Gaisford Ward Newsletter
The Local Priorities for Gaisford set by the Panel at the last meeting on 10th March 2010.
1.Parking on Corners – Dangerous parking on corners and Junctions.
2.Anti Social Behaviour – Concentrating on those who are drinking and using drugs.
The next panel meeting is to be held on May 12th 19:00 2010 19:00 hours at the Millennium Hall in Worthing High School , South Farm Road, Worthing. This is to the left of school when entering the car park.
The bad weather that we had this year has resulted in numerous potholes on our roads. I have reported several of these whilst out on patrol to WSCC Highways dept, whilst doing this I was informed that although we have many complaints about the potholes fewer are actually rung in. Although It is going to be some time repairing them it would be helpful to inform Highways where the large or deep ones are as its possible they are unaware of it.
As a result of our recent walkabout it was noted that the railway line at Jacobs ladder was being used as a tip. I am pleased to say after a request to the railways this has now been cleared.
The dog warden came to the panel meeting and advised that signs you can place outside on your property can be provide by contacting him. Bags to dispose of dog waste can be collected from the town hall whilst stocks last.

Last month we reported incidents in South Farm Road where youths had been throwing fruit around the Wiston Ave junction. This has since stopped helped now by the store no longer displaying fruit and vegetables outside after 18:00 hours.
Recently we have had a lot of calls about cold calling from the RED CROSS although when challenged they are legitimate we strongly recommend you ask for ID and not let any one into your home you don’t know.
There have been a lot of text messages going out regarding attempts to take children from TESCO store’s. AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME SUSSEX POLICE DO NOT SEND OUT MESSAGES for this or any other news to the public.
The Gaisford News letter will shortly be combined with Tarring and sent to you every two months not monthly.
Graffiti Hotline.
Worthing Borough Council, with the help of West Sussex and Adur councils, has a free graffiti cleaning service. It is available to residents and businesses of all sizes, denominations and tenancies. All it takes is for you to contact us.
We remove swearing, racism and other offensive graffiti normally within 24 working hours. The majority of other graffiti we remove within 48 hours where we can. This is influenced by the workload and weather of course. Our current record stands at 92% of all graffiti removed within 2 working days of being reported to us. Normally we do not come out on weekends or bank holidays unless the graffiti is of an extreme nature.
