I have just returned home this evening to find Bramley Green gridlocked with parked cars for I assume a fireworks display at the rugby club. Why weren't the residents of BG informed by the rugby club of this event? The parking is nigh on blocking mine and many other driveways, not to mention access to the estate itself. Very selfish in my opinion - don't s**t on your doorstep as the saying goes.
Maybe I am a moaning (young) git but does anyone else agree there should have been some prior warning? |

Dear NickR60,
You seem to be implying that if the rugby club had notified the residents of your estate of the event, this may not have happened.
Two points. If the offenders knew of the event, it would suggest that there had been advertising that perhaps you missed. Also, do you honestly think that if the club had notified you, the offenders would have parked any different? |

| Not sure where I have implied that this wouldn't have occurred had leaflets been dropped through doors but a little common courtesy to the rubgy club's neighbours would have gone a long way. |

| Funnily enough I don't follow rugby but thanks for your comments. Even a sign post outside of the rugby club wouldn't have gone amiss. Anyway enough from me. |

I understand your point about not following rugby, but it was in the adver as well 
Regarding them putting a sign up,I remember an earlier topic about the fireworks at palmer road recreation ground, they put signs up, and they were complained about on here |

| the rugby club really do need to get their punters to stop parking on the bend into bramley green at the top end... 15 cars with no passing space i counted the other night... meant having to go round the bend on the wrong side of the road with zero visibility of oncoming traffic |

I live on Nursery Roa and would agree that the evening of the fireworks it was very congested with lots of cars parked in perhaps not the best places. But I watched the display myself with my children and it was great!! It is yet another event that we are lucky to have in our village and although directly affected by the parking it's just one night!!!!
I do however have issues with Rugby club members parking around my property during the season despite ther being plenty of parking at the club however I hope most of this will be resolved by the planned parking restrictions that form part of the traffic calming scheme ....if it ever appears!! |

don't agree, a bunch of houses wouldn't have an insanely loud pa system blaring out at 10pm in the middle of the summer keeping my kids awake so i'd be all for it - throw in a few more hundred houses on the humber vhb site and i'd be even more happier, get rid of the infuriating light pollution and all the supermarket lorries (does anyone despair when they buy growing herbs at the supermarket only to find that they have come from a few metres from their own home but racked up several hundred "food miles" to reach you)
oh and then let's get more houses across the other side of roundstone lane to do away with those blasted car transporters that always block up the road and the clapped out old buses pumping out stinky fumes and people driving those apple vans that have not got a clue what they're doing...
houses sound an improvement if you ask me (which you didn't) |

| The Rubgy Club , the Nurseries etc were all here before Bramley Green was so I wish all you bloody moaners would think about all that . We are not living on paradise island and mostly life around here is good. Why everyone is obsessed with parking is beyond me !!!! Sorry but life can be tough and it certainly is anything but around here !!!!! So I guess that is why a few people around here bleet on about trivial things . |

Totally agree....wonder how many ""Enviro Miles "" were used to build Bramley Green. A site that Angmering did not need. |

A couple of points.
The Rugby Club land can not be sold for housing its prevented in their constitution.
The New Years Eve Party is already advertised and will include fireworks (presumably at mid-night). It has plenty for the kids this time and under 16s are free! |

I totally disagree that Bramley Green is a 'site that Angmering did not need'! The businesses have certainly seen the benefit from it and without thoses businesses where would our village be!!!! or is it down to the usual 'real angmering vs new angmering' thing!!
I agree completely that the Rugby club was here well before BG however a little consideration never goes amiss, and if we all lived by the 'we were here first' where would that get us? I personally have no objection to the odd late night parties they have especially not on special occasions such as new years eve no doubt I shall be too drunk celebrating elsewhere to care!! |

that the rugby club was here first doesn't make it ok to make so much racket with their pa system in the summer, nor does it excuse the parking problems they are now causing - there is such a thing as being a good neighbour and sadly i don't think the rugby club is excelling at that...

From the news pages: Firstly, it would appear that Persimmon have secured an option to buy Worthing Rugby Club's site in Roundstone Lane as the Club are proposing to leave the ground in 2013. Persimmon would build 200 homes on the land.
There you go, only one or two more fireworks nights for you to put up with |

The article in The Angmering Society newsletter stating that the club were proposing to leave their site in 2013 was written by the co-chairman of Angmering's Community-Led Plan Business Committee. I would not have thought the Society would have published the article if they did not believe in its veracity.
The article also went on to state: "Both the rugby club and Persimmon have indicated that they wish to work with the community on the development and take into account their comments and concerns".
If the article is incorrect, is there a senior member of the Rugby Club who can state the Club's position? If there is no response, then we can all draw our own conclusions!
All this is taking the matter somewhat off-topic.
