Planting Trees

Now is the time for you or your children to gather native tree seeds.
You can create a small tree nursery in your garden with a view to planting in the wild later.
Avoid sycamore which grows like a weed! Oak, beech and lime are best.
There is no point in planting ash keys with ‘ash die back’ in the area but your tree could replace a fallen ash in a few years time.
Walnut and Horse Chestnut are not native but are good for gardens.

Poynings Roundabout Bus Stop

Do you use the Poynings bus stop?

Do you walk across the fields to get there?

If so, can you help?

It has been suggested that it might be a good idea to have lockable lockers in the bus stop to store things like walking boots/wellington boots. Which can be left there instead of carrying them to wherever you are going.

The question is, if they were supplied, would you use them?

Could you let me know by replying to this email.

Many thanks.

Two 1 year old cats available for adoption, both sweet and affectionate

Kaspar

Kaspar is a clever, energetic, hilarious and affectionate boy who is basically a loveable rascal! He is 1 year old and a handsome black and white kitty. He has been a delight to foster and is very entertaining to have around (there’s never a dull moment) but needs to spread his wings now. Because he is bold and playful he would be perfect as a family cat and would love to have children to play with and get lots of attention from. He is a rufty tufty boy and very curious but has never been nasty and he is very cuddly and purry. If he’s not playing he will be straight on your lap and mewing for cuddles in the cutest way. Kaspar would need access to a reasonably large outdoor space as he loves to explore, but not near busy roads. He would enjoy the company of another cat but they would need to be young and up for playing all day!

Jasmine

Jasmine is a very pretty and cute 1 year old female who has gorgeous calico markings. She likes to play and observe nature and gets very excited about insects or the laser pointer. Your home will be fly free when she’s about! She was very nervous on arrival after a scary journey but after a couple of weeks she settled down, now two months later she is confident and brave. Jasmine likes strokes and affection and is generally lovely to have around being well mannered; not stealing food or damaging property. We think she would soon turn into a lap cat once settled in her new home. Apart from a couple of session of the ‘zoomies’ per day she is pretty chilled out.
Jasmine would be happy in a forever home with school age children, or a couple or single person. She doesn’t always like her siblings so I’m not sure if she would get on with another cat, she might best getting all the attention herself! She would love to have access to outdoor space, but not near busy roads. 


Kaspar and Jasmine are in foster with us after being abandoned. They are both vaccinated, microchipped and neutered.

If you are interested in Kaspar or Jasmine please email Ruth at chalmersruth@hotmail.com

Mid Sussex District Council is urging residents that have not already responded to the 2019 electoral canvass to do so as a priority.

 

By law, every resident in Mid Sussex must register, whether or not they intend to vote at future elections. So far over 72% of households have responded, a tremendous return, but it’s vital that the other 28% respond now. Final reminders have been sent to the remaining properties and doorstep canvassers are preparing to make personal visits if a response has not been received.

It is a legal requirement that every household either confirms or updates the details for their home and doing so could not be easier, with the option to respond online, over the phone and even by SMS text message. To date 65% of responses have come through digital channels.

Tom Clark, Electoral Registration Officer for Mid Sussex said:

“We want to help the residents of Mid Sussex to have their say, maintain their credit rating and ensure they do not miss out on the opportunity to vote.
Registering to vote only takes a few minutes but really is important. Elections can be held at short notice”.

 

For more information about registering to vote or elections contact the Mid Sussex District Council Electoral Services team by emailing elections@midsussex.gov.uk or calling 01444 477003.
