Midhurst

From Clamfield across to the Mions.

Over to Midhurst with, of course, Petersfield bang in the middle.

Or up to Borden, Lippert and Liss.

Let me know.

Maggie, do you live in Petersfield?

I live in Midhurst, so not too

far.

OK, and have you had this happen around your neighbourhood as well?

And then we keep our normal bin in the kitchen as well.

So you can just use both.

And how often in Midhurst do your food waste bins get emptied by the council?

I'm not too sure myself, but...

At first I sought out my father-in-law.

It was summer, and he was at Midhurst, a watering place, with his son.

I wanted this man to know I was abroad, wanted him to know of the fire that now burned within me.

I made my way toward the beach where I was told I might find him, and as I approached, I saw a figure in the water, swimming among the waves.

Yeah.

I think, you know, with its warm red glow on the top, it's like a beacon when, you know, wherever you're driving back from, you're driving back from Midhurst, you

see it miles out and you realise kind of how prominent that particular location is.

We've had this announcement about the sudden end or pause for local government organisation.

Sussex is starting to think much bigger.

One housing plan, one transport plan, one growth strategy, one prosperity plan, one new strategic authority with its thinking covering places as different as Hastings, Brighton, Crawley, Worthing, Crowborough, Erridge, Horsham, Midhurst, Chichester.

But perhaps one of the really interesting questions is where does the small and the experimental... and the hyper-local test and learn sit within the bigger, bigger, bigger.

When individual towns and cities become laboratories for solving very particular problems, housing, transport, pollution, sustainability, public spaces, and then are able to share what works from that at scale to the whole region, you get something quite unusual and you get something perhaps different to what Sussex is used to.

Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the Conservative Party, has announced changes to her shadow cabinet.

These include the appointments of Andrew Griffith, MP for Arundel and South Downs, which encompasses Hillbrow, Rake, Rogate and Midhurst, and Damien Hines, who represents East Hampshire, including Petersfield, Lys, Beryton, Clamfield and East Meehan.

Mr Griffith was promoted from his position as Shadow Secretary of State for Business and Trade to Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, while Mr Hines will serve as Shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.

Both MPs since 2010 have worked in government on the front benches, with Mr Hines serving as Education Secretary and Mr Griffith as Minister for Science, Innovation and Technology.

Below were the household, above on a raised dais the family table, with places ever ready for those frequent guests who dropped in from the high road outside.

Such a one had just come, an old priest, journeying from the Abbey of Chertsey to the Priory of St. John at Midhurst.

He passed often that way, and never without breaking his journey at the hospitable board of Cosford.

Welcome again, good Father Athanasius, cried the burly knight.
