Work starts on oyster bed study

03/02/2008 by admin.

Emsworth Museum’s first special exhibition for the 2008 season will focus on initial results of this unique project the first exhibition to be held in the Rudkin Room for the museum’s 2008 summer season will feature the initial results of the research and field work undertaken for this special project. The official opening will be Saturday during Easter weekend.  The Trust in partnership with the  Chichester and District Archaeological Society has started work on a unique study into the history of Emsworth oyster beds. “This is an exciting opportunity to find out more about the oyster industry based in Emsworth over hundred  years ago” said John Tweddell, the project co-coordinator “We hope to gain a better understanding of how it changed from a successful business in the 19th century to its collapse in the early 20th century.” After winning funding from the Chichester Harbour Sustainable Development Fund, the project will cover both research into the records held by the museum and field work on the site itself. Training for the volunteers who are undertaking the field work element of the project took place in early December 2007.  In January and February this year the team are undertaking the work involved in mapping the beds and looking at evidence to help us understand their construction.

Emsworth Community Board AGM

04/01/2008 by admin.

Emsworth Needs You Would you like to have a say in the future development of Emsworth? Would you like to be consulted on the planning and monitoring of services provided by Havant Borough Council and Hampshire County Council?

 If so, you could be one of the five people who live, work or study in Emsworth that we would like to welcome as new members of the Emsworth  Community Board (ECB) at the AGM to be held on Thursday 24th April 2008. Everyone is welcome but we would especially like to be joined by one or two young people. The ECB comprises 15 people and holds a public meeting to review local issues in the evening of the second Thursday of each month at the Emsworth Community Centre. Its members are part of small focus groups which review planning applications and monitor environmental, transport and community issues and liaise with council officers on such matters. One of these groups has been monitoring litter and graffiti problems and liaising with HBC to ensure they are dealt with promptly. Another has been conducting a detailed audit of the key roads and paths around Emsworth and will be presenting a comprehensive report to provide safe and easy routes for pedestrians, cyclists, wheelchair users and the disabled. The ECB was established in 2004 to represent the views of the community and to work towards improving the quality of life in Emsworth. It played a major role in selecting and supporting recent major projects such as the Skate Park, Memorial Sculpture and  Memorial Garden in Jubilee Park and the many improvements to the A259 pedestrian underpass and its access route from Palmers Road car park. If you are interested in supporting our efforts, or would like to know more about them, please contact me by phone 01243 431615 or Email: steve.pearce@btinternet.com
