@ArunDistrict Have pedestrianised Pier Road....

[The Pier Road Diaries @pier_road]

@ArunDistrict As usual, your entirely unsuitable bins along the river walkway are empyting their contents, plastic, debris into the river and sea. For the past decade I have asked you to consider installing suitable bins here, and you don't. You as a council are responsible for littering.

Beautiful morning here in #Littlehampton

We should never underestimate the wonderful work done by the staff and volunteers including fundraisers at St Barnabas House.

[St Barnabas House @StBarnabasHouse]

Our 20 bed In-patient Unit is made up of five wings and provides symptom control, respite care and end of life care.

Each wing also has its own lounge area that can be used by patients, families and visitors providing a calm place to relax, chat and rest.

Beady kindly volunteers her time to transform the children into their favourite superhero or animal with face paint. A huge thank you to Beady for attending all our events this summer, providing magical memories for all the children 🎨💛

[St Barnabas House @StBarnabasHouse]

Here at St Barnabas House we care for local people with life-shortening illnesses both in the hospice and in the comfort of their own home.

Take a look at what it is like when you first arrive at the hospice...

My treat earlier. 🍦 Mixed vanilla and strawberry ice cream with chopped nuts and a flake. We have wonderful ice cream here in Littlehampton! Especially from River Breeze cafe. @pier_road #littlehampton @vi5itLa @DaysoutinE

Looking forward to a nice paddle along #Littlehampton beach tonight as the tide is on the way out. Lucky to be living by the sea with a lovely clean beach.

Awful - keep an eye for this gentleman’s bike. Let’s hope glhe gets it back.

Maritime Volunteer Service is currently in #Littlehampton harbour. Say hello if you’re passing to these lovely enthusiastic gentlemen.

[YCPKingston @YCPKingston]

Today we gave the young Carers a bit of a break with a little bit of scones making. Of course we made sure to have plenty of Strawberry Jam. (The best sort of Jam!)

[The Pier Road Diaries @pier_road]

Fantastic work by our local police officers. When my shop was burgled some years ago in Pier Road, Sussex police identified and caught the burglar who got a custodial sentence. Hope the owners of D&D cycles get back on their feet quickly.

[The Pier Road Diaries @pier_road]

@DerrickChester1 I was told this a decade ago by a number of disgruntled WSCC social workers who left in disgust. Why has it taken so long for this to come to light? Clearly, because the problem is now so great it can no longer be denied/ignored. Will anyone be held accountable?

[Amberley Museum @amberley_museum]

We need you! Volunteers make a huge contribution to all areas of our Museum in a wide range of diverse roles. Without the time given to us by our volunteers, we would simply not exist. Contact our Museum office for more information on volunteering on 01798 831370.

The only thing that hasn’t been changed in Arun today is next week’s bin collections.

[Arun District Council @ArunDistrict]

There will be no change to refuse and recycling collections over this bank holiday.

[The Pier Road Diaries @pier_road]

@DerrickChester1 Yes, Derrick.
Very informative.
Many thanks as always.
