Back in July 2018, St Margaret's Church was given permission by Arun District Council to fell 45 western red cedar trees which were situated in the churchyard lining Black Ditch. A resident of The Thatchway had challenged the planned removal of the trees and had hoped that, as nothing had been done for 2 years, the Church may have abandoned the trees' removal. However, in the last few weeks, felling has been in progress.
The Church explained they were doing the work now because August was the only month when the close-by Village Hall was not in use and when it is not nesting season, and last August negotiations with Angmering Parish Council and planners were still underway. The felling will conclude by the end of the month and a fence will be erected two metres from the adjacent stream (Black Ditch). A hedgerow will be planted in the autumn to act as a barrier between the churchyard and the stream and encourage wildlife to return.
Overgrown trees & shrubs - The Representatives from AIB raised the subject of overgrown trees, shrubs, hedges and verges around the village and asked if there was a program of works to make sure these areas were properly maintained. The Clerk explained what was already in place including the regular daily rounds that APCs grounds man undertakes and that he will bring anything that needs attention to the APC office. Particular mention was given to the trees in Bramley Green and the program already in place to look after them.
Dog waste bin at Lloyd-Goring Close - there would be no cost to APC i.e. the bin, its installation and the emptying of it will be paid for by ADC. After discussion it was agreed by all that this bin should be installed.
Allotments - community plot - Cllr. Reigate confirmed that APC could have a Community Plot but were presently number six on the waiting list. Nothing can be confirmed but hopefully we should hear something around November time when the plots come up for renewal.
Tree Planting - A259 Cycle Path - The Committee Clerk advised the committee that it would still be possible to plant trees in this area at a cost of £150.00 each, however a decision is needed soon as the trees should be planted in the winter months. It is thought that between eight to nine trees would be needed for this area. A possible adopt a tree scheme through WSCC was brought up, at a cost of £150 per tree. The Clerk commented that more information needed to be sought and would report back once APC had more information regarding the options open to them.
Blenheim Play Park re-design - The Clerk confirmed that the PO had now been sent over to the supplier which in turn would start the project. APC will work closely with the supplier to bring the project in on time and take advice on the best way to celebrate the opening and keep the residents informed re the works needed.
Mayflower Park - The Clerk commented that it had been identified that an extra litter bin would be of benefit in this area. After checking with ADC they have agreed to supply and fit one free of charge. The bin will be emptied by the APC grounds man during his usual rounds. In general littering seems to be getting better in this area but the APC office and grounds man will keep a close eye on this. The Clerk confirmed that no more reports on antisocial have been received from the PSCO and that she continues to patrol the area.

Angmering Parish Council is to be given £55,443 to renovate Cow Lane – the ancient footpath which was once the main road from the eastern villages into Angmering. The sunken lane, which runs west parallel to the A280 (Angmering bypass), is prone to surface water flooding in heavy rain. The money, from West Sussex County Council's Operation Watershed Active Communities Fund, will fund drainage works that are part of a larger scheme to improve the footpath, which includes resurfacing the lane.
