Campaigners WIN two new rights of way...
A number local people, have Won a four year campaign to have two Rights of Way established
at Ardingly Reservoir.
These Applications started in January 2004 when various fences and gates were installed by
the landowner at Ardingly Reservoir, some crossing footpaths. The disputed paths run from
existing rights of way, leading from College Road, past the College Farmhouse to the Reservoir,
via the Shellbrook Treatment works up to the Boathouse, south the Rivers Wood and the
Balcombe Viaduct.
This application for the three paths to be established as Rights of Way was disputed by two
parties, which lead to it being discussed in February 2006 by West Sussex County Council’s
Right of Ways Committee, at County Hall. Timothy Forbes spoke at the meeting as the
Applicant, which lead the committiee to a unanimous decision in favour that a map modification
order should be made for these paths.
One path leading from the Shellbrook Treatment Works, to Rivers Wood and Balcombe Viaduct,
was then further disputed by the two parties. This lead to a two day local Public Enquiry in
January 2008, to which the two landowners, who objected to the 200 metres under dispute, sent
two teams of London Barristers After two days of both sides cross questioning the Government
Inspector has just ruled narrowly in favour of the landowners,
despite an additional 100 metres of the path owned by Ardingly
College being uncontested.
This now closes the path from Shellbook to Rivers Wood, which
was the only southern footpath from Ardingly Reservoir, without
climbing a steep hill via the Boathouse to Rivers Wood.

Inside Story - ‘Our Farm’
Its Sunday 9th March, 4am, and I’m drinking a cup of tea whilst
waiting for one of our Sussex cows to calve. I’ve had two hours
sleep so far tonight having delivered a couple of sets of lambs
earlier. Why am I doing this?
Our aim is to create a shop on the farm where you can come to
do your whole weekly food shop, get in touch with seasonal
cycles and understand the importance of low impact local production. We use a local abattoir to
reduce any stress on the animals and minimise food miles.
Our traditional breed, free range pork (with perfect crackling every time), lamb, beef & chicken
have the most amazing flavour and succulence. Fresh home
grown and locally sourced seasonal vegetables and fruit have
the freshness and taste as if you’d grown them yourself but
without all the hard work. Cakes, pies & ready meals made on
site using our own produce and specially selected ingredients
and so much more from the farm along with a few special locally
sourced treats such as Black Pig Orchard Apple Juice produced
within two miles of the farm, completely additive free and
exclusive to The Old Dairy.
Well it’s now 5.30am. We have another beautiful addition to the farm, all
the animals are checked and I’m washed and ready to go back to bed, well
for an hour, after all it is Sunday and I think I deserve a bit of a lie in before
starting all over again.

The Old Dairy Farm & Shop is a family run farm
situated just off the A275 between Sheffield Park
and Danehill, East Sussex.
We believe in producing naturally fresh, additive free,
wholesome food at a very competitive price.
Slowly grown, traditional and local breeds, bred
and reared with care in the heart of beautiful Sussex.

Everyone agrees they have clearly grown too large and the pavements and High street are
clearly being affected but the significant root structure. Now it has been decided the trees will
have to go something needs to be done.
Brian Budd, the newly appointed Tree Preservation Officer, forwarded a very interesting
proposal at a meeting last week, he explained
there are a new range of citrus tree called
‘Xessus’ which have been developed for the
Northern European market and survive a
cooler winter.
In general, the government are initially looking at villages in the South of England to trial this, as
the weather is slight warmer here and with the onset of global warming could provide a very
practical solution. The range of trees known as ‘Xessus’ are not restricted, there are Lime
trees, Lemon trees, Clementine’s, Satsuma’s, Tangerine, Mandarin, Kumquats and Grapefruit
trees.
The fruits generally appear in late summer and would greatly enhance the look of the high street
but are inedible. The fruit will drop and attract a range of insects and flies when rotting.

Fantastic Fingerprints in Silver – The Ultimate Personalised Gift
Over the past couple of months I have tried to explain the versatility of Precious Metal Clay for
jewellery making but one of the most exciting ways of using PMC is to capture fingerprints in sil-
ver. The process is very simple. The clay is rolled out to the right thickness to accommodate the
depression of the fingerprint.
Then the child’s finger is gently pressed into the clay. The clay is cut to
the desired shape and then dried before firing. Once fired it can be fin-
ished in a number of way, it can either be brushed and left with a satin
finish which is very subtle, polished to a high shine or antiqued and then
polished. The antique effect is the most popular because is makes the
lines of the fingerprint more pronounced.
So rather than fight a losing battle with nature, work with it. There is a plant for every problem
area, which will thrive in its rightful place.

Peter’s job will be to set up the office and programme systems, recruit and train local Sudanese
staff and then hand over the project to them. Heather will help with administration, flight
following and hospitality. “I have felt for a long time, that while there are needs in this country,
there are fewer people able to go overseas. We have the experience and are able to go and
therefore we ought to do that,” said Peter.
He and Heather served with MAF for six years in the 1990s, living in Tanzania with their three
children, Phil, Tessa and Rob. Heather said: “We believe we have been put here for a purpose
and we are following the Lord’s will for our lives.”
The charity has had a small base in Juba, Southern Sudan since April 2006, but this is now
growing rapidly as more and more agencies use Juba as their base of operations. As operations
increase, so will the number of MAF aircraft based in Juba itself.
While there are still pockets of civil unrest, the country has been relatively stable since the
signing of the Peace Accord in 2005. The crucial transport links will enable other development
and aid agencies to operate in remote areas, providing medical care, food, clean water and
Christian hope. The Candys, who will be supported by All Saints Church as Mission Partners,
are well known faces in the village.
Peter, who has worked as group claims manager for Virgin Atlantic for the
past nine years, has played his bagpipes at local functions. Heather has
been a volunteer and chairman of Tiger Cubs, the pre-school
playgroup that meets in the Tiger. She was also a pastoral visitor at
Summerlands in Summerhill Lane.

Lindfield Horticultural Society’s talk on 12th March was given by Arthur Hoare, who has wide
interests and expertise in the world of nature. Entitled ‘The Silent Invasion’ Mr Hoare’s outstand-
ing slides showed the wide variety of common plants and animals who are not native to the
British Isles. Many were brought over by the Normans following 1066 – such as rabbits for fur
and food and wallflowers seeded into stone for buildings. Others, like some varieties of deer
and one of the gardener’s favourites (!), the grey squirrel, were brought in by the Duke of
Bedford to populate his estate. He discussed the well-known ‘invaders’ such as Japanese
knotweed, with its 15ft roots, rhododendrons and giant hogweed and also showed how many
plants we think of as garden flowers become naturalised in the wild. It is estimated that for every
ten alien plants which arrive here, one will become established. For every ten which establish
themselves, one will become a problem.
April’s talk is more ‘general interest’ than horticultural. Entitled ‘Riding it Out – A bike ride around
the world’, it will be given by Pam Goodall. Approaching her sixtieth birthday, Pam set off from
Horsham alone on a bicycle to cycle around the world. Carrying a tent, she pedalled ten thou-
sand miles through Europe, Asia and America, riding through twenty countries in all. Her expe-
riences encompassed extremes of exhilaration, exhaustion, joy, fear, freedom and reward but
above all she says she met extraordinary kindness and generosity from strangers.
The talk will take place at 8pm on Wednesday 9th April in the King Edward Hall. Entry fee
is 50p for members and £1 for visitors.

"LINDFIELD PARISH MEETING"
TUESDAY 15 APRIL 2008
8.00 p.m. in the Jubilee Room at the King Edward Hall, Lindfield
The Parish Meeting has to take place once a year between 1 March and 1 June and is a forum

So why not come along, air your views and enjoy a free glass of wine !
Mid Sussex District Council has been carrying out an appraisal of the West Hoathly
Conservation Area this Autumn/Winter. We are now holding an exhibition to illustrate the
findings of this work and to seek the views of local residents on our proposals for enhancing
the area and on suggested boundary changes. A questionnaire will be available at the meeting
and exhibition for residents to complete. The responses to the questionnaire will be taken into
account, where appropriate, when the West Hoathly Conservation Area Appraisal is revised.
It is intended to launch the exhibition at the Parish Assembly meeting at West Hoathly Village
Hall at 8pm on Monday 21 April.
A short presentation will be given on the findings of the appraisal and Council Officers will be
available to answer any questions and to listen to comments.
The exhibition will remain in the West Hoathly Village Hall for two weeks from 21 April until 5
May. It can be viewed during normal Parish Council opening hours on Mondays, Tuesdays and
Fridays from 9am until 12pm and on the evening of Monday 28 April between 6pm and 8pm.
A Council Officer will present at the evening session. The exhibition panels can also be viewed
on the Council’s website from 21 April at www.midsussex.gov.uk/planningpolicy and follow the
links to conservation areas.
Once adopted, the Appraisal will inform planning practice and policies for the area. It will also
provide the local community with a clear idea on what it is about the conservation area that
should be cared for and preserved and what enhancements should be made.

For specialist advice and legal services in the areas of
• A property and affairs LPA, which allows your attorney authority to deal with your prop-
erty and finances, as you specify.
• A welfare LPA, which allows your attorney to make welfare and health care decisions
on your behalf, only when you lack mental capacity to do so yourself. This could also extend, if
you wish, to giving or refusing consent to the continuation of life sustaining treatment.
Your Attorney
As with any power of attorney, it is an important document and you should take care whom you
appoint as they should be trustworthy and have appropriate skills to make the proposed
decisions. If you appoint more than one attorney, you can appoint them to always act together
(jointly) or together or separately (jointly and severally).
cont./.......
The attorney will only be able to act when the LPA has been signed by you and your attorney,
certified by a person that you understand the nature and scope of the LPA and have not been
unduly pressured into making the power. The certificate will also need to confirm there has not
been any fraud or another reason why you cannot make the power. It must then be registered
with the Office of the Public Guardian before it can be used. The financial LPA can be used both
when you have capacity to act, as well as if you lack mental capacity to make a financial
decision. The welfare power can only be used if you lack mental capacity to make a welfare or
medical decision.
Any enduring power, validly made before 1 October 2007 will continue to be able to be used but
only in respect of your property and affairs. If you wish to give authority over your health or wel-
fare you will need to make a welfare LPA.
What happens if you have not made a Lasting Power of Attorney or Enduring Power of
Attorney?
If you lack capacity to make a financial decision, then it may be necessary for an application to
be made to the Court of Protection for an appropriate order, such as appointing another person
to make decisions on your behalf. This is both costly and time consuming.
Most care and treatment decisions can be made on your behalf without the need for a court
application. However, if you wish to avoid potential disputes, you can give a person(s) authority
to make those decisions on your behalf by making a welfare LPA.
Registration of the Lasting Power of Attorney with the Office of the Public Guardian
Once the LPA has been signed by yourself and your Attorneys the document will now need to
registered with the Office of the Public Guardian. This will involve an application form to be
completed and a fee paid of £150.
As soon as the LPA has been returned to us there are two options either the document can then
start to be used by your Attorneys or it can be stored in our safe until a later date.
What to do?
For further advice please telephone 01444 482851
and ask to speak to a member of our private client team.
