Burgess Hill Weekly News Round-Up
June 3rd 2006 - June 9th 2006

A Burgess Hill First

Well, why does not the council make more of something which first happened in Burgess Hill before the rest of the country? It was in the News of the World where I learnt that in 2003 Burgess Hill was the first place in Britain where an ASBO was ordered. I think Asbo House would make a charming name for the proposed new town council building.

The recipient of this first was Ricky Fitzgerald, now aged 29. The NOTW tells us that his brother Jimmy, 17, has just received one ordering to stay away from his older brother because he is a bad influence.

Not that it looks like that it looks like it would be easy to find him, anyway. Ricky is now a wanted man. He should have appeared at Lewes Crown Court on 25 May, standing trial for burglary, robbery and, aherm (cough), breaching an Anti-Social Behaviour Order.

Now, after his no-show, he is sought in connection with a theft at a Tesco Express store in Burgess Hill.

Naked Woman In Lindfield
Brighton artist, Tasmin Williams, intended riding horseback naked through Lindfield High Street to promote charity night at The Gallery. Only, disaster struck and appeals had to be made to find a back-up horse. They found one, but The Gallery owner, Nigel Ryan, said "it wasn't until we got there we realised the horse was too big." For the horsebox, actually, before you starting making your own jokes.

In a delightful attempt at spin, Nigel says, "The spectacle was the fact we didn't actually do it." There is a picture of Tasmin in the Leader. We see a naked rear view with the caption "Tasteful"!

Leylands Ward Local Action Team
For the first time ever the Leylands Ward Local Action Team have actually put a leaflet through my letterbox. Yes, a leaflet through Gill Balsdons' problem "Saunders family" letterbox. They are holding a public meeting on 13 June.

I might have gone. Only, not now. Why a leaflet now? Hell, it must be a trap! Frank Milligan, Tim Wickham and Gill Balsdon will all be there. So, I think it best if I'm not. I may be mad, but I am not masochistic.
