Couple of Imminent Reminders:
Monday 18th March is the Third Evening Meeting of the Car(e)Free Group: 7:30 at the Park Tavern, Priory Road – a lot to report on – meeting with Stagecoach and feedback from the shops and businesses we have been reaching out to.
We are meeting Brendan from Kiwi Recruitment and Peter who used to work up in London for one of the London Boroughs and organised their Car Free Days – eg on Chancery Lane.
Do come along and find out how you can help make this day a reality in Chichester like it is in so many other places.

Jacqui also reminds us that Injunctions-Eating away at our right to protest

Mary Iden: has clarified about the Brewery Field / Alder Buckthorn – sorry Mary.
( I have also toned down the Main Meeting Notes, and provide a revised, new PDF.)
Chichester City Council (in association with WSCC) wouldn’t allow a hedge to be planted along the boundary between Brewery Fields and the school playing field to the north – they didn’t say that they wouldn’t allow a few alder buckthorn, and in fact Paula and Bebette found space for a few there in odd corners.
Jenny Cole: Asks that the time of the Repair Cafes is amended to 2-5pm rather than 1 til 4 on April 13th May 11th and June 8th! Here’s the facebook link to the event; https://www.facebook.com/events/586801405166999/
Sorry, Jenny. We have shared around a lot of “Repair Cafe” Flyers with the correct times. Repair Cafe, second Saturday of Month at The Quaker Meeting House (Friends), Priory Road, Chichester PO19 1NX

Claire Wilton: Sunday 17th March: Tree Planting on the Manhood –
Philip Maber: (with thanks to Jonathan Brown, Adrian Moss, Sarah Sharp & Others). We need to raise the profile of the sustainable transport links between Chichester and Emsworth – a fast cycle commuter route along the A259 and a slower, safe, scenic route closer to the railway – with connection between the two. The Scenic Route (presumably incorporating The Emperor Way – Fishbourne) can also help provide the vital Nature Corridor Network – linking in with Centurion Way and Salterns Way, (SDNP and Chichester Harbour Etc.)
Currently, WSCC have a ChemRoute Feasibility Study underway (“ChemRoute” being the link between Chichester and Emsworth). Clearly, this needs more publicity and support.
A very significant way that our Community can feed into promoting safe, alternative transport options around our area is through the Chichester Cycle Forum (next Meeting Mon 25th March, at 6:00 p.m. at County Hall).
Please let me know if this interests you and you’d like to get involved: Philip Maber <themabers@gmail.com>
In reply to Richard Oliver: concerns over 5G here is the Lancet article (thank you Jacqui): https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(18)30221-3/fulltext?dgcid=raven_jbs_etoc_email&fbclid=IwAR1xw_s8iNLFxNJjKR8MGTJ_LaUYZdH375Yy-FcSnQ0FpczEWcr2YJ-bAdo
