More parking problems! Could of been in Meads. Sometime ago I was in Eastbourne police station making an enquiry. In front of me was an elderly gentleman who had come in just before me and was waiting at the desk. The officer at the desk stopped writing, looked up and said, "And what can we do for you sir ? " "I drove to Eastbourne, parked and did my shopping and I've been walking round for nearly two hours. I can't remember where I parked my car. Can you help?" said the elderly gentleman. "We're here to help sir, I'll contact an officer on traffic duty." the officer replied. "Oh thank you. She'll be so upset." "Who is 'she' sir?" "That's my wife, I left her in the car."

Parking! I am a resident of The Village and am being driven mad by the lack of parking! The situation is not help by those who live in Beachy Head Road using The Village as a car park! Why don't they park in their own road, or Denton Road where there is much more space? Currently there is a Citroen which has been parked outside a residents house for four days. How inconsiderate is that? There is another guy who parks his big white van right outside peoples houses, blocking out all the light. Both the Citroen and the white van belong to people who live in Beachy Head Road, it may not be illegal what the owners of these vehicles are doing, but it is totally selfish! And to think residents of The Village have been issued with parking tickets for parking on the single yellow line. How are we suppose to unload our shopping or clean our cars? village37@btinternet.com | ||||

Many of you already know it will be a private practice. I would very much like to be able to accept NHS patients, however after discussion with the Primary Care Trust, they have confirmed "we are not considering commissioning additional NHS dental activity in that locality". If you would like NHS dental facilities in Meads Village then it is essential to write a letter direct to Mr Mike Wood, Chief Executive, East Sussex Downs and Weald PCT, 36 - 38 Friars Walk, Lewes, BN7 2PB. I was born in Poland but I spent most of my life in Scandinavia. Graduated 1986 at Lund's University in Sweden, moved to Copenhagen in 1989. Ten years later came to England and eventually settled in Eastbourne. Our surgery is fitted with state of the art equipment, digital xray and is fully computerised. We offer a wide range of dental treatment. Denplan/Private. Preventitive, restorative, cosmetic. Children welcome. Emergency dental care. Nervous patients welcome. Ultra modern practice.

Parliamentary Expenses. From Eastbourne Green Party - Leslie Dalton. The Green Book, which is Parliament's guide to Members' Allowances, is clear on the principles of additional housing costs; see below (extracts in italics). This can be found by a Google search - green book, parliamentary expenses. It makes plain the principle that, expenses are for reimbursement of costs properly incurred in the performance of the members' duties. It seems that this principle has been lost by some members who have treated it simply as a perk of the job, which is at variance with the Green Book. The widespread nature of erroneous interpretation means that only a few specimen scapegoats have been selected. The legitimate expenses are linked to the member not his/her family or the convenience for the location of any workplace (or place of education), however worthy these may be, save that of the member. The Green Book Revised Edition July 2009 (The wording of this section has remained essentially unchanged for some time) A guide to Members' allowances Members of Parliament are provided with financial support in the form of allowances to enable them to work effectively in Parliament and in their constituencies. Parliamentary allowances are designed to ensure that Members are reimbursed for costs properly incurred in the performance of their duties. (including) Overnight stays away from home whilst on parliamentary duties. The following relates to expenditure incurred subject to the above principle. Appropriate expenditure ~ Accommodation ~ Either Rent of one additional home in either London or the constituency (limited to £1250 per month for any new rental agreement on a newly-rented property) (in addition the cost of a deposit may be met, although this must be repaid when the deposit, or a proportion thereof, is returned), Or ~ Mortgage interest in respect of one additional home in either London or the constituency (limited to £1250 per month), Or ~ Hotel accommodation in either London or the constituency (limited to £1250 per month) Subsistence A flat-rate sum of £25 may be claimed for any night which a Member spends away from his or her main home on parliamentary business. .......

EASTBOURNE MP GETS CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH. Eastbourne MP Nigel Waterson has received confirmation from Sir Thomas Legg's independent investigation into his parliamentary allowances that there are "No Issues" to report. Nigel commented: "I am naturally pleased that Sir Thomas has confirmed in his letter that all my claims were genuine and justified. This is actually the third independent investigation to reach the same conclusion." "I hope my constituents will also be pleased (but not I hope surprised) that I have not been the subject of any criticism; nor have I been required to repay any money." "But I still believe the whole system now needs root and branch reform. David Cameron has given a clear lead on these issues, in contrast to the other party leaders. We need a general election as soon as possible, to clean up Parliament as well as to elect a fresh government." Nigel Waterson can be reached on 07850 377274 Email watersonn@parliament.uk | |||

If we don't keep supporting our local shops, they will... I completely agree with Kate. If we don't keep supporting our local shops, they will have to close and will be boarded up and derilict - that is until all the other big corporations come and take over. It will ruin our high street so please don't shop there. If you have supermarket needs and the Co-op can't help or is too expensive please consider Sainsbury's or Somerfield in town. As usual the new store has ridden roughshod over Meads residents not heeding our thoughts or concerns one little bit. I do feel like phoning the helpline they have on their hoarding the 'we're here to help' one and say 'please can you go away - that would be helpful' but I fear it's too late for that. I know most of the big supermarkets are the same to some degree but the new store treats everyone like it doesn't care. Its record with suppliers is terrible, squeezing and squeezing prices until the profit the supplier gets means is next to nothing. And they say it's for the customer - yeah, right! I think you'll find it's for their big fat- cat bosses and shareholders. Liz Silvester chalkfamily@madasafish.com | ||||

SHOPPING HELP If anyone is stuck indoors and needs a hand with shopping from the Meads Street shops, I'm more than happy to help. I live right next to the Co-op so it's easy enough for me to pop out. Just call or email me what you'd like and when and I can buy and drop round for you and pick up the money then. I don't have a car but am more than willing to run an errand or two for anyone who's a bit stuck, especially in this weather.

With the opening of the large supermarket in a few weeks time, I would ask everyone... With the opening of the large supermarket in a few weeks time, I would ask everyone if they can NOT shop there. Please keep supporting the greengrocers, the butchers and the Co-op. The more money you give to this store, the more our village will be destroyed. Our community is in our hands. As a nutritionist I have never and will never shop at this particular store, not even for petrol. Its appalling that one in every three pounds is given to them, their history on animal welfare is not great either nor the way they are spreading like a virus over our green belt. Please look to your conscience and do the right thing and be bothered. Its only when communities and individuals come together that extraordinary things happen. Kate Arnold | ||||
