FIRST AIDER URGENT CALL FOR A LOCALLY AVAILABLE DEFIBRILLATOR TO SAVE LIVES! Following her recent attendance at a First Aid refresher course, Penny Croucher, Rogate School’s registered First Aider, was prompted to ask why Rogate Village itself has no defibrillator currently available to aid Heart Attack Victims? Having heard about the recent heart attack tragedy within the village despite many peoples sterling efforts and following her attendance at a St John Ambulance first aider refresher course, Penny learned how a simple to use, fully portable piece of equipment called an AED or Automated External Defibrillator costing under a £1,000 could help dramatically improve the survival rate in Heart Attack Victims. Penny said that here in rural areas like Rogate, no matter how fast the Ambulance Service responded, seconds count in saving lives. Asking her St Johns tutor the other day what could be done to help in these situations, she was amazed to discover the simplicity of using these new handheld machines and that with a minimum amount of training we could set up a fast response “LOCAL” team here in the Rogate Parish that could greatly aid in saving lives…...

IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE WOODS TODAY! BE CAREFUL JUST WHAT YOU GET UP TO! FOR YOU NEVER KNOW WHOSE WATCHING! In this modern world we live in, its amazing what with a little bit of electronics now-how you find out about your fellow man. JUST CLICK HERE TO SEE A VERY INTERESTING VIDEO You may recall Gillie and her family purchased the woodland near Dangstein House. Her families intentions she made quite clear at the time to all local residents, that was to manage the woodland properly, to also provide an area for local people to enjoy and a separate area for her family and friends to use for their own personal enjoyment. Now we should all say a big thank you for such a generous offer, but not all of us is would appear. Some people think they have a right to do what ever they see fit on other people’s land! We wonder how these same people would feel if we all pitched up and ran amuck in their back garden? But this is just a bit of woodland you might say, but my own and I hope most descent local peoples point is that this is PRIVATE WOODLAND that we are being allowed to benefit from and as such we should respect the kind owners personal wishes. SO PLEASE CLICK HERE AND LET US KNOW JUST WHO THIS CHAP IS, THEN WE CAN ASK HIM WHY HE SHOULD SEE FIT TO INTERFERE WITH SOMETHING THAT’S NOT HIS TO TOUCH! LATEST NEWS & UPDATE;- “Dear Ian, I just thought I must write to let you know how things have been going since we last communicated. I have always been reporting bad stuff to you & felt it was important that you had some good feedback for a change! I am very happy to say that since the erection of our "No Public Right of Way" signs, the publication of the video of the unpleasant "gentleman" smashing our jumps, & since we put up the Public Notice informing folk of our plans, we have had no further incidents which is wonderful. The Public Notice was removed but hopefully that was the last of it. We have met lots of people in the woods who have been really pleasant and their dogs and children love jumping over the jumps. The people who think we have some sort of underhand secret agenda, have still never had the guts to approach me personally which is disappointing, but as far as we are concerned all that we wanted has been achieved, i.e. no more tampering with our jumps! PHEW at last! Thanks so much for your help in all this you have been fantastically supportive for which we are very grateful. Regards Gillie”. |

Chichester District Council Board Recommends Changes to Rural Car Parks in Midhurst etc. Recommendations to introduce changes to the way in which Chichester District Council’s rural car parks are managed were put forward today (Tuesday 1 December) by the Council’s Executive Board. The Executive Board voted to tailor the car parking proposals to match the needs of each individual town. This took into account feedback from both residents and businesses. Any changes to the car parks would not be implemented for a year and a half, by which time most commentators believe the economy will have recovered. The Board also wanted to introduce Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE) before any changes were introduced. The Executive Board’s recommendations will now be put forward to the Full Council, which will make a final decision on…….To read the Executive Board’s final recommendations, please go to; RPC Parish Clerk Info-Page |

Have you got a valid will? If so, you’re in the minority. Every day, over 1,500 people die in the UK, and more than 70% of them die without a legally valid will – a truly shocking statistic, which can lead to conflict amongst the remaining family. Now one of the country’s leading businessmen, Sir Gerry Robinson, wants to help change that. Assisted by expert legal advisors, he will help people to write their wills for a major new BBC2 series….……. To read the full story PLEASE go to NOTICE BOARD II IN THIS WEBSITE |

NEW A3 TUNNEL at HINDHEAD REALLY MOVING ON AT A CRACKING PACE! The massive roadwork's running from Thursley to Liphook is continuing at relentless speed judging by these recent photographs & the structural work on the southbound tunnel including the portal "cut and cover" sections is complete and the bottom of the tunnel has been filled ready for the new road surface. Structural work on the northbound tunnel is well underway with the tunnel sidewalls substantially complete and the crown (roof) over half complete. Both tunnel service buildings are being fitted out and backfill around the secondary (southern) tunnel services building is completed to roof level. Earthwork operations have been suspended for the winter & the temporary supports to enable Miss James Bridge to be constructed are complete and the pre-cast concrete support legs have been delivered to site. Both carriageways south of Hazel Grove are complete as far as High Pitfold and the southbound carriageway to the end of the scheme. Pavement for the southbound carriageway north of the tunnel between Hindhead Hill Underpass and the tunnel services building. |

Some photos of the Lupin Field this summer sent in by local resident Dr Mairi Rennie The National Trust, Mind ( a charity from Midhurst), and people from Terwick and Rogate cleared patches of the lupin field in the spring, although there is a long way to go to restore the whole lupin field, the lupins bloomed again. Quite apart from the choking grasses, the rabbits ate the seedlings left by Terwick Church & the deer nibbled some of the flowers, so the battle is on. There will be a planting out day some time in the autumn, possibly after a section of the field by the footpath has been ploughed up. There has been a great deal of effort to re-establish the Lupins in Terwick Church Field. It is a difficult job, as the plants are strangled by the grasses. The Mind Group from Midhurst and Fiona Scully from the National Trust have supervised a programme of weeding, and re-planting small zones |

A BIG THANK-YOU! We would like to publicly thank William Davey for both guiding the emergency ambulance along near impassable lanes to our home and later towing it out of a snowdrift last week when David suffered a stroke. With the lane closed, telephone lines down for some days, and only emergency calls out allowed on mobiles, it might have taken the paramedics some time to find us in the dark. William’s help ensured the patient reached the necessary hospital assistance in good time. Our thanks should also be given to Rachel Helmore for sorting out a reluctant BT office staff on our behalf so that communication could be maintained with the hospital and Gary Mitchell, the intrepid BT engineer who fixed the problem. Also for the kind offers of help from neighbours who also had enough snow to deal with. Thank you all – you were amazing! David & Karen Coke. (Vicarage Farm) Editors Note:- Following the above incident and the grateful help they received, David & Karen have sent us the following email; Hello Ian, Following my telephone call this morning this to confirm that I am happy to top up the Defibrillator Fund from its present figure to the £970 figure you need. It’s a worthy cause indeed and I’m happy to be of help. Karen Coke, Vicarage Farm. A Fantastic & a very generous offer I think all will agree. We now have the money and we are looking into funding for the initial training although we must reiterate, no special training is required as the machines are basically idiot/panic proof but we do feel if we start with some trained personnel it will encourage others. Following the decision by East Lodge, to decline our request to station the small carry-case defibrillator unit in their entranceway {concerns about disturbing the residents} good old Ann Arnold from the village shop came up with a possible solution and we are currently investigating her kind offer. We will be updating all our readers & sponsors ASAP. |

Youth Club Update for 2010; The Club re-opened for business - well, let's just say fun - on Thursday 14th, a longish break for Christmas, but just as well to avoid the freeze-up and the snow which some of our members helped to clear up round the Church and the Hall car-park, hard work, but good training in the absence of football practice. More than twenty members turned up last Thursday, one or two new faces very welcome, and guess what? Our old friend Jonny Welch off the Purple Bus was there to enjoy some fun with us all. We plan to have the Club open, 7pm sharp, not before, every Thursday till Easter except for half-term week, and on occasional Fridays, dates to be advised, for the older members. All the best, Roger. |

Durford Bridge repairs going well despite the poor weather The works to reconstruct the wall up to carriageway level have been completed. The stone mason is starting on site on Monday and is expected to complete the works in two weeks. Once this is complete the carriageway will be resurfaced, railing erected and site dismantled. It is hoped that the works will be complete by mid February. Unfortunately about a week was lost with that snow. |

Chichester District Council Press Media Release. Date: 04 February 2010. Ref: 2581 GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCE CHANGES TO BUS PASS SCHEME Recent Government changes to the state pension age will have a direct impact on local residents’ eligibility for free bus passes. From 6 April 2010, the government is gradually changing the eligibility to apply for a free English National Bus Pass. This is in line with their changes to the state pension age for women, increasing from 60 to 65. The rise will be staged over the next ten years. Eligibility for bus passes will rise by two months each month. This means that residents who turn 60 on or after 6 April 2010, will no longer be eligible for the scheme on their 60th birthday. Details on when they will now qualify are shown in a table in the attached word document. Councillor Melva Bateman, Portfolio Holder for Housing and Community Development at Chichester District Council, says: “The government have decided that this would be the fairest method, rather than introduce a one-off rise which would leave those currently close to retirement age facing a full five-year delay.” “However, the changes will have an impact on those residents in the district who are approaching their sixtieth birthday and were expecting to qualify for a bus pass. Current holders over 60 years old, and other qualifying residents, will not be affected by these changes. Current pass holders will be eligible for a renewal pass when their pass expires.” A calculator of eligibility for pension and bus passes for all birthdates is available on the DirectGov website http://pensions.direct.gov.uk/en/state-pension-age-calculator/home.asp However, the Department for Transport advise that when using this calculator for assessing bus pass eligibility alone, that all residents chose the option ‘female’. This is because technical differences in the state pension provision for males are not fully reflected in bus pass eligibility. Press Release Ends.. For further information, please contact Alan Jenkins, Public Relations Assistant, on 01243 534679. |
