Sussex Snippets A new Parish Council grouping has launched to provide a strong and unified representation for this area in discussions with Gatwick, NATS, the CAA, the Department for Transport, airport and airlines over aircraft noise issues. APCAG (Association of Parish Councils Aviation Group) has been endorsed by six founder member parishes, representing over 10,000 residents: Pulborough, Wisborough Green, Kirdford, Loxwood, Plaistow and Ifold and it is planned for more to join; and as an organization comprising democratically elected bodies, APCAG’s feels that its voice is more likely to be heard than the voice of a protest group. Contact: peter@drummond.co.uk ‘This is my Theatre’ invites you to celebrate Shakespeare's 400th anniversary with their telling of his famous love story Romeo and Juliet brought to life in Brighton’s oldest building, St Peter’s Church on the edge of Preston Park; and in the rural Tortington Church on the outskirts of Arundel. A proportion of money raised through ticket sales will be donated to the Churches Conservation Trust, which funds vital restoration work at these ancient sites, helping keep these beautiful buildings open. www.sarahslator.com

SUSSEX LOCAL West Sussex County Council is considering making changes to Household Waste Recycling Sites – and is holding a public consultation to find out what people think – you can take part in the consultation online until Sunday 12th June. The County Council has reviewed its Household Waste Recycling Sites because of a need to make £18.6m in savings across all council services next year. www.haveyoursay.westsussex.gov.uk/waste management-services/hwrs Sullivan’s Heroes is a new charity, which has been set up to help fund home adaptations for disabled children; the idea for the charity was born during the process of Fiona and Richard Smith adapting their own property for their disabled son, Sullivan. As well as fundraising to provide grants for families towards their child’s home adaptations, where the costs exceed that of a council grant awarded – a situation which happens all too often; the charity also provides a website platform where families can set up their own fundraising towards the building costs. www.sullivansheroes.org Teenagers who need help with mood swings, body image and anxiety can now look to their local West Sussex library for support. Shelf Help is a new collection of books that have been reviewed and selected by clinicians and young people to help with a wide-range of mental health issues, the collection tackles top tackles topics from life pressures and depression to self-harm and exams, and includes books such as ‘Stuff that Sucks’ and ‘Mind Your Head.’ www.westsussex.gov.uk/libraries.

Visiting Littlehampton for a family day on the beach has turned into an expensive exercise and that’s before you’ve bought the ice creams. Your editors went with friends from out of the area over the May Bank holiday, and were astounded to find, on parking up, that the charge for East Beach car park was £7 for any stay over two hours. To add insult to injury, the machine doesn’t take cards! We later found out there is an “app” you can download to pay, not that this was apparent from any signs, and just what you want to be messing about with when you have several small children wanting to get on the beach on a boiling hot day.

Littlehampton won’t be getting our business in future, when Worthing charges £1 an hour to park, and Goring Gap is free. Feedback? info@sussexlocal.net

Short Walks in West Chiltington?

A reader has contacted Sussex Local, to ask if any of our readers are aware of any short walks (between fifteen and thirty minutes duration), in the West Chiltington area? The walks are for someone who is a little unsteady on her feet, and so would need to be on firm ground (concrete preferably) and away from roads. Please send any ideas to info@sussexlocal.net and we will publish them.

New Roof, Big Debt A ten week programme of work has started on Pulborough Church’s water damaged roof.

Many local people have raised money to get the work started and more is planned, but there is still a long way to go to raise the £100,000 or so that will be required to complete all the repairs and damage restoration. Amongst the younger fund raisers was Oliver, aged 9 (pictured), a pupil at St Mary’s Pulborough, who, along with four friends, held a cake stall which raised £115. Whilst amongst the older members of the community, Bill Bewley has been tracking down grants and submitting applications on behalf of the church, so far raising

£26,000 from a number of sources. Another community member is raising money by selling an evening canal trip on the Wey and Arun on 1st July (tickets from Len and Pauline Adsett 01798874243). Churchwarden Graham Allfrey is selling sponsorship of individual Horsham Slab roofing tiles (01798-873143). Generous donations from the community at large have raised £3,400. Donations can be made to treasurer, Brian Hunter, 6 Chestnut Walk, Pulborough RH20 2BS, or Father Paul Welch, the Rector of Pulborough Church, 01798-875773.

New Venture for Pulborough URC After meetings with the West Sussex Alzheimers Society to explore ways in which the church might be able to help the growing number of people in the community affected by this and similar illnesses., Pulborough United Reform Church has launched the “Tea Spot Caring Café,” which will run on the first Thursday of each month from 10am-12noon. The plan is to offer a welcoming, dementia friendly place – a safe environment for carers and those they care for, and for anyone who would like some company and a chat. The café is not just for dementia sufferers but for anyone who cares for a loved one, who feels cut off or lonely. Over a cup of tea, they can find a friendly and sympathetic ear. The organisers may be able to assist with transport to the café, if this is a problem. Contact: Keith Russell on 01798 873174.

Food Sharing A real world response to a first world problem Globally more than a third of all food produced goes uneaten, and households are responsible for half of all of the UK’s food waste – binning over £12billion of edible food each year, at a staggering cost of £700 to the average family. A horrifying statistic when you consider that a third of the UK’s families live below the poverty line. However, no matter how hard you may try not to overbuy, the supermarkets tempt us with clever offers – buy three for two, buy one get one free – that make buying more food than you need almost a default position.

Tessa and Saasha - (c) Annabel Staff

However, there is now an alternative to the rubbish bin for those finding themselves with a surplus of perfectly edible foodstuffs. OLIO is a free app designed to connect neighbours with each other and with local independent shops and cafes so that surplus food can be shared rather than thrown away.

This could include food nearing its sell-by date from shops, cafes and markets; spare vegetables from the allotment; cakes from an amateur baker; or groceries from household fridges when people go away or move home. As long as it’s edible, it can be shared on OLIO.

OLIO is the brainchild of close friends Saasha Celestial-One and Tessa Cook, both of whom grew up in rural families and had instilled into them a strong aversion to waste of any kind. What Saasha describes as ‘the light bulb moment for Olio,” came some years later: ”Tessa was moving country and found herself with good food that she just couldn’t bring herself to throw away. After failing to find anyone to give it to, she ended up having to smuggle it back into the UK, and thought there had to be a better solution! And so OLIO was born.” Launched in London in December 2015, the app has been following a roll out strategy across cities in the UK, Saasha describes the app as “Our response to the massive and unsustainable problem of food waste,” going on to explain that, “Ultimately, we're all about trying to create a scalable platform that others can take and use in their local communities to stop good food from being thrown away.”

And the process does seem very straightforward.

Once the app has been downloaded to a mobile phone – OLIO is currently supported by the iPhone

through the door

29

30 Living iPad, iPad Mini and is optimised for the iPhone 5 and higher – then the user can add items to OLIO or browse the listings and request an item. Some people will only add items, and others will only request items, whilst many will do both. How the items are collected depends entirely upon personal choice, if individuals donating items would rather not have the food collected from their own home then they have a range of options – a public meeting place, or dropping off the item at the home of the person who requested it, or by delivering/collecting from an OLIO drop-off point or Drop-Box. OLIO’s website, which is easy to use and has a friendly, vibrant feel, offers plenty of information on how to get started and also provides a useful list of guidelines for those using the service.

Launched in Brighton in March this year, there are already nine drop-boxes in Brighton and Hove, in independent shops and cafes, with the organisers already looking for more businesses to host dropboxes across Sussex. Saasha stresses that even though there may not currently be a drop-box in your community at present then as long as you are able to download the free app, then anyone can use OLIO, anywhere in the county. Although, she explains: “Of course the experience is better the more people in your area that are using it, so it’s a good idea to encourage your neighbours and local shops to get on board, too.” One of OLIO’s Ambassador’s is Claire

SUSSEX LOCAL

Tymoshyshyn, manager of Brighton’s Angel Food Bakery and Kitchen, who explained: “I love that instead of throwing away fresh food that I wouldn’t be able to use or give to a food bank, I can simply take a photo and offer it to the whole community with a click of a button. OLIO has also enabled my bakery to raise money for a local charity by asking for a small donation when we share leftover cakes.”

Although users can choose to charge for their items, nearly all of the food posted on the app is free – OLIO’s guidelines state that if someone does choose to charge for their items then that charge should be at least 50 percent off the original price paid. For those concerned about food safety, Saasha explains

32 Living that, “OLIO is fully compliant with all UK food law.

This is a very important area for us and so there are a couple of things that our users need to be aware of.

First 'use by' dates refer to the safety of the product, and retailers cannot sell or give away any food after this date. However, there is no such legislation governing what individuals can or cannot do with food past its use by date, yet we very rarely see items past their use by dates on OLIO.” In fact, the first guideline listed on OLIO’s website is “Good enough for you,” namely that users should only add food that they themselves would be willing to eat.

Saasha also explains another term often seen on food labeling: “The other thing to consider is the 'best before' date. This refers to the date at which the item is optimal for freshness and taste, although most items can be eaten deliciously for weeks, months and even years after this date. We see lots of items past their best before date on OLIO, and they are generally requested very quickly. We also have the ability for our users to report any item to us should there be any concerns; however we've not yet had any item legitimately reported to us for health and safety reasons.

Finally, we do ask that all our users describe how the food has been stored and packaged when posting food on the app, and that the person picking up the food ask any questions needed to satisfy themselves

about the conditions in which the food has been kept.”

The website also refers users to a number of useful links to safety and hygiene standards set out by The Food Standards Agency’s website, and reminds users that there are controlled substances that cannot be sold on OLIO, such as tobacco and alcohol. However, if someone holds a license to sell alcohol then they can sell alcohol on OLIO, so long as it is discounted by at least 50 percent. Individuals without a license can only add alcohol that is available for free.

OLIO’s journey to date has been relatively short but already demand has taken the app UK-wide and Olio’s founders have had people from other countries respond to their idea, and they plan soon to take their model into other markets.

However there are wonderful designs and planting combinations you can do in shady areas. After all shade is a natural part of the landscape and plants and wildlife have adapted to these areas. Indeed some plants can’t thrive without dappled or deep shade.

might want to enliven the area with bright flowers or even a bright metallic sculpture.

Japanese Anemone

Rather than fret about the darkness you can embrace it and go for a woodland theme, choosing traditional English or European woodland plants. With a nice thick bark mulch over the soil amongst your new plants you can create a space that could have been there for decades full of mystery that invites you towards it. You can even create a path of bark that runs through the planting.

You can make the shady part of your garden a place of lush coolness and simple life where your eyes, tired from looking at screens, mobiles and lists of things to do, can relax and dream of the forests.

Bright Spots Because darkness absorbs the light the shady borders, especially if there are trees above, often appear deeper and further away which can enhance a garden’s size. But if that is not a consideration you Dicentra

Japanese anemonies are brilliant for creating sparks of light in the gloom and they also tolerate dry soil. If your soil is moist you can go for the delicate heart shaped flowers of Dicentra or Astillbe or the proud early and late season red and pinks of Cyclamen which can be planted between the roots of craggy old trees.

If you wish the area to have a civilised, classical look you could purchase some great Cretian terracotta urns that will catch any light going which will contrast with the deeper darkness behind. They will also tie in the area to any hard materials in the rest of the garden like paths, patios and the house itself.

Planting Up

Astrantia

For perennial planting there are the bullet proof choices of Alchamilla Mollis, Astrantia with their papery flowers, Epimedium (Bishop’s Hat), Hellebours and the purple flowering Geranium phaeum.

As well as checking out the moisture content of the soil make sure you check out the soil acidity. If you are lucky enough to have acid soil you can try Rhododendrons and Azaleas.

Bulbs are great in shady areas and often thrive as they can come and go before the deciduous trees have come into leaf. As well as obvious contenders like Narsissi and Blue Bells you could try the weird dutch hats of Erythronium as well as Chionodoxa and Scilla.

For ground cover try Euphorbia amygdaloides (if you have a larger space and don’t mind them spreading about), plus Persicaria superb (flowers forever it seems), the achingly delicate Corydalis plus Ajuga and Violas.

With a little research (garden centres will often have a shady plant section) and good plant combinations you can turn this often neglected area into one of the main features of your garden.

Places to visit in June If you haven’t been to Great Dixter gardens then you are in for a beautiful surprise. It is a garden that regularly comes up as garden design professionals favourite garden and for years has been a horticulturalist’s Mecca.

Surrounding a 15 Century House these gardens were developed by Christopher Lloyd, gardener and garden writer, over a 40 year period and are now in the hands of the Great Dixter Charity Trust.

Situated in Northian, near Rye, they re open from 115pm and as well as having a varying degree of day and week long courses on plants and design, have Behind the Scenes days and Meadow Gardening educational days. From 2-5pm each day the medieval part of the house is open to the public. www.greatdixter.co.uk

Gardening Tasks for June 

A quick hoe each week of all your beds will save HOURS of knee crunching effort having to pull them out by hand – get yourself a lightweight ‘swoe’ (right) and you will be a contended gardener  Pinch out the little side growing tips of your tomatoes so that they grow nice and tall and their energy remains focused into producing fruit rather than leggy stems  Also keep sowing lettuces and radishes every two weeks for a continuous supply throughout the summer



Water any plants you put in this year



Deadhead the old sweet pea flowers to encourage the plant to keep flowering



Prune shrubs that flowered in the spring so that the new growth of this year, which they will flower on next year, is contained.



Lastly if you mow your lawn every week rather than every fortnight you will have a summer of pleasure looking out at your neat green space rather than living with a shaggy lawn for half the time. See it as free gym membership.

Do you know your margins?

“If you know your margins you can increase your profits” says Sarah from Monks Chartered Accountants, Storrington Understanding you gross and net profit margin is important when running a business as you can then consider ways in which to improve them. Gross margin is what is left after subtracting the cost of goods sold from sales. So if you have sales of £125,000 and the cost of the goods sold is £75,000 your gross profit is £50,000 and the gross profit margin is 40% (profit divided by sales). It is from the gross profit that all remaining overheads are paid (rent, salaries, insurance, taxes, etc). What’s left over after all overheads are paid is net profit. In the example above if you have overheads of £20,000, then you would be left with a net profit of £30,000 which is a net profit margin of 24% (net profit divided by sales) It is important to look at both margins and the “spread” between them as changes in pricing, business practices, repairs, etc. will impact one or both. Reviewing the margins made on individual jobs will help indicate the contribution made to the overall business position (some you may find are loss making and not worth actually doing!)

Once you know your margins you can then look at ways to improve them. For instance can you get a better deal or buy in bulk from suppliers? Can you

raise your sales prices? Both will increase your gross profit margin. Can reduce your insurance costs or phone costs which would increase your net profit margin? Having an up to date and robust book keeping and accounting system in place can enable you to review these margins periodically and with ease.

46 Parish Council News

SUSSEX LOCAL

Pulborough Parish Council Chairman’s Report by Ray Quested Since my last Chairman’s Report, little of visual significance has taken place within the parish, although I hope and anticipate that that will not be the case for the forthcoming year. Many projects which we had hoped would have materialised by now will come to fruition in the next few months.

Approval has been given by the Council and Agreements signed with Horsham District Council to employ 2 Neighbourhood wardens. The Contract will be for a period of 2 years at least after which we will conduct a review of the undertaking. The recent Police review, which will not support Police Community Support Officers to the extent to which we have been accustomed, has prompted this action, as has the need to ensure a uniformed presence within the parish. These officers should be visible on the streets within the next 6 months at least.

The proposed Trim Trail has still not been finalized.

Recent legislation and preferred options have necessitated us returning to the suppliers to make changes with the equipment to ensure maximum compliance.

Nevertheless, we have approved the concept and selected the site and hopefully construction will soon take place.

We have undertaken a further review of the refurbishment of the sports pavilion, have appointed “fresh eyes” to look at the project and will look once again at presenting a plan to you.

10 weeks on from the end of the Statutory Consultation Period, the Neighbourhood Plan is still with the District Council who have not been able to provide clarification as to whether our Plan can go forward to an Inspector and subsequently to a referendum.

We have at last been able to display hanging flower baskets in Lower Street once again and that will visible again this coming year.

Swan Corner roundabout area is due for safety improvements in November this year; the road surface which was part of the process has had to be brought forward and I’m glad to say shows marked improvement.

Regeneration of Lower Street, again to improve safety, is also scheduled by WSCC to take place but a date has yet to be finalized.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my staff and fellow councillors for their help and support over the past year especially my parish clerk,

Sarah Norman, who, after 7 years, is leaving us to take up a new position as Assistant Town Clerk to Bognor Regis Town Council. I am sure you will all join with me in thanking her for all she has done and to wish her well in her new position.

48 Parish Council News

West Chiltington Parish Council We are very fortunate in West Chiltington to have many public footpaths so we can all enjoy our beautiful countryside. Summer is on its way along with the growth of grass, wildflowers and weeds. Most of our footpaths are well kept and easy to follow - there are times however when they become uncomfortably overgrown and difficult to pass through. The responsibility to keep a footpath at least 1 metre clear lies with the owner of the land through which the footpath crosses. All landowners should be well aware of this but it’s not always easy to keep ahead of nature, so the Parish Council can liaise with landowners when residents inform us of any particular difficulties. As a council we cannot ‘patrol’ all the footpaths so we all need to help each other. Your parish council contact for footpaths is Fran Davis on 01798 812619 or francesmarydavis@gmail.com As users of the Public Rights of Way we all have responsibilities too. The Countryside Code can be found on the Department of the Environment website and includes some basic guidance.

low paths unless wider access is available Protect the natural environment: • leave no trace of your visit and take your litter home • keep dogs under effective control Enjoy the outdoors: • plan ahead and be prepared - follow advice and local signs A farmer will normally close gates to keep animals in, but may sometimes leave them open so the animals can reach food and water. Leave gates as you find them or follow instructions on signs. When in a group, make sure the last person knows how to leave the gates. Leave machinery and farm animals alone – don’t interfere with animals even if you think they’re in distress. Try to alert the farmer instead. Use gates, stiles or gaps in field boundaries if you can – climbing over walls, hedges and fences can damage them and increase the risk of animals escaping.

Respect other people: • consider the local community and other people enjoying the outdoors • leave gates and property as you find them and fol-

YOUR PERSONAL TRAVEL EXPERT

What an amazing city! We went for a three night mini break to this fabulous place, declared 'the best city EVER!' by my six and four year old children. We flew on Virgin Atlantic - great service and an excellent choice of films.

We stayed at The Court - St Giles hotel in Midtown.

A fabulous location and we even had a view of the Empire State building from our room. A plus side to jet-lag was that we managed to wake up to some spectacular sunrises behind the Empire State building and also have an early start on all the sights!

4:30am has never been so pleasant!

New York is ideal for a city break – it’s fast paced but strangely relaxing at the same time, fun but the perfect mix of parks, food, sights and fabulousness.
