Real Christmas tree recycling points now open

 

Mid Sussex District Council has set up Christmas tree recycling points at convenient locations across the district to help residents dispose of their real Chistmas trees when the festive fun is over.

The Council has arranged for 24 temporary Christmas tree drop-off points in towns and villages across the district, so there will be a place nearby where residents can recycle their real Christmas tree. All people have to do is take along their tree to the most convenient local site, place it in the marked area and it will be taken away to be recycled locally.

Residents with a green garden waste wheelie bin can put their tree directly into it, as long as the lid can still close firmly. Alternatively, people can take their real tree along to one of the Household Waste Recycling Sites at Fairbridge Way in Burgess Hill or Imberhorne Lane in East Grinstead.
Sites will be open between 28 December 2019 and 10 January 2020 at the following locations.

Poynings Footpaths

If anyone is aware of any problems on any Rights of Way in Poynings, can you let me know by the end of this month. The rights of way ranger is going to carry out inspections next month.

If you would like to find the number for a path, please use the iMap: www.westsussex.gov.uk/imapI would suggest you read ‘How to use the iMap’ before using it as, unfortunately, it is not that intuitive.


 

Village County Line

We are really worried about this issue in the County, the latest group now being groomed are middle class rural children as they are seemed to be naïve to the issue along with their parents! Be aware…

No gritting for us this winter…

The invisible Gritter

In case residents are not aware, West Sussex County Council has decided to stop gritting the Poynings/Edburton Road from now on.

So it’s important that we all take extra care driving when temperatures are around freezing, as they are at the moment.

This decision, driven by a desire to cut costs, has been taken without consultation with the Parish Council. While we are working hard to get this decision reversed, this looks increasingly unlikely.

What would really help would be for individuals to email our local (West Sussex) councillor Joy Dennis – link here. Also, in the unlikely event that a parliamentary candidate appears on your doorstep – this would be a good topic to raise.
Candidate contact details here.

Household Rubbish

Changes to Household Waste Recycling Sites

From 1 December 2019 only West Sussex residents will be able to use our 11 Household Waste Recycling Sites (HWRSs).

This new system is expected to save local taxpayers £250,000 per year.

Surveys have shown that an average of one in ten people using HWRSs closest to the county borders live outside of West Sussex.

It’s thought the high number of people travelling across county boundaries is down to tougher restrictions imposed by neighbouring authorities.

In order to show they live in the county residents will have to show some ID to enter the sites, for example:

  • Current driving licence (photo card or paper licence)
  • Council tax or utility bill – less than a year old
  • Utility bill – i.e. electric, gas etc.

For more information, visit: www.westsussex.gov.uk/HWRS.
