Rustington Community Partnership continues to work hard to try
and achieve a better community
atmosphere and environment for the residents of Rustington
Parish. It is continuing with its Green Project, headed up by
Lynda Leese. A relatively
new
member to the Committee, she is working extremely hard with help
from Deirdre Carolin and all members saw the results of their
labours at the Carnival Fete on Saturday 18 June.
The
Community Garden is growing nicely, and the perennial plants and
shrubs are really starting to establish themselves. At the
moment, following
the
dying off of the spring bulbs, there is not a lot of colour in
the Garden, but the delphiniums, ceanothus, hibiscus,
rhododendrons, together with the clematis, honeysuckle and
wisteria are maturing and will produce a mass of colour later.
The
garden was designed to be low maintenance, so that it would not
require planting up with new
bedding
twice every year and could be maintained by a group of
volunteers. Unfortunately, the Partnership has very limited
funds available for plants, as the grant it received only
covered the
construction of the Project and not ongoing costs.
The Jobs
Vacancy Board still attracts considerable attention and
satisfies a definite need in the Village.
The
Partnership is always looking for new members with new ideas, or
just people who want to help keep Rustington special. Please
contact Austen Beard on 01903 782366 if you are interested.
