the work of the council’s own public health team and stressed the importance of a preventative approach to healthcare, both for the sake of residents and the public purse. Cllr Dr Walsh, pictured below, called the current obesity epidemic a ‘huge and rapidly growing crisis’, caused largely by people consuming too much sugar and carbohydrates, while not getting enough exercise. Describing prevention as ‘vital’, Cllr Dr O’Kelly said called for more efforts to be made by employers to keep their

workforce healthy. Speaking during what would be a fivehour meeting recently, she said workers should be expected to take walking breaks during the day, and asked why meetings could not be held while walking, rather than sitting at desks. “It is absurd for the government to be reducing our public health grant. THe public health budget is decreasing yearon-year until 2020," she said. Accusing central government of driving local government ‘into the ground’, she added: “It’s time to call this government out. THis and other councils are doing their level best to cope – but enough is enough.”

Cllr Dr Walsh’s notice of motion called on the council to ‘condemn’ the government’s decision to ‘sneak out’ news of the funding cut just before Christmas. While unwilling to do that, Cllr Amanda Jupp, the county's cabinet member for adults and health, tabled an amendment which ‘expressed disappointment’ instead. Cllr Mrs Jupp (C, Billingshurst) said: “Public health is the golden thread throughout everything we do in the county. And if we don’t embed it in the county council, we’re not going to get anywhere. “We have really done some very good

things since the transition of public health to local government in 2013. “We need to review public health spend against public health outcomes to ensure the quality of services remain high and are effective for our residents.” Public Health England has West Sussex listed as 19th out of 150 authorities for its efforts to tackle childhood obesity. THat work has included working with primary school meal provider Chartwells to reduce sugar in children’s meals by 73 per cent over the last four years. THere was no extra cost for the scheme – which benefited 30,000 pupils per day. Report by Karen Dunn, local democracy reporter

Hearing is the only sense which never goes to sleep Sight & Sound 5 High Street, Bognor Regis, West Sussex PO21 1RQ Tel: 01243 823144 Email: info@sightandsound.org. uk www.sightandsound.org.uk OUR HEARING is the only one of our senses which is always active even when we are asleep. Everyday situations and quality of life can be affected by hearing loss, ranging from social and family inter-action, work, education and keeping us safe from harm. And there are all the things you could miss - music, the laughter of children, or the caring words whispered by a loved person or what about nature’s comforting sounds - the evening song of a blackbird, the wind in the autumn leaves, the waves on the beach or the cracking sounds of a cosy bonfire. Our hearing constantly supplies us with vital information, as well causing us to experience emotions and recall memories.

Natural hearing

instrument in a symphony orchestra, or participate in intimate conversations in a noisy environment.

A healthy hearing system can recognise both low sounds (a double-bass or traffic) and high (a violin or the twittering of birds). In technical terms, which means frequencies between around 20 and 20,000 Hertz. What’s more, it can process very quiet sounds (the buzzing of a mosquito) and extremely loud sounds (a jet engine starting). This equates to volumes between 0 and more than 120 decibels.

Our brain hears sounds 360 degrees around the head – at every angle around our head. Our brain can differentiate between front and back, up and down. This lets us tell where a sound is coming from, how big a room is or whether there is an obstruction in the area.

Understanding speech

Latest technology

Our brain is particularly adept at understanding language, which it can cope with in all its various facets and in every situation. Whether we are sitting in a café, on the phone or in a lecture, our brain filters out a flood of irrelevant sounds to concentrate on those that we need to hear. It is thanks to this facility that we are able to focus on a single

Freeze your fat away ready for a slimmer summer Sculpt your body Solent Medi Spa, 16 Westgate, Chichester PO19 6EU Tel: +44 07926 907 126 Email: gosia@sculptyourbody.co.uk www.sculptyourbody.co.uk LACK of confidence in her body image meant Gosia Tomicka had always disliked summer with the prospect of wearing revealing clothes - but now she can't wait for the sunshine and putting on her shorts. THe reason is because she discovered cryogenic fat reduction, a safe and non-invasive treatment, which reduces stubborn fat in problem areas with bulges, such as the tummy and inner thighs. THe more she investigated the treatment, now the number one cosmetic procedure in the United States, the more Gosia became keen to try it so she took the plunge and went on a training course. Harvard Medical University researchers came up with the idea of fat freezing after they noticed children who ate lots of ice lollies had less fat in their cheeks than other children and realised there might be a correlation between fat reduction in the body and cold temperatures. THey proved freezing kills fat cells but, because fat cells freeze at a higher temperature than other bodily tissues, no damage is done to the surrounding areas. Once the fat cells have been frozen and die off, they will disappear through the body's natural metabolic processes. THe American trials resulted in 85 per cent of the study group losing between 20 and 40 per cent of the fat cells in the treated areas over a 12week period. Having tried the treatments herself, Gosia became more confident and happier with her body and looked for an opportunity to share her new enthusiasm and skill with other people who could benefit. She explained her philosophy with her clients: "I have a background in teaching and I have come across many people who suffer from negativity, resulting from a poor body image, and

this has an effect on every aspect of their life, especially self-esteem. "I want to help people to be brave enough to change their bodies and be the best version of themselves they can be." By coincidence, just as she had finished training, an opportunity arose to take up a room and equipment in central Chichester to continue with the existing successful Cryosculpt business there, based in the Solent Medi Spa at 16 Westgate, and now she is looking to spread the word of the benefits of the procedure, which is overtaking liposuction in popularity. Every treatment and result is individual but most people will need two or three sessions to see a visible improvement but prior to treatment, a free no-obligation initial consultation will be given so Gosia can understand what clients want to achieve, based upon factors such as the amount and type of fat they want to get rid of and their general lifestyle habits. Being non-invasive, the treatment is completely natural and safe, although there may be a little temporary redness of the treated skin. As well as fat freezing, Gosia offers non-surgical facelifts involving radio frequency skin tightening. Again, the latest technology is behind the technique with the skin being heated by high frequency waves to plump up the collagen under the surface, resulting in a firmer, smoother skin. A combination of the cryo method and radio frequency can be used to reduce cellulite, especially in hard to treat areas, such as thighs. THe treatment is completely painfree and non-invasive and can be used to reduce the effects of pregnancy, weight loss or wrinkles due to ageing. As part of her aim to make the treatments accessible, rather than exclusive, Gosia has a reasonable pricing structure, including special offers to prepare for summer. Her final words to anyone considering the value of cryogenic fat reduction and, as someone who has used it herself, are: "It's an all-natural process, really simple and clever. Your body does all the work. It's amazing."

Healthy gums and a healthy body Q: Could the health of my mouth affect my general health? A: Yes. THere are new findings which support something that dental professionals have suspected for a long time: infections in the mouth can be linked with problems in other parts of the body. Q: What problems could my dental health cause? A: Problems which may be caused or made worse by poor dental health include heart disease, strokes, diabetes, giving birth to a premature or low birth-weight baby, respiratory (lung) disease. Recent large-scale studies have shown that the medical costs for patients with diabetes, cardiovascular disease or strokes, and for pregnant women, can be significantly less if their gum disease is treated thoroughly. THis is just another reason to make sure you always look after the health of your teeth and gums at home and visit the dental team regularly.

If you are serious about your health and your teeth - you will need to exercise, eat a healthy, balanced diet and keep to a normal body weight.

Q: How could bacteria in the mouth affect my lungs? A: Bacterial chest infections are thought to be caused by breathing in fine droplets from the throat and mouth into the lungs. People with gum disease have more bacteria in their mouths and may therefore be more likely to get chest infections. THis particularly affects frail, elderly people who may die from pneumonia caused by breathing in bacteria from their mouth. Good oral hygiene for this group of people is therefore particularly important.

For more information,  visit the website at: www.dentalhealth. org or call the Oral Health Foundation on 01788 539780.

Healthy gums and a healthy body Q: What signs should I look out for? A: Visit your dental team if you have any of the symptoms of gum disease, which can include: inflammation of the gums, causing them to be red, swollen and to bleed easily, especially when brushing; an unpleasant taste in your mouth; bad breath; loose teeth; regular mouth infections. Q: Do I need to tell my dentist about any changes to my general health? A: Always tell your dental team about any changes to your general health. It is especially important to tell them if you are pregnant, or have heart disease, diabetes, lung disease or have ever had a stroke. You also need to tell them about any medicines you are taking as these can affect both your treatment and the health of your mouth. Q: Does gum disease run in families? A: Although there is some evidence that gum disease runs in families, the main cause is the plaque that forms on the surface of your teeth. To prevent gum disease, you need to make sure you remove all the plaque from your teeth every day by brushing, and by cleaning in between your teeth.

regular check-ups with the dental team, as often as they recommend. People who stay fit and healthy are 40 per cent less likely to develop tooth-threatening gum infections which could lead to gum disease. It also found that not exercising, not keeping to a normal body weight and unhealthy eating habits made a person much more likely to get advanced gum disease. If you are serious about your health - and your teeth - you will need to exercise, eat a healthy, balanced diet and keep to a normal body weight. Q: Can smoking affect my teeth and gums? A: Smoking can make gum disease much worse. People who smoke are more likely to produce bacterial plaque that leads to gum disease. THe gums are affected because smoking means you have less oxygen in your bloodstream, so the infected gums do not heal. Smoking can also lead to tooth staining, tooth loss because of gum disease, bad breath, and in more severe cases, mouth cancer.

Q: How can I help to stop my gum disease getting worse? A: If you have gum disease, your dental team will usually give your teeth a thorough clean to remove any scale or tartar. THis may take a number of sessions with the dental team. THey will also show you how to remove the soft plaque yourself, by cleaning all the surfaces of your teeth thoroughly at home. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria which forms on the teeth every day. Gum disease is never cured. But as long as you keep up the home-care you have been taught you can slow down its progress and even stop it altogether. You must make sure you remove plaque every day and go for

DENISE KELLY

A passionate and motivated 'health expert/nutritionist.

Could a ketogenic diet help get you that summer body?

What Is Ketosis? Ketosis is a metabolic state in which fat provides most of the fuel for the body. It occurs when there is limited access to glucose (blood sugar), which is the preferred fuel source for many cells in the body. To go into ketosis, people generally need to eat fewer than 50 grams of carbohydrates per day and sometimes as little as 20 grams per day. THis requires removing certain food items from your diet, such as grains, sweets and sugary foods and soft drinks. THe bit I don’t like is the suggestions of cutting back on legumes, potatoes and fruit. I think sweet potatoes and fruit in moderation are a fabulous edition to any diet, as are legumes with every meal, but if this diet is getting people to seriously think about good fats such as avocados, nuts and seeds etc in their everyday eating then it can only be a good thing. When eating a very low-carb diet, levels of the hormone insulin go down and fatty acids are released from body fat stores in large amounts. Many of these fatty acids are transferred to the liver, where they are oxidized and turned into ketones (or ketone bodies). THese molecules can provide energy for the body and increase your brain power. Unlike fatty acids, ketones can cross the

2. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a disease marked by hormonal dysfunction that often results in irregular periods and infertility. One of its hallmarks is insulin resistance, and many women with PCOS are obese and have a hard time losing weight. Women with PCOS are also at an increased risk for type 2 diabetes. THose who meet the criteria for metabolic syndrome tend to have symptoms that affect their appearance. Effects may include increased facial hair, acne and other signs of masculinity related to higher testosterone levels. 3. Diabetes People with diabetes often experience impressive reductions in blood sugar levels on a ketogenic diet. THis is true of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Dozens of controlled studies show that a very low-carb diet helps control blood sugar.

www.denisekelly.co.uk Tel: 07730671436 Email: denise@ thewellbeingcompanyltd.com WITH celebrities all over the world raving about it, such as Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lebron James and Tim Tebow, what is this ever growing, famous ketogenic diet all about? THe ketogenic diet is a very lowcarb, high-fat diet that shares many similarities with the Atkins and low-carb diets. While I am not a massive fan of anything too extreme, I think it’s good to take the helpful bits when people are getting great results from certain diet plans. Basically, what it involves is drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat. THis reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state called Ketosis.

activity of children with epilepsy, they found improvements in various brain patterns in 65 per cent of those following a ketogenic diet — regardless of whether they had fewer seizures.

4. Some Cancers Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Many researchers note that elevated blood sugar, obesity

blood-brain barrier and provide energy for the brain in the absence of glucose. Ketogenic diets can cause massive reductions in blood sugar and insulin levels. THis, along with the increased ketones, has numerous health benefits as well as weight loss, which I am finding all my clients wanting this time of year as the sun comes out, the days become warmer and more flesh is exposed! So, what diseases can be helped by eating this way? 1. Epilepsy Epilepsy is a disease that causes seizures due to excessive brain activity. Anti-seizure medications are effective for some people with epilepsy; however, others don't respond to the drugs or can't tolerate their side effects. Of all the conditions that may benefit from this particular diet plan, epilepsy has by far the most evidence supporting it. In fact, there are several dozen studies on the topic. Research shows that seizures typically improve in about 50 per cent of epilepsy patients who follow the classic ketogenic diet. THis is also known as a 4:1 ketogenic diet because it provides four times as much fat as protein and carbs combined. THe ketogenic diet may also have benefits on the brain beyond seizure control. For example, when researchers examined the brain

and type 2 diabetes are linked to breast and other cancers. THey suggest that restricting carbs in order to lower blood sugar and insulin levels may help prevent tumour growth, particularly brain cancers. It can help with the preservation of muscle mass and slowed tumour growth in cancer patients who follow a ketogenic diet in conjunction with radiation or other anti-cancer therapies. Although it may not have a significant impact on disease progression in advanced and terminal cancers, the ketogenic diet has been shown to be safe in these patients and potentially improve quality of life. So if you want to shed a few pounds, Improve your general health and get beach ready, I think following some of the Keto rules might be a great place to start. If you are tired of feeling down and unwell, or want help to lose those extra pounds, having a more personalised approach to your diet planning might be the push that you need.

How to feel young and hip again Nuffield Health Tel: 01243 884552 www.nuffieldhealth.com/hospitals/ chichester MICK MORRIS is an active 72-year-old man, who lives in Waterlooville and works full-time as an architect. Since Mick developed arthritis in his left hip five years ago, normal everyday activities such as going on long walks, gardening and being able to be intimate with his partner, became a struggle. Now, six months after having a hip replacement, Mick explains what life has been like and why he would recommend this procedure to anyone who has a damaged hip and is considering surgery. I first started to feel pain in my left hip around five years ago and while it was something I could handle at the beginning, the pain gradually got to the stage where it was unbearable. Simple tasks such as getting in the car, putting socks on in the morning and walking to the pub to meet friends became very difficult. THe building sites I visited for work became very dangerous places. I tried to do everything possible to avoid putting pressure on my hip, and I developed a pronounced limp, which is when I knew I could not continue to live life this way.

I have to admit, I was a little nervous at the prospect of surgery, however I felt extremely reassured by the expertise of Mr Moss and his confidence in the procedure.

Many advantages to permanent make-up Dianne Gill Tel: 07808 730985 PERMANENT make-up treatment has many advantages for modern women, ranging from saving time and replacing lost eyebrow hair to offering an alternative for people with skin allergies. We asked Fontwell-based practitioner Dianne Gill to give us some information about this growing trend and her involvement with it. Q: Have you always been interested in beauty treatments? A: Yes I have. In the past I have done bridal makeovers and I became interested in permanent make-up a few years ago. Q: Have you tried the treatment yourself? A: Yes I did. I was leading a busy life and wanted to save time making up my eyebrows daily. I loved the result, too. Q: How did you come to set up in business?

A: THat was nine months ago and my business is really getting established

Q: Do other nearby salons offer the same service? A: As far as I know, the nearest is at Worthing. Currently clients come to my home for a friendly, relaxed treatment in a comfortable setting.

Q: Who comes to see you for eyebrow treatment? A: Although initially permanent makeup was seen as something for the mature woman, it is now appealing across all age ranges.

Q: Is it a complicated procedure? A: No. I offer a free initial consultation, followed by the dyeing treatment, during which the client has bespoke treatment according to their wishes, after a topup session, the effect will then last for a year whatever your activity - working, at the gym or out in rain, there's no need to worry about the make-up smudging or wearing off.

Micro-Pigmentation Micro-Pigmentation is sometimes referred to as Permanent Makeup, or Cosmetic Tattooing. THe process of applying pigment just under the skin is similar to traditional tattooing as it typically performed on women wishing to enhance certain facial features, such as the eyes or the lips. Individuals who choose to undergo Micro-Pigmentation may have physical limitations that make applying makeup difficult or people may choose it as a way to save time. As well, people suffering from alopecia, a form of hair loss may choose this art form to create an appearance of eyebrows and eyelashes where the hair has been lost.

Every April, as the tax year changes, everyone is a bit more conscious of the money collected by the Government for taxes and this month there is another complication with the introduction of Making Tax Digital when every VAT-registered business will have to submit their regular returns online through computer systems. Most people would rather concentrate on running their businesses efficiently instead of spending hours at a keyboard trying to make sense of figures but making sense of figures is exactly what the skilled staff at Matthews Hanton has been doing since 1971. Although it is so well established and has built up a strong client base throughout Bognor Regis, Chichester and the wider area, its staff members have not lost the friendly and approachable ethos while providing efficient and cost-effective advice and service to fulfil a range of accountancy, audit and book-keeping needs. Matthews Hanton also offers other services outside the normal accountancy sector and can help in all matters regarding probate. THis includes from writing up a Last Will and Testament, to helping to minimise inheritance tax. Essential accounting procedures applicable for sole traders and micro businesses can be handled alongside the needs of medium and large companies. Whether the reports are for shareholders or Companies House, accounts are produced in accordance with the latest accounting regulations set out by the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) from the Government, and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Matthews Hanton also has experience in dealing with business sectors that require special accounts to be produced, including charities, farming and trusts. If required, an adviser can even attend board meetings or help interpret a business' financial results if required. Auditing can be a compulsory requirement of many businesses and organisations and an objective, experienced and impartial service providing a detailed and honest account of any company is available. Government legislation and THe Companies Act places strict requirements on companies to submit compulsory documents on set deadlines and Matthews Hanton can support businesses in these obligations, such as submitting annual returns to Companies House. On a more every-day level and to further reduce the administration burden on owners of small businesses, the firm can cope with regular book-keeping and payroll processes. Self-employed people and other individuals who need help with their own taxation and, perhaps, advice on other financial matters, can also consult Matthews Hanton with the assurance their needs will be dealt with as competently as the requirements of the largest company clients.

3 Faces is Out of Blue at New Park April 19-25

BANNED director Jafar Panahi’s funny, perceptive road movie, 3 Faces, looks at Iran’s difficult relationship with the film, the director’s fourth since incurring the wrath of the country’s officials and which could land him in jail. When a distressed young woman, Marziyeh, sends a video to him and to famous actress Behnaz Jafari, they drive to Marziyeh’s village near the Turkish border to investigate why she was banned by her parents to attend acting classes, wishing her to marry. Director Carol Morley’s new film, Out of Blue, stars Patricia Clarkson as Mike Hoolihan, a morose New Orleans police detective investigating the homicide of Jennifer Rockwell, an astrophysicist (Mamie Gummer). But can Mike navigate increasing existential questions to solve the mystery? THis stylish psychological whodunnit also stars the ubiquitous Toby Jones and James Caan. From Belgium comes the simply stunning Girl. Victor Polster plays Lara, and is outstanding as a trans 15-year-old auditioning for ballet school in Lukas Dhont’s tender, intense, emotional debut drama. Under the Silver

Lake, a very modern thriller comedy set in LA, follows Sam (Andrew Garfield) who is obsessed with a mysterious woman who vanishes, the film an homage to Hollywood history and classic films. It’s the day before Christmas and Holly Burns (Julia Roberts) gets the most unexpected surprise in Ben is Back. She returns home with her three children to find her 19-year-old son waiting on the doorstep. But he’s supposed to be in drug rehab. Lucas Hedges (Boy Erased) is Ben, the next 24 hours testing Holly and her family as new truths are revealed.

Despite the hard efforts of Marvel’s finest heroes the Mad Titan succeeded in his plan to rid the universe of half of its population and the likes of Black Panther, Groot, Spider-Man, and others were turned to dust by THanos’ snap. Where there are still heroes, there is still hope. THis time Iron Man and Captain America will need to put their differences aside for good if they’re to bring back their friends and family. Luckily, AntMan, Hawkeye, and Captain Marvel arrive to tip the balance. Explicit details about the movie’s plot are understandably scarce but we know Tony Stark is left adrift in space while the disillusioned heroes back on Earth put their final plan into action. Avengers: Endgame will most certainly be the last time we see many of these familiar faces, to let’s hope the Russo brothers send them off in style.

Community News & Views fit A resort g for a Kin IT WAS 90 years ago King George V and Queen Mary came to Bognor for their historic visit. THe Bognor Regis Post will be publishing weekly excerpts from archive editions of THe Times to show how it informed its readers about the monarch's recovery from a lung illness: Wednesday, March 27 - THe Queen, with Princess Elizabeth, who has been staying at Craigweil House while the Duke and Duchess of York were at Oslo for the Royal wedding, travelled from Bognor to London by special train yesterday morning. Her Majesty drove with her granddaughter to the residence of the Duke and Duchess of York in Picadilly. In the evening, the Queen returned to Bognor by train. THursday, March 28 - THe Prime Minister, who travelled to Bognor in the morning, and proceeded to Craigweil House introduced to his Majesty the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York, who took the oath of loyalty on their appointments. After the ceremony, Mr Baldwin had an audience with the King, which lasted about half an hour. THe two Archbishops arrived at Craigweil House from THe Moorings, Aldwick, where the Archbishop of Canterbury has been staying to recuperate after his illness, a little before the Prime Minister. THe Archbishops assumed their ceremonal robes, and his Majesty wore a frock coat. THe ceremony lasted only a few minutes and followed the traditional procedure. THe Archbishops and the Prime Minister stayed to lunch with the Queen and Mr Baldwin returned to London in the afternoon.

BULGARIAN author Hasan Hasan has combined his homeland and Bognor Regis in his latest book. Hasan has penned the academic study, Anthroponyms in genealogical structures from the village of Konop, about the region in which he was born. He says the book will be of interest to specialists in the field of onomastics, or the study of the origin of names, geographers and historians. He also hopes representatives of the families in his study will find the results of his work informative along with anyone who wants to discover the origins of different names and cultural histories. He launched the publication, which is in his native language, at an event attended by his fellow members of Bognor Regis Local History Society. He hopes the town's library will hold his book. Manual worker Hasan, pictured above with his book and his guests at the event, said he had lived in Bognor Regis for nearly three years. "THe town is one of the two birthplaces of the book and that's why the readers will also find pictures from Bognor Regis inside, as the last part of the book - the appendix - was created here. THe bigger part of the editing process of the entire text of the book has been done in Bognor Regis. "THe connection with the editor, Rosen Velchev, and the other people from different countries involved with the process, has been done via the internet," he said. "Actually, the text and the photos in the book have been sent from Bognor Regis to the publising house in my country, Bulgaria." Hasan, 54, of High Street, lived in Konop for 25 years after he was born in Omurtag, in north east Bulgaria. He holds masters degrees in geography and public administration. Having worked in the field of transport, education and public transport, he has authored numerous articles and papers in onomastics. THese have included the Turkish and Bulgarian language, Turkish Tales (2000), and My Grandmother's Tales (1995).

A HELP to Claim service at Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice can provide advice about how to claim universal credit. THe service will enable visitors to the Citizens Advice at Bognor Regis Town Hall led by Luca Badioli, pictured above - to gain support through the application process for the benefit. A spokesman said: "THe support provided will vary depending on individual need, but might include things such as: helping someone gather evidence of their housing or childcare costs; ensuring people know that alternative payment arrangements are available; and offering advice on what to expect at a work coach appointment and how to prepare for it." THe service is available during the centre's opening times of 10am4.30pm on weekdays. It is also available at the centres in Chichester and Littlehampton.

Gillian Guy, the chief executive of Citizens Advice, said: "We've seen first hand what can happen when people struggle to make a claim and their payments are delayed. "Delivering this new service will give us even greater insight into people's experiences.

A UNIQUE performance will open the 2019 Southdowns Folk Festival in Bognor Regis. THe first night will feature the area's first staging of the hugely acclaimed THe Ballard of Johnny Longstaff presented by the three-time BBC Folk Award winners, THe Young 'Uns, pictured below. THe performance will take place on September 19 at the town's Alexandra THeatre in the Regis Centre. Festival chairman Roger Nash said: "We are really delighted that THe Young 'Uns have chosen us and the Alexandra THeatre to stage their new and unique piece of modern folk theatre on our opening night. "THe production has already played in many parts of the UK with fantastic feedback. "It tells the true story of one man's adventure from begging on the streets in the north of England to fighting fascism in the Spanish Civil War, taking in the 1930s hunger marches and the East End of London's Battle of Cable Street. "It's a timely, touching and often hilarious musical adventure following the footsteps of one working class hero who witnessed some of the momentous events of that era. "With their trademark harmony, honesty and humour, THe Young 'Uns bring together 16 specially composed songs, spoken work, striking imagery and the real recorded voice of Johnny himself to tell a remarkable human story oozing with modern relevance. THe review in THe Guardian of the performance said: "THe harmonies are glorious, the wit is waspish. THe songs are powerful, the banter is relentless and the audience is happy. What's not like?" THe opening night treat is just one feature of a star-studded line-up across the four days of the well-established festival around Bognor Regis town centre. Headlining the event are the legendary Lindisfarne and other big folk names to appear will be Oysterband, Blair Dunlop and 3 Daft Monkeys. Tickets for all the concerts and four day packages are available from regiscentre.co.uk and the Regis Centre's box office on 01243 861010. Four day packages are also available at ticketcrowd.co.uk, WeGotTickets.com or eventbrite.co.uk THe festival also contains some workshops and free events.

A MULTI-MILLION pound government investment means every police force in England and Wales now has a dedicated Cyber Crime Unit in place to tackle one of the most complex policing challenges, it has been announced. Sussex Police was a pioneer in this area of policing and has had a collaborated unit with Surrey Police for four years. THe government cash injection means the unit has been able to increase in size, bringing on board a new detective constable and a new role in Cyber Protect and Prepare, to support victims of cyber crime, whether that be individuals or businesses. Cyber crime includes hacking or the use of a stolen credit card to buy an item online, where a person sends funds to a criminal after receiving a fraudulent email or the use of online chat forums for child criminal exploitation. THe joint Surrey and Sussex specialist unit investigates cybercrime, while also providing advice to any officer across the force who encounters a cyber element within their investigation. DCI Andy Richardson, who oversees the Surrey and Sussex unit, said: “For some time now, cyber crime has been a key area of development for us and we can, and do, investigate and convict the people committing these crimes. "We’ve adapted to respond to the digital environment to ensure we’re relentless in our pursuit of criminals and reducing crime wherever that crime is committed." Prevention was also a key aspect of the strategy, he added.

By Sylvia Endacott

Postcards provide views into history of town The snapshots show interesting signts about the development of the area ‘BYGONE Bognor’ is a phrase often used and of course it can mean so many things to so many people, according to their age. THis week, however, I thought we could take a look at the centre of the town early in the 20th century with the aid of some popular postcards of that time and a town guidebook. I should first mention that these cards have some interesting facets, such as the one which shows St John’s Church on the right of the picture, but clearly notes the area as Station Road, hence a word of warning when researching local history! THere is another card in this series, which shows the seafront, but notes the building as Blake’s Cottage, which is inland. Another point to note is that these cards have numbers and the initials LL on them. THey are in a range produced by Louis Levy, a French photographer, who from around 1905 established an office in London. It is believed that Louis travelled the countryside to either take or obtain photographs that he could produce into his own particular style of postcard. THey are very distinctive and today very collectable. If you go to any postcard fair you will see people with their checklist, crosschecking their list and seeing if the card for sale is one they have been seeking for months.

It is also possible to purchase ‘LL’ cards with a scene that is available from another postcard producer - one such is a photograph of children in the sea at Bognor, which is a WP Marsh photograph – a local photographer. In the 1912 Bognor Official Guide to the town and district, St John’s Church is mentioned as having two entrances in London Road and Sudley Road and the report continues, ‘it is a handsome church in the early English style of architecture’, and concludes that the building was estimated to be able to seat in the region of 900 persons. Also in this guidebook it states that ‘the town of Bognor is pleasantly and most beautifully situated on the south coast, and is one of the most healthy towns in the United Kingdom.’ As with all pictures and images of this era it is interesting to note the modes or transport and dress of the people who have been captured in the scene. Can you imagine the multicoloured cards of today being viewed with such interest? Also note the trees that adorn part of the environment at this point in time. Picture No 50, which was sent from Highfield Road, Bognor, to South Wales, again shows London Road but this time from its junction with the High Street, and clearly shows the newly constructed buildings on the right hand side, where Bon Marche now stands.

'Bognor is becoming increasingly popular because of the soil, the climate, the temperature, the general immunity from fogs, the pure water supply and the accessibility of London' - the 1912 guidebook

f This view is in London Road, despite the caption

f The Arcade soon became a popular subject for postcards

f The houses in the High Street have gone - but the clock remains

THis side of London Road was erected in 1914. On the left hand side we can see the flint wall and trees and shrubs that would have bordered the grounds of some of the houses. THis area, which consisted of houses known as Meadowcroft and THe Lawns were eventually purchased and developed into the Burtons shop (now Trespass), Marks & Spencer (New Look) and others to deprive the town centre of these flint walls and trees. Postcard No 20 shows the Arcade, with the bicycles standing outside, the Timothy White Company on the left and the library can be seen on the right. THis card was posted in 1912 to Clacton-on-Sea, another English seaside resort. THe Arcade was opened in 1902 and the subject of many postcards of this particular time, being a popular view to send home to friends and family. THe Timothy White Company eventually moved across the road to the corner of the High Street, on to the site originally occupied by the Congregational Church. Again in the Bognor Official Guide the Arcade is described in detail while reminding town residents of 'York House, with its well treed garden', which was always seen as a feature in the High Street and then concluded 'there was a time when, a few less trees and a far handsomer structure could not, of necessity, be detrimental to the leading thoroughfare of an increasingly popular seaside town'. THe final card - No 48 - shows the High Street from its junction with London Road and was posted in 1918 to Southsea. THe High Street, of course, has changed considerably from this view, not least because of the present lack of private homes and gardens on the right hand side of the street.

THese houses were replaced by a church, then a garage, before today’s modern constructions and trades. In 1912, the High Street contained such shops as F Hawkes & Son at No 9, where today we have Clock Walk, who advertised themselves as the ‘oldest local grocers, and tea merchants'. THey were also trading as ‘THe Bognor House, Estate and Apartments Agency'. At the other end of the High St, at Nos 61 to 65, Webster & Webb’s Library was selling books and also producing many of the guide books, postcards and photographs that today show us ‘Bygone Bognor'. From the 1912 guide book we also learn that the population in 1911 was 8,142 persons with 2,100 inhabited houses and that ‘Bognor was increasingly becoming more popular because of the soil, the climate, the temperature, the general immunity from fogs, the pure water supply and the accessibility of London'. With the aid of postcards and a guidebook of any point in time it is possible to try and imagine ‘what life was like then,’ without all the trappings of the 21st century. THese postcards certainly show us a much slower and unhurried world. THe people captured in these scenes could not have imagined the hustle and bustle of today’s world as they strolled leisurely around their town in the early 1900s. Postcards are less popular now because of the increase in the use of the internet and mobile phone, texting and the ability to send pictures. How sad it would be for future generations if they did not have the benefit of these ‘small pieces of cardboard delivered by the postman’ as the Victorians called them, from which to view our heritage.

Sportinbrief î ? Darts BRSA Ravens' Mary-Jane Todd ended Hayley Gatford's reign as the Bognor Friday Benevolent League Women's Knockout champion with a 3-1 victory at the Newtown Social Club. Twenty two players took part in the end-of-season event with Hunston Hares player Gatford, a seven-times winner of the event, the firm favourite. But Todd matched Gatford all the way, hitting her doubles at the right time to win the best of five leg final. It was the Hares player though who took charge early on, hitting a 140 before nailing double 1 to take the first leg. But Todd took the next three, nailing a chance at double 9 to take the leg, match and the Ladies knockout champion title. In the Over 60s knockout, Larry Chant (Aldwick Legion) proved too good for Rob Rice (Chi Snooker Club). THe two-times winner of the contest, who knocked out reigning champion Buster Barton (Claremont) en route to the crown, bounced back from losing the first leg to take the match 3-1 Double 10 was the winning dart, allowing Chant to lift the 'Roger Hackett' Over 60s knockout crown once again.

î ? Trampolining DRAGONFLYERS' Sofija Kalnicenko had a great start to the 2019 trampoline season as she took on England's best 15 to 16 years female competitors at the English qualifiers in Eastleigh. THe Bognor-based athlete nailed a remarkable score of 87.850 over two world age routines to take sixth place in the prestigious gold event. At just aged 14, Kalnicenko, pictured below, showed she can be more than a match for other more senior competitors in her first season at this age group. She will hope to top this in two weeks when she jumps at the FIG performance event in Telford before participating for the first time at Super League against male and female jumpers 15 and above. Having won League One females age 13 to 14 years in 2018, those at the club hope this will provide Sofija with an opportunity to display her new routines and vast array of somersaults. Fellow Dragonflyer Manon Bailey participated in her first English qualifiers at Silver 9 to 10 years - just one level below top finishing a proud 26th. Meanwhile, Daniel Boon will join the club's long list of regional representatives attending his first team training session on Easter Monday.

Friday, April 19, 2019

Blues strike late to snatch victory CHICHESTER RFC ended their season on a high after striking late to grab victory in their final league match of the campaign. After starting the season with just one win in eight Blues have found their feet in the second half of the season, producing some excellent performances to seal their London One South season for another year. Victory over Westcombe Park in their final league match of the season sealed a ninth placed finish in the 14-team division. But the 18-16 victory at Oaklands Park against a good Combe side under the direction of former Chi coach Rob Lawrence did not come easy. Blues had to wait until the final play of the match to take the win, as Ed Bowden jinked through the visitors' defence to touch down and give the home side the win. It was an exhilarating end to the season for Blues. With 11 wins from 26 matches and a number of young players given a taste of first team action, there were many positives to take. But some Chi fans could be forgiven for thinking with a more positive start to the year, a top half finish was well within their grasp.

Blues started the match against Combe slowly, as the visitors jumped out to a 3-8 lead at the break - a sole Henry Anscombe penalty being Chi's only score. Westcombe Park scored a second try after 10 minutes of the second period to extend this to 3-13. With momentum on their side, Chi had to work hard to stop the visitors from adding any further scores. With 12 minutes left though, Blues were handed a lifeline when Combe were reduced to 14 after a yellow card. THis seemed to galvanise the Chichester team and from the penalty Phil Veltom shrugged off the attention of three Park players to touch down in Vultures Corner. Five minutes later a Rhys THompson run created space for the pass to Sam Renwick who outstripped the Combe defence to level the scores at 13-13. With only three minutes left Chichester infringed within kicking range and Combe regained the lead. 13-16. But then Bowden produced a piece of magic to give Chi the win. It was also a fitting send off for Veltom who signed off from the first XV on a winning note.

f Pagham joint-manager Ritchie Hellen

Pagham boss Hellen departs PAGHAM chairman Tony Shea has paid tribute to joint-manager Richie Hellen who has stepped down with immediate effect due to increased work pressures. THe former Littlehampton Town man joined the Lions as Mark Bennett's assistant in January, 2016. When his good friend stepped down from the club at the end of the 2017 season, Hellen took over the managerial duties with the then under 23s coach, Tom Simmonds. Since then, the pair have performed well, leading the Lions to cup success and a third place finish in the SCFL Premier last term. But, after a strong start to this campaign, Pagham have fallen off the pace - slipping to 11th after a run of just one win in all competitions since Christmas. But despite the bad form, the Lions chairman insisted he would be standing by Hellen's joint manager, Simmonds. In a club statement, Shea said: "It is with great regret that Pagham FC announce that

Richie Hellen has resigned from his position as joint first team manager with immediate effect. "Due to increased work pressures, Richie feels he is unable to commit the time he wants to the team and has therefore decided to step away. "THe chairman would like to thank Richie on behalf of the club and the committee for all his hard work, efforts and success over the last four years and wish him well for the future. "Tom Simmonds will remain in his current position." A top half finish looks beyond Pagham, especially as they have lost their last six in a row. But with three matches to go Simmonds will be keen that his young side show some fight ahead of rebuilding for next season. A home match against East Preston tomorrow (3pm), a side three spots below them in the table, is a winnable match. THen it's a local derby against newly crowned champions Chichester City away on Easter Monday (11am).

DOZENS of Bognor Tone Zone runners went the extra mile last weekend as the team racked up a staggering 600 miles at events in all corners of the continent. Nearly 80 members took part in races as competitors took advantage of the excellent spring running conditions to try to beat their personal bests. THe big event of the weekend was the Brighton Marathon where a team of ten were led home by Christo Oosthuizen in a time of 3 hours 10 minutes (3:10). Gary Pidgeon who had been aiming to break 3 hours 30 minutes, did just that, with a personal best time of 3:27 while Juliet Stallard completed her first marathon in 3:36 with smiles and waves all the way round. Gary Smith (4:07), marathon novice Ben Leney (4:26), Alan Coombs (4:34), Helena Wilmers (4:38 - personal best) and Grace Natoli (4:38) all performed well. Gervais Ward finished just under the 5 hour mark with a time 4:56 while Simon Bodsworth (6:06) was extremely pleased to complete the 26 mile race after coming back from injury. Across the English Channel was another marathon, the Paris Marathon. Danny

Mahoney ran a very consistent and storming race, to gallop along the famous Avenue Foch in a fantastic personal best of 3:12. Peter Ramsdale was the other club member in Paris who also ran a good race to finish in 4:15. Back in Brighton was the Brighton 10k, where Julie Ede snuck in just under the hour mark in a time of 58 minutes. Tina Ede finished in 1:10 while Nic Baglee clocked 1:48. Elsewhere, in Hungary, Debs Pacey, Susi Briggs, Karen Blackman, Caroline Edwards, Jackie Williamson and Lisa Robinson all ran the Budapest Half Marathon together to finish in 2 hours 20 minutes. Another great international race for the group. At the famous Goodwood Motor Circuit Tone Zone were represented in the 10k, Half Marathon and Marathon distance. In the 10k Sean Power (41.40) performed well after returning from a broken foot. Daryl Fairbrother wasn’t far behind in a time of 43.35 while Catriona Power - who has been trying to break the hour - finished in 1 hour 29 seconds. Lucy Brand was just behind 1:01.

Blake hints at clear out to get Rocks on track

by s f Action from Rocks 1-1 draw against Harlow

NEXT GAME

ROCKS first team coach Robbie Blake has called on his squad to step up to the challenge - or risk being ditched for next season. A 1-1 draw against relegationthreatened Harlow Town appears to be the final straw for the former Burnley and Bradford striker who is disappointed at the inconsistency showed from the young squad in recent months. THat point - which was only won thanks to a late Jimmy Wild header - keeps Rocks in 11th, eight points behind the playoff spots with just three matches remaining. Two of those come in the next four days with a trip to champions Dorking Wanderers tomorrow (3pm) followed by a home match against Sussex rivals Whitehawk on Easter Monday (3pm). For Blake, though, thoughts are already turning to next season, as he hinted that a number of players in the current squad were in danger of being shipped out in the post-season. Speaking to Rocks Radio, Blake said: "I've never been in football and not celebrated a goal scored right at the end and that's because I'm that frustrated "I said to the players 'what's the point?' THere's not enough players out there who I trust. THere are too many players who

are not giving enough and that needs to be sorted out." A bigger question posed by Blake during an emotional postmatch interview is whether he himself will be on the sidelines at Nyewood Lane next season. He said: "I have been here a short time, I love the club and supporters have been great to me. My ambition eventually is I want to be a manager. "I love working with Jack and enjoying learning from him but when you are a coach or manager you have to trust players. "THere's too many who I do not trust and that has to be addressed with our recruitment." THe search for new players is already underway it seems, with manager Jack Pearce missing the Harlow match as he was scouting for new recruits. In the more immediate future, the management team will need to replace midfielder THeo Widdrington, who is out for the season with a wrist injury. First, though, are two big matches over the Easter period - with consistency key for Blake. He said: "You just don't know what you're going to get as sometimes we're really good away and then next match at home we are a shadow of the side."

Fond farewell for Chi legend CHICHESTER City Ladies gave long-serving stalwart Matt Wright the perfect send off - and now the team has been tasked with sealing a second-place finish. After 11 years at Oaklands Park - a number of which he served as manager, Wright has taken the difficult decision to step down from coaching duties. As a sign of thanks, Chi held a guard of honour for Wright ahead of their penultimate home game of the season against Watford last weekend. THe FA Women's National Southern Premier side then repaid him in full by defeating the former Women's Super League side 1-0 thanks to a Lauren Cheshire penalty which lifted them into second. Chi, who played Brighton & Hove Albion in the Sussex Challenge Cup final at Lancing last night, now have two matches remaining - with the target set by manager Aaron Smith very clear. He said: "We can still finish second in this league. For a team our size with our budget and where we are it is phenomenal. Every

player needs to keep going, we can win both of those two games so the intensity will not drop. I will not let it drop." In SCFL Premier champions Chichester City start a busy Easter period by heading to Arundel tomorrow (3pm) before hosting

NYECAMP NEWS by Liam Goodley

WE are fast approaching the end of the season now and although mathematically we can still make the play-offs, for me the overall focus will surely go towards next season. With all of the accumulated injuries over this season, it is clear that our home form, particularly, has suffered. THis was evident again this past week when strugglers Harlow Town visited Nyewood Lane. THe Essex side have been in dreadful form recently but, as a lot of sides have done this season, the form book went out the window when they came to our place. After falling behind, it looked as though our team wouldn’t respond. But on came Jimmy Wild to nod home from a leftsided corner to salvage a point. I can see at home we are getting hit on the break far too much and when we have had chances we have wasted them. It’s going to take some time before Nyewood Lane becomes a fortress again but I believe we can get a result against Whitehawk in our last home match this season, after we thrashed them 4-1 at the Enclosed Ground earlier on this year. On a positive note, the Rocks are through to the Sussex Senior Challenge Cup, a match which excitingly will be played at THe Amex, the home of Premier League Brighton & Hove Albion, on Tuesday, May 7, at 7.45pm. We take on Burgess Hill Town who have been struggling in the league but have done really well in the County Cup. It will be interesting to see how Bognor fare in this fixture as we have yet to win at the Seagulls' stadium since it opened in 2011. Hopefully, it will be third time lucky, breaking the bogey and winning the cup and scoring plenty of goals! We have yet to do so there up until now. I know that a lot of fans are looking forward to the match but there are still memories of the Sussex Senior Cup final of 2014 when some of the

stewards at the stadium were a bit heavy handed with Rocks fans. After that game, I know a number of supporters said they would never go to the ground ever again. Obviously it is up to individuals to make their own decision about whether they attend or not - but for me, a chance to cheer on the Rocks at such a great stadium should be something to relish and I hope we have a good following for the match in a couple of weeks under the lights. All the focus before then, though, must be on the league. We are away to Dorking Wanderers tomorrow who are justifiably the champions elect. Boasting a team including Jason Prior and Sami El-Abd, it is no surprise that they are doing so well at this level. Wanderers have been in fine form since Christmas really and continue to win games against sides from all parts of the standings. Like a lot of stories at this level though – how far can they go? And how long will it be until the money runs out? It will be interesting to see how well they will get on next season in the National League South. As we know from last season, it is a tough league to survive in - particularly if you cannot score goals. THey beat us only 1-0 at Nyewood Lane and it would be nice to make it a reverse tomorrow! We go into the match with some real positives, particularly the performances of young Ashton Leigh. THe return of Joe Tomlinson, who had to play for Brighton in that 5-1 win (I am sure he would play for us if he could) is also good. I hope we can bring some of that forward play to the Easter period. It was great to see us play with flair and without fear going forward. THere were some good goals built up by playing the Bognor way. See you tomorrow at Dorking. UP THE ROCKS!

The all-new Kia Proceed THE All-new Kia ProCeed merges stunning design with the space and versatility of a tourer in a five-door shooting brake body. Carrying the name over from the secondgeneration pro_cee'd three-door coupé, the Kia ProCeed has been designed, developed and engineered in Europe. A product of Kia's European design, product development and R&D teams in Frankfurt, Germany, the ProCeed is manufactured at the brand's Žilina production facility in Slovakia. THe ProCeed is available as a 'GT-Line', ‘GTLine S’ or high-performance ‘GT’ model and is available in a choice of seven paint finishes. THe Kia ProCeed 'GT-Line' has 17-inch alloy wheels, while ‘GT-Line S’ and ‘GT’ model feature 18-inch wheels as standard. Kia's 8.0-inch 'floating' touchscreen infotainment system sits at the centre of the dashboard, with audio and heating and ventilation controls situated below. THe dashboard itself is angled slightly towards the driver. THe Kia ProCeed's platform supports the car's efficient packaging, creating ample space for occupants in the front and rear. For rear passengers, the lower hip-point (compared to Ceed and Sportswagon models) offsets the effects of the ProCeed's lower roofline, creating head and leg room aplenty. THe ProCeed offers more luggage capacity than many conventional compact family

estate cars – and even many tourers from classes above. With a capacity of 594 litres (VDA), the ProCeed's boot is 50 per cent more capacious than that of the Ceed five-door hatchback. With no boot lip and a lower ride height than the Sportswagon, the low lift-over height of the Shooting Brake tailgate also makes it remarkably easy to load and unload. THe ProCeed 'GT-Line' is available with a choice of two engines. THe petrol option is the brand's all-new 'Kappa' 1.4-litre T-GDi power unit, which produces 138bhp. THe engine's turbocharger ensures its 242Nm torque output is available over a wide 1,500 to 3,200rpm band, making it responsive in a wide range of driving conditions. It is fitted with a gasoline particulate filter to reduce tailpipe emissions, ensuring the Kia ProCeed goes beyond the requirements of the Euro 6d TEMP emissions standards. Offered with a six-speed manual transmission as standard, there is the option of Kia's seven-speed auto Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT). THe ProCeed ‘GT-Line S’ is only available with the 1.4 T-GDi engine and is paired with the seven-speed auto Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT). Buyers can specify an efficient all-new 'Smartstream' 1.6-litre CRDi (CommonRail Direct injection) diesel engine. Kia's Smartstream powertrain philosophy seeks to enhance fuel efficiency and performance

with reduced emissions. THe 1.6-litre diesel engine in the ProCeed is the first Smartstream diesel engine from Kia. Marking the return of Kia's highperformance 'GT' model, the ProCeed ‘GT’ is powered by a 1.6-litre T-GDi engine, identical to that found in the Ceed ‘GT’. Producing 201bhp and 265Nm, it is the most powerful

engine in the line-up. THe ProCeed ‘GT’ sees the introduction of Kia's seven-speed auto Dual-Clutch Transmission for the first time, enabling quick-fire gear shifts via the metal alloy steering wheel paddles. You can see and test drive the All-New ProCeed at Newbarn Kia, 65 Aldwick Road, Bognor Regis PO21 2NW. Telephone 01243 841200.
