The annual Village Hall Christmas Market has for many years been one of the principal events at this seasonal time and attended by villagers of all ages. This year, the Market will be held at the Village Hall this coming Saturday - the 1st December - between 10am and 12 noon.
The will be numerous stalls and attractions including a tombola, silent auction, cakes, raffle, craft stalls, good-as-new toys, seasonal gifts, refreshments. The Silent Auction has always been of particular interest but this year it is likely to be even more so because of the quality and diversity of items available for bidding. These include: an Audi R8 Remote Control car, a Cardinal 73RM Match Fishing Reel, Three Free Sessions for Primary School age children with Charlotte Reader Street Dance, a month's free membership at Lanes Health Club, and a game of bowling for two people at Out of Bounds as well as many other items.
Honey Lane
Several members of the
public spoke on behalf of the residents from Honey Lane. A report was given on
the state of the road, pot holes being of great concern and the lane braking up
due to bad weather; the risk of flooding was also commented on. A lengthy
discussion then took place and questions were asked re the possibility of
funding to put the situation right and what the next steps are. The Chairman
advised that Angmering Parish Council (APC) were waiting for specialist reports
on the value of the allotments to come back and until these reports were
received APC could not comment. APC would hope that they can report back at the
next Parish Council meeting to be help on 10 December.
Committee Clerk
Claire Fullman
has tendered her resignation. Her last working day will be 30 November 2018.
The Clerk advised that a report will be presented at the next Governance
meeting on 15 November 2018 regarding the plan to replace this role. The
Chairman wanted it minuted that the Council would like to thank Claire for her
commitment and service over the past 7 years and gave special recognition for
her work on the Black Ditch and the many community events over the years.
New Councillor
The Chairman
welcomed co-option candidate Alan Evans to the meeting. The Chairman asked Mr
Evans to explain why he wanted to become a councillor, which he did and he also
confirmed that he is a local resident. He welcomed a chance to participate in
local affairs with an aim to improve the village. Mr Evans commented that if
co-opted he would like to discuss how the agenda is run and it was discussed
that informal meetings could be reinstated. 4 On a proposal by Councillor
Harris, seconded by Councillor Marsh: That Alan Evans be co-opted as a Parish
Councillor – unanimously AGREED.
Additional camera for Community
Centre
The Clerk made reference to supporting papers that had
been circulated containing the quote for the additional camera. The Chairman
questioned if we have a liability to undertake this work. Cllr. N
Hamilton-Street raised the point that we have had a lot of requests over the
past few months and asked if we should be looking at a refurbishment plan
rather than on an ad hoc basis. A discussion then took place and it was agreed
by all that a review should take place on all potential work that may be
required over the next 3 years. It was agreed by all that a letter should be
written to Angmering Community Centre asking for an overview of all potential
works/refurbishment plan needed over the next 3 years.
Bramley Green "dragon's
teeth"
The Clerk made reference to the three quotes that had been
supplied in the supporting documents. A discussion then followed and it was
agreed by all councillors present that we should look at long terms options,
possibly 20 to 30 years and review costs to replace all Dragons Teeth at once.
