The RPC Traffic Sub-Committee has petitioned the centre of Rogate village for a 20mph default speed limit, taking in West Street (including the Parsonage), East Street, North Street and Haben Hill.

Using food in a sustainable way to create electricity! What will they think of next?The amount of food we waste each year currently sits at a global figure of 1.3bln tons. An unconceivable sum when we consider the amount of people who are starving in the world. But what can be done to put all this waste to better use? Three councils in North Wales are looking at innovative ways of using food waste in a sustainable way; by turning 20,000 tons of it into electricity each year.

16th February’s Parish Council Elections Sparked Concerns Over Cost of Democracy A response from Ian Croucher. Ex Rogate Parish Council Clerk. I read with interest and some dismay I have to say, the letters in the R & T News last month regarding the upcoming Local Parish Council Elections and felt I simply had to write in defence of Rogate Parish Council, its Chairman Shon Sprackling and all its members both past and present. Rogate Parish has not had an election for over 20 years WHY? , .… PLEASE CLICK HERE to read the rest of this letter |

Rogate’s New Heritage Centre based in Rogate Village Hall. an update from Stephen Allberry. When I first moved to Rogate I was still working for Hampshire County Libraries, setting up ‘Hantsphere’, their local history website. I had always been interested in local history and was keen to learn all about my new home. At the Village Fete I came across the Rogate Society stand. They had a splendid display including pictures, copies of old documents and examples of members' research over the years. This was where the collected wisdom of the village was preserved; so I joined. As a member I soon learned that the Society held an extensive archive and I saw myself spending my retirement days in the archive learning all about Rogate's past. Nothing could be more wrong. Gaining access to these records proved virtually impossible. This is because they were kept in a small corner of the loft above the church vestry. In fact I never got to see the archive until I had taken over the position of archivist for the Society. And what a treasure I found on climbing the ladder to the vestry loft. Records from the various estates in the parish, village societies, maps, photographs, house histories and much more. But they were shut up in a collection of, chests old filing cabinets and plastic shopping bags with no room to go through the collection to see what was there. Over the years by taking boxes home I have managed to produce a very simple list of the holdings and a few years ago members of the Rogate Society took the records over to the Village School where a group of volunteers were able to produce a slightly fuller description of what we had. These records are of no use if they cannot be accessed, but many are unique and they are too valuable too hand out for people to take away and work at home. So for some years it has been the aim of the Society to find somewhere where the records can be held securely, properly organized and catalogued and with space for people to study them in comfort. For a small society with very little funds this seemed a pipe dream. Mairi Rennie, Ann Arnold, Brian Allison and myself have however worked together as a team to make the heritage centre a reality. Mairi is on the Rogate Society and Village Hall committees and was the crucial link. Could the old garage at the back of the Village Hall be transformed into a heritage centre? Mairi had supervised the care of valuable documents and artefacts in a university research library; and knew the village historical materials would deteriorate in the loft where they were stored. She applied unsuccessfully for a lottery grant. Then, Ann Arnold, as a trustee of the Diana Steinberg Charitable Foundation, obtained the funding. Brian Allison negotiated with the Village Hall Trustees and the project has gone ahead over the winter. Already building works have been carried out to create an archive- and user-friendly space. We are now entering the phase of fitting out the centre after which materials will be brought over from the Church and organized in such a way that they can be used and enjoyed by members of the public I have now contacted the West Sussex County Record Office in Chichester. They have been very supportive and offered help with planning and organizing the Rogate Heritage Centre. Where records are of great value and vulnerability it may be that they will be house in the County Record Office but the Office is happy to make copies available for local consultation. We also hope to make available copies of locally records that are held elsewhere such as Parish registers and census returns. There is still much work to be done before we can open the centre to the public. When everything is in place we hope to make the Centre available to anyone with an interest in Rogate. Because of the unique nature of the material this will have to be under supervision but I would expect that there would be regular open times and the ability to arrange appointments to consult the archive. Hopefully when residents are made aware of the documentary resources in their midst they will be encouraged to contribute further and we will be able to leave a growing heritage to future generations.

Olympic Torch Coming Through Rogate update by Brian Allison I attended a Chichester District Council meeting, to represent our village regarding the Olympic torch passing through Rogate on Monday 16th July. Based on the evening stops we think that the torch relay will pass by early morning {NOW CONFIRMED at 9:00 - 9:15} This will be a once-in-a- lifetime for us all to witness. The meeting discussed how we could celebrate this event, and our local school has already been contacted for their views on the day. Extra stewards will be required for the time it takes to pass though and these people must be over 18. Any volunteers? I did also enquire if someone from our area will be running through the village and was informed that it could be anyone who has registered and lives within 30 minutes travelling distance from us. I would now appreciate your views on marking this occasion as it passes through Rogate. My own feelings are to let the school children have a prime and safe viewing point. I am sure they will be dressed in costume for this celebration. We could decorate either side of the road from the shop to the pub, though it is not going to take long for the procession to pass!

PUBLIC STATEMENT By Rogate Parish Council: (1) Rogate Parish Council abhors discriminatory, racist and xenophobic comments about colour, race, nationality and ethnic/national origin and will inform the Police of all possibly criminal comments of this nature that it receives. (2) Rogate Parish Council has no place for innuendo or insinuation about Members joining the Parish Council simply to advance their private planning applications. All Members sign an undertaking to abide by the Code of Conduct on taking up office, which requires Members to declare an interest in all planning applications in which they have a personal interest. If the public has evidence of wrongdoing, they should refer the matter to the Police or to Chichester District Council. (3) Ms. Rennie has misleadingly asserted that two new councillors were elected in May 2011 without public participation. All Members of a Parish Council must stand down after 4 years service. If they so decide, they may stand again for election if they qualify and are duly nominated. Members are elected without a public poll only if seats are unopposed, that is, if the public do not nominate more candidates than the number of seats available on the Council. Hence, in May 2011, ALL MEMBERS of Rogate Parish Council were elected without a poll as the public in the Parish did not nominate enough candidates for the Council. (4) In late 2011 and in the absence of a notice to force an election, Members duly voted for the two out of four candidates who had put their names forward for two seats on the Council that had become vacant. However, it is noted that the two failed but "very well-qualified candidates" (as Ms. Rennie has described them) decided not to stand for election on 16th February 2012. (5) Rogate Parish Council wishes to engage constructively with all the people of the Parish, to improve their well-being and to promote a more sustainable, cohesive and vibrant community in which everyone feels welcomed and valued, even those who may previously have felt disgruntled and disregarded. We invite everyone in the Parish to support and get involved with our positive and progressive aspirations for the Parish. |
