A beautiful white peacock is in the fields at Herrings.  Seems quite happy, but may not know how to get home.
If he belongs to you, please contact me.

In November, the Sussex Community Foundation published its report – Sussex Uncovered 3.
It is a data-fuelled report that looks at the needs and strengths of Sussex – East, West and Brighton and Hove.  A key finding is that homelessness has risen dramatically in parts of Sussex, with many more individuals and families on the edge of losing their homes.

Sadly our PoW tree has fallen, as expected.  The tree was around 250 years old.  Click on the link below to see all the details from the Dallington Tree Warden.
RIP PoW Tree

If you receive an email from “me,” – from irene.marchant@alphaproject.net and the reply email address is irene.marchantv@btinternet.com – PLEASE DELETE IMMEDIATELY AND DO NOT CLICK ANY LINKS.
This is a strange one and BT are looking into it.  My BT email address has not been active for some 6/7 years and did not have the “v” in it.
I’ve run a full scan on all my devices and they are safe.

As usual over the Christmas period there will be changes to waste collection arrangements with no collections on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve.  From Monday 13.01.20 all waste and recycling collections will return to their normal days.
This year RDC will not be sending out calendars to residents, thereby saving £16,000 in postage alone.
To find out when your waste and recycling collections will take place over the Christmas period, please go to the links below – you can also subscribe to My Alerts and RDC will email you weekly reminders and local information.
