Southern Water's contractors moved in this morning to commence the installation of an enlarged sewer running from The Square, down Water Lane, to the bottom of Weavers Hill. The work is scheduled to take until December 2025 and various roads will be closed during the work.
...
There will be a rolling road closure in place so work can be done in stages to minimise inconvenience to the local community. Depending on where on the road work is being carried out, you may not be able to park on the road outside your property. The schedule of works (subject to change) is as follows:
| PHASE | DURATION
(Weeks) |
START | FINISH |
| Phase 1a - Arundel Road to Church Road | 5 | Mon 19 May 2025 | Fri 20 June 2025 |
| Phase 1b - Church Road to High Street | 3 | Mon 23 June 2025 | Wed 09 July 2025 |
| Phase 2 - High Street to Cumberland Crescent entrance (along Water Lane) | 8 | Thu 10 July 2025 | Mon 01 Sept 2025 |
| Phase 3 - Cumberland Crescent entrance (along Water Lane) to Weavers Hill | 16 | Tue 02 Sept 2025 | Fri 19 Dec 2025 |
Shops and businesses in the village will be open as usual although some parking bays outside the parade of shops in The Square may be restricted during the first phase of the works.
Today (Tuesday), quite a few people coming down Arundel Road to The Square were disregarding the 'road closed' signs and were ignoring the No Entry signs near Meat in The Square. I nearly saw an accident this afternoon when a black van shot through the No Entry sign at speed and was very close to a head on collision with a car turning from Station Road into Arundel Road by The Green.
These works are going to affect village shops significantly over the next 7 months - PLEASE TRY AND SUPPORT THEM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. They may not survive without your custom.

With the 80th anniversary of VE-Day falling on a non-Bank Holiday weekday, celebrations in Angmering yesterday (Thursday 8 May) were somewhat muted with the exception of the new Ayton House Care Home in Dappers Lane who put on a memorable event. Staff at the home went out of their way to ensure that their residents, their families, and villagers shared the occasion, which may possibly be one of the last of its kind. Some 60 people attended the extended lunch in the garden, including representatives from Angmering Parish Council and St Margaret's Church. The weather was kind with sunshine for much of the time. A number of villagers accepted the open invitation to attend, and the event exceeded all their expectations.
Nearly 30 staff helped make this an unforgettable event, with the home's chef producing a superb buffet of sandwiches, scones, cakes, and sweet and savory tarts. Entertainment was provided by the professional ballroom dancers, Emma and Rares, from "R Dance4Show" and modern and 40's music by John Beaver added to the fun and the atmosphere. Garden games were also provided for those who were interested. £242 was raised for the Royal British Legion from the raffle and the sale of Jennie’s hand knitted poppies.
Ayton House manager, Joel Ignacio, gave an address outling the context of VE-Day and the role of veterans from the conflict. After, he called for people to stand for a 2-minute silence for reflection. The poignant poem for the Fallen by Laurence Binyon was then read:
They shall grow not old, as we that
are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At
the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember
them.
