Following my email on 24/02/2014 I am writing with details of the National Park Local Plan Options Consultation Document and the Preliminary Draft Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Charging Schedule. These two consultation documents will be out for public comment from Friday 28th February till Wednesday 30th April (23:59 hours).
The documents can be viewed online at: www.consult.southdowns.gov.uk. The link will take you to a screen where you will see both the local plan and the community infrastructure levy consultation documents. The webpage is quite self explanatory but there are basically three ways to comment:
1. You can view and comment online using our online consultation software. PLEASE NOTE AN EMAIL WAS SENT TO ALL CLERKS ON FRIDAY 28TH FEBRUARY WITH LINKS TO THE ONLINE CONSULTATION SOFTWARE. THIS MAY APPEAR IN YOUR JUNK MAIL FILE, PLEASE CHECK, IF YOU HAVENT RECEIVED THIS LET ME KNOW AND I WILL ARRANGE FOR ANOTEHR EMAIL TO BE SENT. The link above will also take you to the same webpage where you can register by clicking register at the top of the page.
2. You can download and read the consultation documents (local plan options and preliminary charging schedule) and make comment using our electronic comment form and email that back to us; or
3. You can read the document and make your comments by writing to us in paper format
Once you click on either Local Plan Options Consultation or Community Infrastructure Levy you will be taken to the consultation page for that document, and will be presented with the three options above.
The SDNPA will also be running three Local Plan and CIL consultation workshops, where we will provide more background to this consultation programme and officers will also be available to answer any questions you have. At these workshops we will also be giving a simple presentation on how to use the online consultation software. There are still places left on all three workshops. You can book a place on one of the workshops below by contacting nicola.winning@southdowns.gov.uk Please book places before 5pm Friday 7th March. The final agenda for each workshop will be circulated later this week.

If you are able to publish this important consultation on your parish webpage I would be very grateful. I have attached a copy of the public consultation poster which should provide all the text you require and you can use the link in this email www.consult.southdowns.gov.uk so people can get straight to our webpage to make their comments.

Sussex Resilience Forum, Sussex Police, East and West Sussex Fire and Rescue services, South East Coast Ambulance, Local Authorities and other agencies are preparing an exercise to test the responding agencies to an incident in Sussex this year. This will be a large exercise and we require a number of volunteers to help the emergency services, local authorities and partner agencies prepare to respond to emergencies and major incidents through Sussex.
Date 14th May 2014
Times (tbc) 12pm – 6.30pm approx
Location – Burgess Hill
Requirements – We are looking for a variety of role players to take part in this live exercise. You will be given a specific role to play on the day and this may require you to simulate an injury, play a specific character or purely to be a person in the area that the exercise is in. You should be aware that during this exercise we will have casualties with simulated injuries and therefore you may be in close proximity to these and those who would be uncomfortable with this are asked not to apply. During the exercise there is a high likelihood of loud noises, disruption and a confusing scene to make this as realistic as possible again should you not feel comfortable at this time with this scenario then please do consider carefully if you wish to apply.
Previous Experience – We are looking for role players that have some acting ability or those who have taken part in similar exercises in the past and we do have a list of requirements we are looking to achieve for the exercise to be meaningful for the emergency services and others taking part, therefore we will look to match those that apply with these requirements.
Volunteering – You will be asked to make your own way and arrangements to attend a site in Burgess Hill and you will be provided transport to the exercise site following a safety briefing. Once at the site you will be managed and directed by a team of emergency service personnel to play in the scenario and at an appropriate time you will be taken back to the site in Burgess Hill and processed and allowed to leave. Light refreshments (tea/coffee etc) will be provided for you at the site in Burgess Hill, there will be no repayment of any expenses incurred to attend the site in Burgess Hill but parking will be made available for free. There are public busses the serve the site in Burgess Hill should you wish to travel by Public Transport.
Exercise details – More detailed information regarding the exercise will be provided to you along with the exact location to meet in Burgess Hill if you are successful.
To register your interest to support this exercise please complete the form here or for more information please contact Dave Nelson dave.nelson@westsussex.gov.uk or call 01243 777917

Just to remind you – Happy Hookers will be meeting again at the Royal Oak Poynings, this Thursday, 27th Feb from 8pm! Whether experienced or beginners, come along and join us for a relaxed, chatty, crafty evening. I will have some extra hooks and spare wool if you would like to give it a try.
If you have made/are making something, do please bring it to show off/work on, and if you feel crochet or knitting isn’t for you, bring along absolutely whatever you love to make! It is always lovely to see your creations, and to swap ideas.

THOUSANDS OF HOMES COULD BE ‘WIPED OUT’ BY NEW DEVELOPMENT
Feb 21
Please be advised that there is now a new website to help promote the benefits of better, faster broadband and therefore giving people information about what is happening and where.
A key feature is the interactive map which details activity by exchange area. As the network is being developed, we will update the map to show where work is being carried out and when new broadband services will become available. Initially the information that we can share on the map will be minimal but once we announce the roll out (before Easter) then it should become a useful visual tool for people to see progress in their area.
The website also has a short animation explaining the technology we will use as well as information about the benefits of better, faster broadband. Users can check the availability of broadband to their home or business and get in touch with suppliers to contract to buy services, in the usual way.
Please visit www.westsussex-betterconnected.org.uk for more information.
