17. Communication workshop session – Policy Resources & Communications Committee recently commenced an initiative to review the Councils current communication protocol and its current approach to communications to the wider public. The initiative was being led by Cllr Sewell who set up a number of 1:1 meetings with Councillors to seek their views/feedback on communications with the intention to then set up a focus group meeting with all Councillors to share the information and develop future options as to how the Council may wish to consider developing its communications approach.
The initial intention was to run this focus group session prior to the scheduled elections, however members felt that it would be more beneficial to run this session after the new council was formed (post 16th May) to enable existing members and new members to engage in this process.
Members are therefore requested to consider holding this session one Saturday morning which was a preferred approach expressed previously by members who participated in the 1:1 sessions.
The sessions will be held on either:
3rd June
10th June
24th June
1st July
Members are requested to confirm their availability for these dates as soon as practical via the Clerk so that the session can be organised.

PC23/29 Reports
29.1 West Sussex County Councillor report (Cllr K Lord)
Highways issues
Ockley Lane – Ockley Park site traffic lights – clarification is being sought regarding how long the current traffic lights are to remain in situ. Confirmation has been received that the contractor will resurface the southern end of the works and deal with the water pooling issue at the northern end, and county have indicated that this work will not be signed off until the drainage issue is resolved.
Clayton Hill – poor surfacing was originally scheduled for repair in April but the revised resurfacing date is later this month. Works will last 1 day and will entail 100sq meter of work.
Underhill Lane – Proposed closure from 31st July regarding Broadband installation however resident’s access will be available.
Pedestrian Crossing (South bank) point has been installed to aide crossing Keymer Road.
Cycle Markings – Keymer Road – WSCC have installed these as part of the initiative of a cycle route from Sayers Common to Downlands. As it is not possible to accommodate a dedicated cycle lane these signs are to act as an additional alert to drivers that cyclists are around. This scheme will progress into Dale Avenue later this year probably in the school holidays.
Also it’s proposed to upgrade the crossing outside Halfords (formerly National Tyres).
Public Rights of Way (PROW) – Footpath closure 4C (near Hammonds Mill) from 17th May for 3 weeks to enable work on the bridge.
Footpath 11K six month closure, however it’s been agreed that the contractor will only close those sections as needed so parts of this PROW will remain accessible.
Pothole reports: Indicated that KL had raised a number areas directly with Highways however the overall county repair programme remains challenging.
Members raised concerns regarding the Stonepound crossing (North – South) and were advised that at the current time due to the location being a designated AQMA site, they are unable to resolve as they would not be permitted to hold vehicles at that site for any longer periods. However KL indicated that air quality was improving and if that location becomes an undesignated AQMA site alternative options may be possible to implement.
Members raised concerns generally about sections of road and verges along Ockley Lane including at the Ockley Park site entrance but also stretches towards Folders lane and towards the village.
Members subsequently requested the clerk to write to Mid Sussex District Council requesting assurances regarding the timing of the re-instatement highways works under the terms of the planning permission.
29.2 District Councillors reports: – Cllr Sue Hatton (SH) advised members of the outcome of the recent election: 20 Liberal Democrats, 18 Conservatives, 4 Greens, 5 Independents and 1 Labour resulting in no overall control.
29.3 Rail matters – The Clerk advised that representatives of the Rail Group had recently met with representatives of Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) to discuss timetable issues and in particular the Cambridge Train that no longer stops at Hassocks. As a result the Bedfordshire train is now very busy, therefore the GTR have agreed to re-look at this to see whether the Cambridge train can be re-instated at some point in the future.
29.4 Youth Initiatives – Cllr Gaudencio informed members that at a previous meeting she had indicated that the Hassocks Youth Project (HYP) were not proposing to schedule events at that time, however they were now in a position to explore further options identified in relation to the village survey and the market. Members may recall that HYP operate under the umbrella of Hassocks Community Organisation therefore Cllr Gaudencio provided further detail of organisations relationship with HCO for the benefit of the new members present and would keep members informed of future initiatives.
29.5 Police matters – The Clerk informed members that he and Cllr Weir were scheduled to attend a Police Liaison meeting with representatives from the Police Commissioners’ office later this month where they would be able to raise issues regarding policing in Hassocks. There is also a scheduled Police Beat Surgery meeting to be held on the 4th July 11am – 12am in the Parish Centre where members of the public will have the opportunity to raise any issues/concerns directly with the local PCSO’s.
Members raised a number of suggested areas that should be raised at the Police liaison meeting.
29.6 Report from Councillors on meetings of outside bodies where the Council is represented – Cllr Bill Hatton indicated that he had recently attended the Downlands School Sports Hall Committee. Although Freedom Leisure have experienced tough trading conditions with the increases in utility costs etc, there are positive signs of memberships now increasing.
Cllr Gaudencio indicated that she was scheduled to attend an HCO meeting where they considered the contents of the Village Action Plan commissioned by MSDC last year but was unable to attend but had received the minutes. Cllr Gaudencio had been requested to raise some items with the council in respect of signage, speed limits and interconnectivity of public transport and sought clarification as to how these items might be considered by the Council.
Cllr Gaudencio was advised that if the HCO formerly write to the council setting out in detail the specific initiatives they wish the council to consider they can then be referred to the relevant committee to consider.
PC23/30 CHAIRMANS REPORT – nothing to report
PC23/31 CLERK’S REPORT –
31.1 Municipal meeting Calendar
The Clerk introduced the report setting out the draft programme of meetings for consideration for the forthcoming year. Members considered the content of the proposed meeting schedule and RESOLVED to APPROVE the programme of meetings.
31.2 Precept Members were requested to note that the Council had received its first half instalment of its precept in the sum of £156,151. Noted.
PC23/32 Communications workshop session; Members were informed that a number of members had participated in various 1:1 meetings with Cllr Sewell who is leading on this work stream. It had been agreed that a joint meeting would then be convened and all Councillors invited to consider the outcome of these sessions and to consider how they may wish to take any outcomes forward. The report set out a number of dates for consideration which fall on a Saturday as this had been the preferred day expressed by those attending the 1:1 sessions.
Cllr Sewell provided further details of work undertaken to date and how he would like to progress this.
Cllr Weir requested that rather than respond to the clerk setting out availability it would be helpful if a date could be agreed at this evening’s meeting. Members were therefore requested to consider the date options with a view to establishing a date that suited the most members.
After discussion between members the preferred date was agreed as June 3rd 2023. The following members indicated they would be available to attend: Cllr Sewell, Cllr Weir, Cllr Gaudencio, Cllr Bunting, Cllr Simmons, Cllr Neal, and Cllr Shepherd other members were requested to review their diaries further to ascertain whether they may also be available on this date. It was also agreed that Cllr Sewell would prepare an outline agenda for the session and circulate prior to the meeting.
