NEW
CYCLE ROUTE SIGNS VANDALISED
Signage for the new Salterns Way
cycle route, that runs from Chichester to the
coast at West Wittering, has been vandalised just
days after it was installed. The new route that
has been agreed with the landowners over which
the route runs and parish councils has already
received acclaim from those who have used it.
Rangers at Chichester Harbour Conservancy had
spent hours putting up the direction signs and
interpretation boards along the route. But just
days after signs had been put up at Birdham, they
were removed many along with their solid wooden
posts. Despite the signs having been replaced
once, they were again taken down.
Clear signage of the route which is suitable for
both cycles and all-terrain wheelchairs is
essential. The purpose of the Salterns Way is to
provide a safe and scenic route for cyclists. It
frees up the footpaths for walkers and also helps
keep cyclists off the busy main roads. The route
has been welcomed by many residents and Parish
Councils.
Philip Couchman, Manager of the Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty appealed to the
public, 'It is a real shame that after all our
hard work these signs have been taken. I don't
think it is the casual vandalism of children - if
someone has a problem with the route or with the
signage, I am very willing to talk with them. If
anyone has information please get in contact with
me urgently, or with the police who have been
informed of the situation.'
Funding of the Salterns Way has been by the
Heritage Lottery Fund and a number of other
charities including Friends of Chichester Harbour.
The cost of signage is significant and each
stolen or destroyed sign is a crime and is a
waste of the money budgeted for this project.

CHICHESTER TO
WEST WITTERING CYCLE ROUTE
A new 16km cycle route from Chichester to West
Wittering has now been opened. The route provides
a safe and scenic way to travel between the city
and the sea. Much of the route which has been
named the Salterns Way is also suitable for all-terrain
wheelchairs.
The route starts at the Cross in the centre of
Chichester and finishes at the sand dunes of East
Head. It passes through the harbourside villages
of Apuldram, Dell Quay, Birdham, Itchenor and
West Wittering. Along the route which is all
through the Chichester Harbour Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), you can see
farmland, marinas, old churches and woodland.
Pubs and cafes with waterside views make useful
stopping points. Much of the route is suitable
for all-terrain wheelchairs or those with soft
tyres, however the road sections should only be
attempted if you are confident of your safety.
Philip Couchman, the AONB Manager said 'We have
worked with local landowners to create the
Salterns Way. The Way provides a safe route for
cyclists to travel from Chichester to West
Wittering whilst enjoying the beautiful views.'
The Heritage Lottery Fund and a number of other
key partners have generously funded the cost of
the route. The route is managed and maintained by
Chichester Harbour Conservancy as part of our
commitment to provide sustainable access to this
unique area. Cycling is an environmentally
friendly form of transport as the bicycle does
not cause pollution, congestion or contribute to
climate change.
Details of the route are available at www.conservancy.co.uk.
Leaflets describing the route and giving
information about amenities are available from
local Tourist Offices and the Harbour Office.

FREE
TO EXPLORE - THE OLD GRAIN STORE AT DELL QUAY
The newly restored Grainstore at the
historic port of Dell Quay, will be open to the
public as part of the Heritage Open Days scheme.
As well as the chance to see the beautifully
restored building, there will be exhibitions and
information about the history and archaeology of
Chichester Harbour. The Grainstore will be open
to residents and visitors free of charge on
Thursday 8 September 2005 from 10am to 5pm. The
opening forms part of Heritage Open Days, a
national event co-ordinated by the Civic Trust
and funded by English Heritage.
In addition to viewing the building, there will
be an evening of family fun at the Harbour
Education Centre at Dell Quay. The event will
have a harbour history theme and runs from 5pm
until 7pm. Nicky Horter, environmental assistant
at Chichester Harbour Conservancy says 'we are
looking forward to opening Conservancy's
facilities at Dell Quay to the public and welcome
the opportunity to tell visitors about the
exciting history and archaeology projects that
the Conservancy are working on.'
Heritage Open Days activities will take place all
over England from 8-11 September 2005 as part of
the European Heritage Days initiative. Over 800,000
visitors up and down the country will enjoy the
four-day event, exploring an outstanding
selection of private homes, castles, factories,
churches, mosques and temples, historic gardens
and parks as well as contemporary design classics.
Nigel Burton, Chairman of the Civic Trust, said:
'Heritage Open Days is about people and places.
It is a celebration of our communities and the
importance of the built environment to our lives.
Local people dedicate their spare time to opening
properties and organising activities: it is their
knowledge and enthusiasm that makes Heritage Open
Days happen.'
Full details of Heritage Open Days activities are
available from Tourist Information Centres and
the Civic Trust website www.heritageopendays.org.

CONSERVANCY
CASH FOR NEW PROJECTS
Chichester Harbour Conservancy
launched its 'Sustainable Development Fund' this
week. The fund is a new source of cash for local
projects. The fund of £100,000 is to finance
community-based projects within the Chichester
Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
These projects will bring social, environmental
and economic benefits to the AONB.
Individuals or organisations are invited to apply
for funding of up to 75% for new or ongoing
projects. Grants of £1000 - £10,000 will be
available. Eligible projects will include the
conservation of the natural, historic and built
environment; recycling projects; community youth
initiatives; or schemes to encourage traditional
rural skills and crafts. The project needn't be
within the AONB but must be able to demonstrate
that it will have a positive impact upon the AONB.
Philip Couchman, the AONB Manager said 'The money
could be used to part fund a Village Design
Statement, or to help a farmer to grow and
promote local produce. We want people to come up
with interesting new ideas that will benefit the
area and the people who live and work here.'
The definition of sustainable development for the
purpose of the fund is:
Sustainable development will promote and enhance
the environmental, economic and community well-being
of Chichester Harbour AONB, and ensure a better
quality of life for everybody, now and for
generations to come.'

SOLAR-POWERED
BOAT COMES TO EMSWORTH
Solar Heritage, a solar-powered catamaran will be
running daily trips for the public from Emsworth
throughout August. The boat, which can take up to
50 passengers, is the ideal way to see Chichester
Harbour from the water.
Owned by Chichester Harbour Conservancy, Solar
Heritage is now in her second year in the Harbour.
She has been used extensively by school groups
and for various themed trips. Now to extend her
availability to the public, she will spend five
weeks based at Emsworth.
On-board, the catamaran hulls provide a very
stable journey. The engines are almost silent, so
as the boat glides through the water there is a
good chance of seeing some of the wildlife for
which Chichester Harbour is so important. Birds
such as Little Egrets, Cormorants and Peregrine
Falcons are regularly seen. Sometimes the Harbour
Seals even pop up to see what's happening!
Jane Hackney, the solar boat co-ordinator said
'It's a great trip for locals and visitors alike.
Everyone comes off the boat having really enjoyed
the trip.'
Daily departures will be from the jetty at
Emsworth. Departure times will be posted each
week on www.conservancy.co.uk (see link top right),
and displayed at the Harbour Office, South
Street, Emsworth. There is no need to book in
advance, as tickets will be on sale fifteen
minutes prior to departure. All trips last abour
1½ hours, tickets are £6 adults and £3
children

NEW WHEELCHAIR
PATH OPENED AT PRINSTED
A section of the footpath along the shoreline at
Prinsted has now been upgraded for use by
wheelchairs. The path provides a short route with
beautiful views of Chichester Harbour.
Prinsted residents along with representatives
from Chichester Harbour Conservancy officially
opened the path on Saturday 16 July. The two
groups worked closely together and were able to
come up with a design that is suitable for
wheelchairs and in sympathy with the natural
habitat. The innovative surface is made of fine
gravel impregnated into resin. This provides a
robust surface with a rural feel that is smooth
enough for domestic wheelchairs.
Philip Couchman, the Conservancy's Environmental
Manager said 'the Conservancy are committed to
making the AONB accessible where possible to
those with mobility problems. This path has fine
views of the harbour and I am sure it will be
used by people of all abilities.'
Funding for the work came from the Conservancy's
Heritage Lottery Fund grant and from the local
residents. The Prinsted path is one of three
sections of path being developed to provide
additional access to the Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty for those with physical
disabilities.
East Head - Works starts
on 6th June
This is just to advise
you that work will be starting on a short-term
solution at East Head on Monday 6th June.
They will be interview and photographic
opportunities from midday onwards. Full details
will follow early next week.

WORK
STARTS ON EAST HEAD - A Partnership Effort
The 6th June sees the first steps in
the partnership effort to conserve East Head and
to protect the amenity it brings to the
Chichester Harbour community and to keep the risk
of flooding West Wittering village to a minimum.
The National Trust, as owners of East Head,
together with Chichester District Council,
English Nature, the Environment Agency, West
Wittering Estate and the Harbour Conservancy have
agreed a short term sand and shingle recycling
scheme. The work, using earth moving equipment,
will last for about two weeks and will hold the
line whilst long term solutions are developed.
Why is all this being done?
Chichester Harbour – A National Asset
The fabulous landscape, the network of coastal
footpaths, the sheltered waters, the abundant
wildlife, the harbourside villages and the sand
dunes at East Head appeal not only to those who
live nearby but to many tourists who travel from
afar.
West Wittering beach car park alone is estimated
to attract half a million visitors each year,
making East Head one of the most popular sites in
the UK.
The Threat
There is a continuing threat to East Head and
potentially to the harbour as a whole. The sea
has already broken through the Hinge by
overwashing a narrow strip connecting East Head
to the shore. If this is allowed to continue a
new tidal channel may form, exposing to wave
action areas that are currently sheltered and
damage to fragile footpaths and wildlife habitats
may ensue. The current understanding is that a
tidal breach would result in the mobilisation of
a great deal more material and as a result,
sedimentation patterns in the harbour may change,
reducing the navigability in large parts of the
harbour. East Head may disappear altogether.
The exposure of the Snowhill Creek flood defences
to increased wave action could result in their
failure and consequent flooding of West Wittering
village centre.
The Short Term Solution
Working in partnership, the organisations
involved in the future of East Head have agreed
that, in the short term, measures will be taken
to strengthen the Hinge by the recycling of sand
and shingle form the north of East Head and the
lowering and shortening of the terminal groynes
on West Wittering beach.
Thirteen thousand cubic meters of sand and
shingle will be recycled from the northern tip of
East Head back to where it originally came from
in the Hinge.
It will have the effect of sealing the eroded gap
in the dunes to a depth of some two metres. This
will ensure continued access to East Head at all
states of the tide and will help maintain the
status quo until a long term solution can be
implemented. It will also help support the
natural process which is seeking to realign the
Hinge eastwards.
The work will cost in the region of £15,000 and
will be paid for the Harbour Conservancy and
Chichester District Council. In addition the
National Trust is funding a programme of
monitoring by Portsmouth University to assess the
impact of the recycling works and will be funding
the replacement of the boardwalks and other
measures to allow continuing public access to
East Head.
There will be no access to East Head during the
works and members of the public are requested to
keep clear of the site for the two weeks that the
work is being undertaken.
The Long Term Solution
There is estimated to be little risk to life from
the changes at East Head. Protection of East Head
may therefore be a lower priority for funding
than other coastal areas. Any future works may,
therefore, have to be funded by the public with
contributions from other agencies.
Amongst the bodies with powers to influence the
solution are English Nature, Environment Agency,
National Trust (the landowner) and Chichester
District Council, who must take account of
sustainability and environmental issues as well
as local economic and wider amenity interests.
The challenge is to come up with a solution that
preserves the value offered by East Head to the
community, in particular it meets the
requirements of:
public access
flood defence
harbour navigation
nature conservation
viabilty and cost effectiveness, such that it
attracts private and other funding
The various agencies are committed to working
together to achieve a solution that will
integrate all of these requirements in the long
term.
Local MP, Andrew Tyrie, said "I strongly
support a long term solution that preserves East
Head and protects the amenity value of the area."

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY FINISH TO NEW CYCLE
ROUTE
The
Chichester to West Wittering cycle and wheelchair
path is more than half completed.
Contractors are working this week on a section
across farmland at Itchenor. All along
the route a variety of surfaces are being used to
ensure that the completed route is
sympathetic to this special area.
An innovative surface is being used on a section
at Itchenor. This involves removing
the top layer of grass, then placing hard matting
on the surface and planting it with
grass seed. As the grass grows the cycle route
surface will be at the original ground
level and will not look noticeably different.
However, users of the path will find the
hard mat under the surface keeps the path dry and
easy for cycling or for wheelchair
use.
Philip Couchman, the Manager of the AONB said,
'we have worked with all the landowners
along the route to ensure that they are happy
with the finished surface and that it is
complementary to the local habitat. The route
will be a scenic option for travelling
through the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
without using the main roads.'
Other sections have been surfaced with local
fittleworth stone or???. As the route goes
through Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty the Conservancy are keen
that the path is unobtrusive but provides a
useful amenity. The purpose of the route is
to provide a safe journey for cyclists down to
West Wittering and also an option for
wheelchair users to see the countryside.
The route should be finished this autumn, the
sections that have been completed are
already open to the public. These include a path
from Dell Quay to Chichester Marina
and the route from Itchenor through Sheepwash
Lane to West Wittering. The route is
being built by Chichester Harbour Conservancy
with funding from the Heritage Lottery
Fund.

DO
YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW TO HELP?
With 2005 being the Year of the
Volunteer, there is no better time to get
involved with
making a difference locally. To encourage more
local people to volunteer, Chichester
Harbour Conservancy have put together a pack of
information detailing the various
opportunities available.
The pack contains factsheets on the groups who
organise volunteer work parties
throughout the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Opportunities exist for a variety of
interest groups including - bird watching,
archaeology, trees, wildlife, practical
maintenance tasks, indoor tasks and many more.
'Volunteers are essential to the welfare
of Chichester Harbour and play an important role
in helping to manage this unique
area,' says Alison Fowler the Conservancy's AONB
Officer.
One of the groups who have been providing
volunteers for over fifteen years are the
Friends of Chichester Harbour. They organise a
variety of weekly work parties from tree
planting to helping with mail outs. Recently
surveyed volunteers describe their
experience as 'fulfilling', 'worthwhile' and
'enjoyable'. Other groups include the
Friends of Nore Barn Woods, Chichester
Conservation Volunteers and Chichester District
Archaeology Society. The factsheets will be kept
updated with details of activities
offered, equipment and skills needed and contact
details.
The pack also includes lots of useful information
including maps, telephone numbers and
guidance on health and safety. The pack has been
produced with funding from the
Heritage Lottery Fund as part of the Chichester
Harbour Rhythms of the Tide project.
The packs are presented in a colourful folder and
are available free of charge from the
Harbour Office. To receive a copy please
contact Nicky Horter on 01243 512301.

GREENSHANK:
THE MIGRATION STORY
An innovative new website has been
launched today to trace the migration story of
the Greenshank. These elegant wading birds spend
part of their year in Chichester Harbour but
exactly where they go for the rest of the year is
not known. This website will not only follow
their story but aims to forge links between
birdwatchers, communities and schools on the
migration path.
The site is at www.greenshank.info and is packed
with information on and pictures of Greenshank.
In the section Meet the Birds, a number of birds
that have already been ringed are shown with
details of where they have been sighted. As new
sightings arrive these will be added and will
enable researchers to put together a clearer
picture of these birds habits.
The aim of the site is to raise public awareness
of the nationally and internationally important
populations of shorebirds using Chichester
Harbours. Chichester Harbour is the second most
important site in Britain for migrating
Greenshank, making these rare birds an ideal
focus for the project. Ann de Potier,
Environmental Officer at Chichester Harbour
Conservancy said 'this is an exciting project for
us, we are looking forward to not only getting to
know more about the individual birds but also
about the whole community of people who enjoy
watching these beautiful birds.'
Sightings can be submitted on-line and observers
will then be sent information about the bird they
have seen. Observers can also submit information
about themselves and the area in which they saw
the bird. This will enable the site to build up
details of the areas where the birds stay as well
enabling observers to 'get to know' each other.
An important aspect of the site is education.
Schools along the migration route will be asked
to get involved so that they to can form links. A
dedicated schools section provides curriculum
links with the project and also a host of
downloadable activities. Children are also
encouraged to get involved by submitting their
artwork, poems or stories relating to Greenshank
for inclusion on the site.
The site has been jointly developed by Chichester
Harbour Conservancy and Farlington Ringing Group
with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

HARBOUR BUS SERVICE STARTS
The
Chichester Harbour bus service starts again on
the 25th March. The bus provides a link
between the towns of Chichester and Havant with
many of the harbour villages and marinas.
Service 57 runs Saturday, Sundays and bank
holidays throughout the summer months. Many of
the
passengers last year used it as a 'tour bus' to
see the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is
also a
useful service for walkers, yachtsmen and
residents.
This year a timetable leaflet containing discount
vouchers is available for bus users. The vouchers
entitle
users of Service 57 to half price entry to the
Sussex Falconry Centre, a free glass of wine at
The Blue Bell,
Emsworth, a free tea or coffee at The Captain's
Table, Bosham and 50p off a trip onboard the
Solar Heritage
from Emsworth. Timetable leaflets are available
at tourist offices or on-line at www.conservancy.co.uk.
Philip Couchman, AONB Manager says 'the
Conservancy supports the Harbour Bus service as
it is an ideal
way for people to see and access this beautiful
area without a car'.
Service 57 is run by Stagecoach Buses in
conjunction with Chichester Harbour Conservancy.
It is supported
by the Heritage Lottery Fund.

DETAILS
OF SHORT TERM SCHEME TO PROTECT EAST HEAD
SUBMITTED TO PLANNERS
A scheme for the short term protection of East
Head to ‘hold the line’ whilst a long
term solution is found has been submitted for
planning approval. It involves the recycling of
13 thousand cubic metres of sand and shingle from
the northern tip of East Head back to where it
originally came from in the Hinge.
The sand and shingle will be placed both in front
of and behind the existing rock berm, which will
remain in place. It will have the effect of
sealing the eroded gap in the dunes to a depth of
over 2 metres above the rocks. This will ensure
continued access to East Head at all states of
the tide and will help maintain the status quo
until a long term solution to protect East Head
can be implemented. The recycling operation may
need to be repeated if a start to a long term
solution is delayed.
It is hoped that planning permission will be
forthcoming by the middle of May and that work
can start on site immediately thereafter.
In the long term, it will be important that any
scheme maintains and protects the special
qualities of East Head as a significant sand dune
feature and to prevent the adverse impacts that
its loss may have on the wider harbour. The goals
of the Chichester Harbour Conservancy are to
ensure that the evolution of East Head does not:
prejudice navigation by causing sedimentation in
the navigable channels.
result in the loss of the sheltered anchorage and
shelter provided to small vessels in the
Chichester channel.
contribute to increased erosion of existing
fragile footpaths.
result in the loss of amenity value of East Head
for walkers, bathers etc as currently provided by
the dune system.
result in the net loss of important habitats.
The Conservancy will be informing and advising
the Steering Group, that is responsible for
producing the Coastal Defence Strategy, of these
long term goals and of its commitment to finding
a sustainable and cost effective solution to the
problems at East Head.

Master - Lt Col John Davis RM on 01243 512301.

SAVE EAST HEAD LEAFLET DISTRIBUTED
Chichester Harbour Conservancy has produced an
informative four page leaflet regarding the
issues faced at East Head. Titled 'Save East
Head, Chichester Harbour at Risk', the leaflet
explains why it is essential that the public
become involved with the campaign to protect this
fragile habitat.
25,000 copies will be distributed to all harbour
users and throughout the local communities
starting on 17 January. John Davis, Manager &
Harbour Master said 'it is very important that
everyone that loves and benefits from East Head
keeps themselves informed on the campaigns
progress. This can easily be done by registering
on the Conservancy's website'.
The leaflet explains that when appropriate the
public will be called on for support. To ensure
that everyone is kept informed, it is requested
that they register for further information on the
Conservancy website www.conservancy.co.uk.
The Chichester

A RESPONSE TO ENGLISH
NATURE'S PROPOSED SCHEME FOR EAST HEAD
The article
published in the Chichester Observer last week
explained English Nature's proposal for
protecting East Head in a sustainable way.
The partnership working towards finding a
solution to the East Head issue, wish to
emphasise that, whilst the proposal may be
promising, much further work is required to
ensure that it is workable and fundable. This
further work will be undertaken as part of the
the review of the Coastal Defence Strategy and
further work currently being commissioned by the
Chichester Harbour Conservancy. It is
expected to be released for public consultation
in the Spring 2005.

Three
Harbours Beef Farm Walk
Three Harbours Beef in conjunction with
Chichester Harbour Conservancy are hosting a Farm
Walk. The event will be held on Sunday 23 October
at Tournerbury Farm, Hayling Island.
Three Harbours Beef is a recently set up scheme
for local farmers. The direct sales scheme
encourages farmers to keep their beef cows on the
coastal grazing marshes of Chichester, Pagham and
Langstone Harbours. This protects the habitat and
keeps it the right condition for a variety of
rare birds and mammals such as lapwings and water
voles. The resulting high quality beef is
processed locally and sold direct to the public.
The Farm Walk, which is supported by the Heritage
Lottery Fund, will give the public a chance to
see a working farm. Staff from Chichester Harbour
Conservancy will be on hand to talk about the
management of this special habitat and how to
preserve the delicate balance between farming and
wildlife. The farmer will provide information on
beef farming on the coastal marshes and the Three
Harbours Beef Scheme. Two walks will be led at 11:30am
and 1:30pm. Walks of ½ hour or one hour will be
available. Representatives from the RSPB and
Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust will
also be at the event.
All walkers will be entered into a free raffle to
win a box of beef. Beef will also be available to
purchase on the day at promotional prices.
Barbequed beef burgers and sausages will be on
sale at lunchtime. There is no charge for the
walk but all places must be booked in advance.
Please contact Nicky Chequer on 01243 607243 or e-mail
threeharboursbeef@yahoo.co.uk. Directions and
walk information will be sent out by return.
Please note that no dogs are allowed to the event.
Although the walk is not suitable for
wheelchairs, all are welcome to attend the event
and use the other facilities on offer.
