Hurst Parish Council news - November 2024

Speed Indicator Display

The Parish Council owns and operates a Speed Indicator Display (SID) which is placed at different locations throughout the parish, and the data is collected for analysis. Between 26th April and 21st May 2024, the device was located on Cuckfield Road, Hurstpierpoint, recording 52,800 recorded vehicles, 3598 of which exceeding the speed limit, 332 of those by more than 10mph. One vehicle was recorded at 74MPH! Between 4th July and 1st August 2024, the SID was positioned on Reeds Lane in Sayers Common, where of the the 37,329 vehicles recorded, 6,490 were speeding, with 163 of those travelling more than 10mph over the limit.

According to www.think.gov.uk/themes/speed, speed contributes to around one in four fatal collisions on our roads and kills or injures 58 young people every week. We urge everyone to be mindful of their speed when travelling through our villages.

South Avenue Recreation Ground

The hammock in the play area has been repaired, and with the help of Section 106 money two new larger waste bins have been installed. We have also received confirmation of additional section 106 money and generous funding from the Hurst Society to plant the new avenue of lime trees.

Pete the Pond to give talk for Hurst ReThink

By the Hurst Rethink team

The inspirational wetland and wildlife landscaper Pete the Pond is to give a talk at the Scout Headquarters on October 2nd at 7.30pm. Pete the Pond will talk us through the why, what and how to have a wildlife-friendly pond in your garden, having worked tirelessly for over twenty years helping to sustain and restore many local aquatic ecosystems.

Of all the features you can add to your garden, a wildlife pond is the number one all-star addition. The water reflects light, plant fronds and clouds, and the life it attracts adds movement and year-round interest. Putting in a pond is a generous act as it’s such a valuable resource for all kinds of creatures. As chemically-supported farming around Hurst drives creatures out of the fields and into our garden world, having a pond is a powerfully eco-friendly gesture. Also, a pond for frogs and toads might just help your slug problem.

There are some clever moves to be had, and Hurst Rethink has joined forces with Pete the Pond for an evening of information designed to give you a head-start as a wildlife pond owner. In the interval, browse stalls promoting the cause of local mammals and birds, buy plants from Garden Sage and local honey, and enjoy tea, coffee, and Ukrainian homemade cakes sold to raise money for the Ukraine cause.

Tickets are £3 and available at hurstrethink.org

Hurst Village Cinema's October 2024 showings

By Mike Thatcher

Small changes afoot at Hurst Village Cinema. As I look further over my shoulder at my 50th birthday receding into the distance, I have decided to bring forward the start time of regular films to 7.30pm, so we can be tucked up by 10pm on a more regular basis! It will also give me more flexibility to programme the occasional very long film, such as the incomparable Magnolia, which in the past, I have baulked at.

We kick off the autumn season on Thursday 10 October at 7.30pm with Blackbird, Blackbird, Blueberry (15). In a small traditional Georgian village, Etero has chosen to remain unmarried, making her an easy subject of gossip in the village. Unexpectedly, she finds herself sexually involved with a delivery man and is suddenly faced with the decision of whether to go down the traditional or independent route in pursuit of happiness. Gentle, sardonic and simply presented.

Then, on Friday 25 October at 7.30pm, we screen Rose (12A). On a coach trip to Paris with her sister, Inger reveals her struggles with schizophrenia to the group, receiving both pity and discrimination. A comedy-drama that gives a much more realistic view of the subject matter of neurodivergence, as it is in part based on the director’s experience. It is also brilliantly cast; Sophie Gråbøl is mesmerising and her antagonist on the trip could not be more convincing and unlikeable.

Then, on Sunday 27 October at 3pm, we are very pleased to show Wilding (PG), followed by a Q&A with Laura Vaughan-Hirsch, from the White Stork Project. Based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book, Wilding tells the story of a young couple that bets on the future of their failing, 400-year-old estate at Knepp, daring to place its fate in the hands of nature. Ripping down the fences, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe. This is a charming, hopeful and necessary story of ecological regeneration.
We are delighted that Laura will join us to answer questions arising from the film. Please note that the ticket price is £6 with all proceeds going to White Stork.

Please be vigilant of fraudulent QR codes!

Fraudulent QR codes have recently been found on payment machines across council-owned car parks. These QR codes, which falsely claim to be for the PaybyPhone service, are designed to trick individuals into handing over their card details. It is important to note that Mid Sussex District Council does not use PaybyPhone for parking payments and uses MiPermit. We’ve also been made aware of a national scam where text messages are being sent with a parking fine and a link for payment. This is a scam. We don’t issue parking f ines via text message. Councillor Chris Hobbs, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Leisure and Customer Services said: “We are asking residents not to scan these QR codes for their own protection. Our enforcement officers, who play a crucial role in ensuring the security of our parking facilities, were the first to spot and highlight this issue. Their quick action has been essential in mitigating the risk posed by these fraudulent QR codes.” For more information or to report any concerns, please contact the council’s parking team at parkinginfo@midsussex. gov.uk or by calling 01444 458166.

Local Hurst parents join smartphone campaign

By Dan Sokell

A local Smartphone Free Childhood (SFC) community has formed, comprised of 300+ parents of children at St Lawrence and Downlands schools. In this nonjudgemental space, parents and carers can discuss the issues, share information and form strategies to delay and manage the use of smartphones by children.
To reduce peer pressure and reach a point where children using smartphones is no longer considered the ‘norm’, we need more parents to consider delaying the use of smartphones. SFC WhatsApp communities have been set up for both St Lawrence and Downlands schools and we have already engaged with the head teachers of both. Please use the QR codes to request access if you are interested in joining.

A representative of the group said: “The evidence is becoming clear – smartphones are damaging to our children’s wellbeing. Laws help to protect our children from things like alcohol and tobacco but regulation on smartphones is well behind the curve. SFC helps parents to understand the risks and take back control.” Anna, a local parent added: “We’re already in contact with headteachers at St Lawrence and Downlands, who have both been supportive. We are working with both schools to build and implement strategies that will help to denormalise the use of smartphones both in and out of school. We’re also liaising with the SFC parent groups of other schools which feed into Downlands, like Ditchling, Albourne and Windmills.”

When children first started getting smartphones a decade ago, there was no research about their impact. Now there is, and it’s overwhelming. Exposing children to things their brains aren’t yet developed enough to deal with can cause a host of problems including anxiety and cyberbullying, according to the latest research.

New Befriended choir and tea party in Hurst

By Gail Millar

Befriended have launched a choir and tea party in Hurstpierpoint, starting in September. Singing is proven to be good for you physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and cognitively. At our choir we have lots of fun singing together songs from the musicals, old time songs and well-known hymns. Our wonderful choirmaster, Ira, encourages everyone to sing with joy, gusto and enthusiasm. Our choir is inclusive and accessible to all.

As with all Befriended activities, we enjoy tea and cake whilst building friendships. The choir will take place on three Tuesday afternoons each month at the village centre 2-4pm starting on the 17th September. Come and let’s make music together.

Befriended, in partnership with Holy Trinity Church, are delighted to launch a new monthly tea party on the third Sunday of each month, 3-5pm at Court Bushes, Willow Way. The tea parties will include quizzes, useful information, birthday celebrations, a scrumptious afternoon tea, a variety of entertainment and most of all the opportunity to meet and make new friends. Our tea parties are renowned for being places of joy, happiness, fun, enjoyment and connection. Befriended is committed to ending loneliness and isolation amongst older people living in our community. We will do this through addressing the causes of loneliness and isolation, bringing people together, having fun and making meaningful friendships.

We launch our first tea party on 15th September. We look forward to seeing you there. If you want to know any more information email office@befriended or call 0300 7727703.

Update on proposed Traffic Regulation Orders

The Parish Council currently have 4 applications for Traffic Regulation Orders/Community Highway Schemes with WSCC. We have been advised that the request to limit Reeds Lane to 7.5 tonnes except for access, and junction protection for Willow Way, Talbot Mead and Chalkers Lane with the Cuckfield Road did not pass the threshold test for taking forward. The Parish Council intends to revisit both with WSCC. The applications for an extension to the current 20mph limit on the High Street, and harmonising speed limits on all the approaches to Hurstpierpoint College are still proceeding. Updates will follow when received.




Keeping hedges clear of footpaths – whose responsibility?

Click to enlarge

The Parish Council often receives reports of footpaths and pavements becoming difficult to access due to overhanging greenery, branches etc. It is the responsibility of the landowner to maintain their hedges, trees and shrubs so that they don’t cause an obstruction or a danger to pedestrians. Problems of this nature should be reported to West Sussex County Council as the Highways authority, either online via their website or by ringing 01243 642105. Prior to doing this however, if the landowner is a neighbour, then a polite and friendly request is probably the most appropriate initial action.

Albourne Village Show returns September 2024

Albourne Village Show

By Vic Craske

Albourne’s Village Show is back and confirmed for Saturday 7th September. This family-friendly event is bigger than ever with food, drink and entertainment for adults and kids, and a range of competitions to enter.

The show returns for its second year in its new form, and brings back a number of popular competitions. Last year’s popular dog show returns and new for this year is the flower show, with categories including best vase with a single flower, best jam, best cake and funniest vegetable. The new photography show invites entries of Albourne scenery, Albourne wildlife, Albourne pets and village life.

Also new for this year will be a bar from Hurstpierpoint’s The Hop Tub, a range of kids’ activities and more food options. VR Games for the kids will return, as well as the infamous raffle where you can win a (toy) tractor. Bands include Stone Dark Night, The Kites and The Stanmer Band, alongside an open mic slot. And if you want to sell something crafty, then get in touch to book a craft stall.

The show is now a Community Interest Company, which means that profits from the event will either be used to support the show in future years or will be given to local charities to support Albourne and the surrounding area. Local companies such as Sweeptech, Avtrade, Ernest Doe, Wild In Art, Make Real, Albourne CE School and Hurstpierpoint College are all supporting the event, with many others providing raffle prizes.

Albourne Village Show runs 12pm-10pm on Saturday 7th September at Albourne Recreational Ground. To find out more, visit: www.facebook.com/AlbourneShow

One of Hurst's own elected as MP

Hurst’s own Alison Bennett has been elected as Mid Sussex’s newest MP and becomes the first Liberal Democrat to represent Mid Sussex, following recent boundary changes. A delighted Alison said: “A special thank you to my family and thank you most of all to the wonderful people of Mid Sussex. This is a place that I am proud to call home, a place where people are made to feel welcome.”

Alison graduated from Cambridge in 1999 with a degree in Social and Political Sciences, then worked for British Airways and, later on, Donald Trump’s election in 2016 fuelled her desire to make a difference: “I was dismayed and felt helpless. I realised that while I couldn’t do anything about what happened on the other side of the Atlantic, I could have an impact in the village where my children were growing up.”

In 2019, Alison made history as the first non-Conservative district councillor for Hurstpierpoint in living memory. Despite the demands of local politics, Alison remains grounded in routine family life in Hurstpierpoint. “I experience the same issues as everybody else,” she admits. “I worry about the environment, get stuck in traffic. I walk my kids to St Lawrence, shop in Burgess Hill, and take my family to the Triangle leisure centre.”

For a year, she was a classroom assistant for Key Stage 1 at St Lawrence so will be known to many parents in the village. She is looking forward to the challenge ahead: “To be elected to represent you in Parliament is truly the honour of my life. I won’t let you down.”

273 Bus Improved Timetable

Click to enlarge

Following on from the request for better public transport from the villages made at the Annual Parish Meeting, we have heard much positive reaction from residents to the introduction of an improved 273 service to Brighton and Crawley, now including buses on Sundays and Bank Holidays. A single bus ticket to Brighton (or indeed to anywhere) is still only £2 – an absolute bargain we think! Especially as it means avoiding driving on the busy A23 and saving the cost of fuel and parking in the town at the same time! The new timetable is available here https://www.metrobus.co.uk/services/MB/273 we have asked Metrobus to supply some paper timetables, and these are available at the Parish Office. Real time bus information boards will shortly be installed at the Bus Stops at the Village Garden, War Memorial, and Willow Way. We have also requested the same for the 2 stops on the London Road in Sayers Common. Use it or lose it!

Hurst’s David Thompson wins BAFTA

David Thompson

David wins a BAFTA

Hurst’s David Thompson, who has lived in the village for nine years, has won a coveted BAFTA award for his editing on the documentary Ellie Simmonds: Finding my secret family. “I wasn’t expecting it at all, so it all felt surreal to actually win it; we were all in a bit of a daze going up on the stage.” In fact, he almost deleted the email telling him he had been nominated, thinking it was spam, until he saw he had a missed call from the director.

At first the project was very secretive, because only a few people knew Ellie Simmonds was adopted. When he was finally told what the documentary was going to be about, he knew it had the potential to be powerful. “It seemed likely that Ellie would discover she’d been put up for adoption because of her dwarfism: something that was viewed as a disability but has been central to her success as a Paralympic athlete. That felt like an emotional story to explore.”

His favourite part of the documentary was when Ellie phones up the children of the foster mother who cared for her for a few months when she was just a baby. The foster mother had recently died but her daughter said that when the mother had seen Ellie in the Olympics in 2012, she recognised her as the baby she’d taken in, and wanted to get in touch but didn’t want to intrude. “That is the first time in the film where Ellie really cries. She is not just crying about missing the chance to connect with her foster mother; there are a lot of other emotions going on underneath and this is the first time she lets them out, so that was very moving.”

David, who on most Saturdays can be found running the line for the Hurst Colts U13s, has been interested in editing since he was a teenager, when using two VHS players joined by a SCART cable, pressing play on one and recording on the other. “At university I learnt to edit with celluloid film - slicing it with razor blades and taping it back together. Then one of my flatmates got a Mac with actual editing software and I borrowed it to learn and cut films for local charities.” A chance followed to help cut a documentary that was running behind schedule, with only a week before it was due to broadcast. With another editor, he worked almost every hour, day and night, for four days. “We got it done, it got decent viewing figures, so suddenly I was a freelance documentary editor.”

The ceremony itself was hugely exciting, but also bittersweet. “The television industry is in the midst of a crisis, and the mood reflected that. There’s a perfect storm of falling advertising revenue, license fee freezes and cuts to streamer budgets, and what it means is that programmes aren’t being made. Reports say 68% of the freelance workforce are unemployed.”
