Annual Parish (Community) Meeting

Our Annual Community Meeting will take place on Wednesday 8th March, from 6.30pm at Wivelsfield Village Hall.

This year’s primary focus is to help raise the profile of Wivelsfield based clubs and organisations, to ensure residents know about the great variety of activities available and that clubs remain well supported.

The evening will be largely informal, giving residents the chance to socialise and talk to club representatives, as well as their local Parish, District and County Councillors.  We’ll also be asking for feedback about what improvements or additional facilities you’d like to see around the Parish.

Please drop in between 6.30 and 7.30pm.  There will then be a very short meeting and question time from 7.30pm.

Free tea, coffee and cake available, as well as a free prize draw for those that come along.

New Voter ID Requirements for Next May’s Elections

Did you know that voters attending polling stations for the local elections next May (and for any elections thereafter) will be required to bring with them a form of photo identification?

To find out more and see a list of acceptable documents, please see the document below.  Anyone who doesn’t currently have any photo ID will be able to apply for a special form, to allow them to vote.

Wivelsfield Recycling Day – Saturday 15th October

Building on the success of the first Recycling Day in March, we’re holding a second ‘Wivelsfield Recycling Day’ on Saturday 15th October.

A great way to locally recycle pre-loved items, anyone with items that they no longer need, but that have plenty of life left in them, can leave them outside their home on the morning of 15th October, for others to come and take if they’d find them useful.  In this way, residents will be helping to encourage the re-use of items, without having to take them to a charity shop and in a way that can benefit others in the immediate community.

We ask you to ensure that everything made available is in good working order, that there aren’t any trip hazards for those walking past, and nothing is left obstructing roads or pavements.   Anyone wishing to take part can download a ‘Wivelsfield Recycling Day’ poster below, to print and display in a window or on the items being given away, to indicate their participation in the event, or feel free to make your own!

Any items which have not been taken are to be removed again at the end of the day.

In return, perhaps anyone who finds things that they’d like to rehome, might like to pop a little ‘thank you’ note through the giver’s door, to let them know their pre-loved items are appreciated.

If you have any questions, please email Liz Gander, the Parish Clerk, via  clerk@wivelsfield.org.uk  or speak to District Councillor Bikson on 07795 188372 /  Nancy.bikson@lewes.gov.uk .
