As you know, from time to time we have experienced various 'emergencies' in Bolney - usually the result of adverse weather - but they could take many forms in the future.  These could include major emergencies on the A23, fires, plane crashes etc.  

Whilst the emergency services will, of course, be the first line of support, there may be occasions where we have to be more self-reliant, particularly in the early stages of an emergency.

The plan is that in the event of an emergency, Parish Councillors would take on the roles of ' Local Emergency Coordinators' to try and get help to where it is needed most in their part of the village.

The Parish Council wishes to establish what resources may be available within the community of Bolney, in the event of a local emergency and would be grateful for your co-operation in completing the following questionnaire.  

Please also let us know if you/members of your household have special needs.

Below are a number of areas considered important to such an emergency plan and residents are asked to consider what help they (or members of their household) may be able to give, in the event of such an emergency. Please tick the box, as appropriate, against each item listed - together with a text of other help you can give; and finally your name, address and telephone number. Then click on "Submit" or if necessary, reset to start again.

Under the Data Protection Act, you should be aware that the information you provide will be shared - in times of crisis - with the Parish Council and may also be shared with others, as the Parish Council deems appropriate.  

The coordinator can be contacted by email on emergency-plans@bolney.com.
