23/03/2012 - Mobile Waste Service in Pulborough
After two years of operating, HDC have decided to withdraw parts of the Horsham mobiles waste service from April
2012. The service which operates in car parks in Steyning, Henfield, Pulborough and Storrington was introduced two
years ago after widespread consultation. This consisted of a quarterly “Gobbler” service for general
waste, a twice-weekly service for green waste and some bulky white goods such as cookers and washing machines.
Analysis of usage shows that the green waste and white goods service have not been as well supported as hoped and
this means the cost of the service can no longer be justified. HDC appreciate that the “Gobbler”
service is valued and have committed to continue this in 2012/13 operating in Pulborough on Saturday 16th June
2012, 22nd September 2012, 15th December 2012 and 16th March 2013.

West Sussex – Better Connected and its private sector partners will be working to provide access to
broadband in all parts of the County by April 2015 and access to superfast broadband to 90% of premises by the
same date. This means that by April 2012, every house and business will have the opportunity to connect to the
internet via broadband using a commercial supplier. West Sussex – Better Connected are now encouraging all
residents and business in West Sussex to register support for faster broadband online at www.westsussex-betterconnected.org.uk. Registering your support
does not commit you to sign up to any new service. Communities that demonstrate the strongest support are likely
to be included in the earlier stages of the Broadband Improvement Programme.
