For those of you who are unfamiliar with the
concept of the Neighbourhood Panel, they are being developed in the Mid
Sussex area to assist the Neighbourhood Policing teams with setting
priorities for us to work on.
August saw the first meeting of the new Hassocks,
Keymer and Clayton Neighbourhood Panel and follow-on meeting have been
held in October and December.
The meetings are informally chaired by myself, PCSO Emma
Collett with attendance by main coordinator Bruce Burgess.
At the December meeting we set the following priorities:
Issue: Addressing parking/anti-social driving
issues in Semley / Stonepound Road and Stamford Avenue.
Action: Letter to WSDC regarding a Traffic Regulation Order and
letter to be taken to all households for signing. Ongoing
situation monitoring plus patrols on guide hut days and rush hour.
Issue: Anti-Social Driving.
Action: Continue to promote the reinstatement of
Speedwatch. Contact previous members of Speedwatch via letter and
visits.

We have set various actions for ourselves relating to
these and previous topics and you will see us in the village carrying
these out. Please visit my blog to look at the priorities in more detail.
As one of the priorities is to highlight the profile of
the panel, we are looking for more volunteers to join us. We will
welcome all new members of all ages but are keen to see the Hassocks
Traders represented and those attending the village schools
(teachers/parents or children) and youth organisations. In
December we welcomed three new panel members.
Our next meeting is on 18th Feb 2010
at 7.30pm at the Council Chambers, Parish Centre in Adastra Park.
Future meeting dates will be advised here.
Follow-on meetings are held about every ten weeks to
give an opportunity to provide feedback and updates on progress and to
review the priorities.
If you are interested in joining us, please

contact details or call on 0845 60 70 999 ext 27411.
