No gritting for us this winter…
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.

New Year’s Resolutions for Fulking, Edburton and Poynings on Climate Change
Join an inter-village consultation on what we can each do individually and together locally to make a practical difference towards reducing our impact on the environment. Any ideas?
We’ll watch a couple of short David Attenborough videos together on Climate Change, to get the ball rolling. We’ll then open the floor to consultation on what we can do, on the basis of which we will make new resolutions for 2020 and beyond. Bring pencil and paper and practical ideas.
It’ll be pot-luck snacks.
7pm, Fulking Village Hall, Saturday 11 January.
Any ideas or questions please contact: Samantha_habitat@yahoo.com

Helpful neighbours
Some Fulking and Poynings folk have been talking about setting up an informal network, through which villagers from both villages could offer and receive help. The kinds of things we have thought about are: dog walking, lifts to the GP, grass cutting, shopping, loan of tools or resources, simple computer help, sitting with someone so a carer can get a break. Or you might be that you would like someone to check in on you, if there is a an emergency, such as a power cut.
If you have some time and feel you could offer some help. Please contact Chris on gilder6646@aol.com, or 07891062956, describing possible assistance you could offer . That would be great.
If, on the other hand you can think of some help you need, or know of others who might, please contact me on the above email or telephone number.
We think and hope that creating this network would strengthen community ties improve quality of life for everyone involved. Volunteers would enjoy helping out and being helpful, and people receivi. Of course there is no reason you could not be both a helper and someone who receives help!
Anyway, if you are interested, get in touch and we can have a chat. We can then move forward on this idea. We can’t do it without you!
