News from Bramber Parish Council

Bollards down:
The bollards in The Street have been knocked down on three occasions, once by a passing bus and then by two different cars.  BPC have managed to get the bollards mended and repositioned. However, in order to prevent more bollard damage, we have relocated the rubbish bin outside the Maharajah Indian restaurant and moved it closer to the vulnerable bollard. We hope that by making the street furniture more prominent, we can prevent further accidents from happening.

Speed watch on Clays Hill:
You may have seen councillors in florescent, yellow jackets collecting data on Clays Hill. The aim is to encourage drivers to drive more carefully up and down Clays Hill. It is a residential area and residents need to feel safe when walking down the pavement to their homes.

Rubbish collection in Castle Lane:
Castle Lane (the section that runs beside Clays Field) became overgrown and residents received a letter from WSCC to say that the bin lorries could no longer get down the lane. They asked residents to wheel their bins up to Goring Road. This was not viable since rubbish bins are heavy and pushing them uphill would have been quite a work out! BPC were able to get the foliage cut on either side of the lane and bin lorries can now access the lane.

Christmas Carols:
The Salvation Army delighted us all with their rendition of Christmas carols round the Christmas Tree. It really was a community event… Bramber Parish Council paid for the tree, the Bramber society decorated the tree, the Salvation Army played their instruments and Bramber parishioners sang. Thank you to everyone who attended and to all those who helped make it such a memorable event.

Engaging with our parishioners:
Bramber Parish Council meet once a month throughout the year and members of the public are welcome to attend the meeting and can speak, if they so wish, for a maximum of three minutes about an item on the agenda. Please do come along and get involved…. we would love to see you.
