Air Ambulances Rise to Road Accident Chanllege More

Red helicopter above village green
London’s Air Ambulance

Charity air ambulance helicopters from across the region played a major role in dealing with a spate of road traffic accidents across the region at the weekend. The specialist medical crews of the Surrey and Essex air ambulances were all called into action to treat and fly patients to hospitals with the minimum of delay.

No less than four helicopters went to the scene of an accident in Billingshurst, East Sussex, on Saturday evening, when three teenagers were seriously injured. They included the three charitably funded air ambulances from Kent, Sussex and London and the Sussex police helicopter. A car, in which the two women and two men, all in their late teens were travelling, was in collision with a lorry at a junction in the road.

Information about Ridgley Road

The 2005 survey identified 29 households,
from a broad spectrum of the community,
including; single people, couples and local families
who were unable to access a home suitable for their needs.
More recent evidence shows that the 2005 survey
underestimates the need in the village.

Some thoughts on the New coalition Goverment

Most political parties are internal coalitions,

Their members having a range of views. The idea of broad church parties, and some sort of concesus between the members or between rank and file and the leaders

The Lib - Dems in the past had no main idology In the North they were anti Labour In the South It was Labour has no chance Vote Lib Dem to beat the Torries even in Labour held seats

In future elections how can the Lib - Dems say the only way to beat the Torries is to vote Lib-Dem

The Academies Bill – marketisation meets sectarianism

Thatcher Years were an less an aberation than we thought
This is the true face of the Tories

10 August 2010

This deficit is not the result of gross misconduct of the general population and is not limited to Britain or the fault of the Labour party. It is a global crisis that originated in meltdown of the financial and banking sector, which arguably the whole western system has been involved in in one way or another, partly because of the lack of regulations and the free reign of the market. And for which the whole western world needs to find ways of dealing with.

The messages that this government are sending out are destructive to morale and self-esteem of this country, they are punishing and threatening. It is a cheap and populist way of throwing up of values, e.g. arts against sciences (what has more grip on reality, what counts more) making the arts marketable and market-oriented. The global financial crisis shows what can happen if markets are the only measure tool.

The Ghost

Chiddingfold Village Hall Cicema

Thursday 2nd September

List of previous films


An unremarkable ghost-writer has landed a lucrative contract to redact the memoirs of Adam Lang, the former UK Prime Minister.
After dominating British politics for years, Lang has retired with his wife to the USA.
He lives on an island, in luxurious, isolated premises complete with a security detail and a secretarial staff.
Soon, Adam Lang gets embroiled in a major scandal with international ramifications that reveals how far he was ready to go in order to nurture UK's "special relationship" with the USA.
But before this controversy has started, before even he has closed the deal with the publisher, the ghost-writer gets unmistakable signs that the turgid draft he is tasked to put into shape inexplicably constitutes highly sensitive material. ..

Surrey Air AmblanceLogo (Helicopter) The Air Ambulance service in Kent, Surrey and Sussex costs around £ 3 million annually to stay airborne. Receiving no funding from the Government or the National Lottery the charity is entirely dependent upon the generosity of the public to support the two helicopters, based at Marden and Dunsfold.


Saving lives in road crashes BBC News

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8421281.stm
Four or five times a day, anyone near the Royal London Hospital in the capital's East End can hear the familiar clatter of a helicopter taking off from the roof of the Accident and Emergency wing.

On board is likely to be Dr Gareth Davies, a consultant in emergency medicine and pre-hospital care. Along with a paramedic, another doctor and two pilots, London's distinctive red air ambulance will be flying to the scene of a serious accident.

This could typically be someone who's fallen from a height, a child with serious burns, or even the victim of a shooting. Mostly however, it is to attend a serious road crash

Wheelie Bin Cleaning Services

Over the last few weeks there have been reports from the Witley/Milford and Charterhouse area about a male calling door to door offering wheelie bin cleaning services. This male offers to clean bins after they have been emptied and asks for £20 to cover a number of cleanings. The male then does not return to clean bins and offers a range of excuses why he is not able to carry out the work.

Unfornately, the male is plausible and very pleasant, and gives a home address in Horsell, Woking. He has provided documentation stating the Waverley Borough Council has given approval for his work, which is not true as Waverley do not endorse specific traders. He also carries a piece of paper which he claims is signed by a Surrey police officer. This is also a fake document, as we do not approve traders to operate.

This male is already under investigation by Surrey trading standards, and also by our colleagues in Woking.

Please could anyone approached by this man, or by any other trader you may have suspicions of
please contact Surrey police on 0845 125 2222.

I've written many pieces in our Parish magazine about our bells;
at St Mary's Chiddingfold John.

By now I hope you appreciate that we have a very special legacy in these bells, and I do hope that the village is a much better place for having them. (It would be a very sad thing to NOT have them surely!)

However, I, and the other bell ringers, are mindful that our ringing is intrusive, (loud).
Despite our best efforts, there are occasions when the music is not at it's best, particularly when practice and learners are involved! Whilst we have some sound-control, the sound of the bells does reach parts that other music does not!

So I am asking the village, and anyone else affected, to let me know your views - More
