Welcome to this week’s blog - as always, thanks for having a read.
Just after our last blog went out on the 21st November, Donna was, briefly, on the Late News of BBC South Today. She was at West Sussex County Council’s Health and Social Care Committee all that day. In the morning they considered an appeal against the closure of the last Council care home which has very few residents left, but some of them are over 90 and have dementia. The closure went through on the Chair’s casting vote because the Reform Member of the Committee abstained.
This weekend the lights go on in several places locally, including Selsey (in both the High Street and East Beach Parade on Saturday, November 29th.) Mick, Val, Donna, Ali and I are helping the Friends of East Beach with their event. Chichester District Council’s Festive markets return to North Street and East Street in Chichester city centre on the 6th, 7th, 13th, and 14th December, with the Saturday markets running from 9am until 5pm, and the Sunday markets running from 10am until 4pm.
Over the festive season you might end up eating out. Donna and I are meeting up with ‘the paramedic daughter’ and her paramedic partner on Sunday, the day after the Friends of East Beach event. I always thank waiting staff and, generally, thank others as a matter of course. I had never given this any thought until I came across this article which suggests some personality traits, people who do this, might share with each other: if you know either Donna or I well enough, see which ones you think we might have in common with you: -

This week, Donna and I met a local business owner on Monday before I dropped her off for a meeting of the Chichester Harbour Conservancy Board at County Hall, and came back to catch-up with officers in Selsey Town Hall. On Tuesday she was back there for a case meeting then for the third day running on Wednesday, for the Children and Young People Services Scrutiny Committee. In the evening Mindy, Ali, Mick, Ian, Andrew, Donna and I had Full Selsey Town Council. This included a revised Complaints Procedure, consideration of asking for an addition to the Chichester District Council Infrastructure Business Plan and some Personnel matters. Next week Val and Donna have Chichester District Council’s Planning Committee on Wednesday. On Thursday, Donna and I have CDC’s Regeneration Board but I will struggle to join as nearly all of it is taking place when I have timetabled lessons.
I learnt this week that Selsey’s newest town councillor, Reform’s Matt Davison, has a hotel/pub near my school. I have yet to meet him but think I drove past his hotel recently when I returned from visiting a nearby school, back to my own.
Please have your say on the different proposals for Local Government Reorganisation in Sussex: -

As always, from the whole Team, stay safe.
