PARISH COUNCIL REPORT
Plans are under way to establish a Youth Forum in the village. This is aimed at opening a line of communication with those members of our community that feel they have no say in discussions that affect the village. The forum will have a formal slot at full Parish Council meetings, so their views can be taken on board, and issues can be addressed. It is expected that in September we shall be able to review the progress on this project.
WSCC has been doing traffic surveys along Tangmere Road with the objective of determining whether a Pelican crossing should be provided at Jerrard Road, to provide a safe crossing for the many school children using that point. Some form of traffic control is needed there, as the speed of vehicles coming into the village from the A27 is dangerous for that corner. Tangmere School supports our efforts to make a safe crossing point there.
At the last parish Council meeting, we co-opted 2 new members, bringing our numbers up to 9. We still have 1 vacancy, so if you are interested in joining us, please let us know.
By the time this newsletter is delivered, CDC will have published their plans for housing development in the District. I suspect that it will make headlines in the local newspaper, but for Tangmere it may represent a much more important challenge. The public consultation on the plans for our area will take place at the Weald and Downlands museum, on 20th July at 7.30pm. Very few members of the public will take the opportunity to attend that meeting, so the Parish Council will be arranging a public meeting in Tangmere for you to hear for yourselves. The consultation period on the report takes place over the summer holiday, not normally the best time to allow people to get involved!
The next Parish Council meeting takes place on the 8th July at the Village Centre at 7.30pm. All are welcome to attend.
