Who can guess why the December Messy Church has changed to earlier in the month than usual? This question is for children or anyone who feels eligible to go to Messy Church!
Gatwick Airport has recently started a consultation, which the Parish Council will be responding to, on the introduction of a new way of making sure aircraft follow as closely as possible the departure routes they are required to keep to after they take off from the airport.
The new system is called P-RNAV (Precision Area Navigation) This is a navigation system that enables a track of keeping accuracy of +/- 1 nautical mile compared with +/- 5 nautical miles which is the next best standard. P-RNAV will mean that the dispersion of departing aircraft will become more concentrate than before ( until they are at 4,000 feet and can be vectored by Air Traffic Control as is current operational practice) with the result that some residents will be overflown less, while others will be overflown more and therefore the noise impact will be redistributed. Members of the public can view documents and take part in the consultation on
The Parish Council has been informed that the result of the Inquiry will be announced on Monday 15th October.
At the time of writing we understand that the Capel Post Office will be signing an agreement with the Post Office to change to the new Post Office Local service as from the beginning of October. It is hoped that in the interim some arrangement can be reached which keeps the Post Office open in its current premises.
Post Office Local is a new concept for delivering post Office services from premises of an established outlet. The service will operate from a newly formatted open plan counter that will offer a wide range of Post Office services alongside retail transactions. The Carters store will offer a large selection of convenience products and Post Office customers will benefit from extended opening hours including Saturday afternoon and earlier opening times throughout the week (Monday to Saturday 7:00am to 7:00pm) The Post Office will close on Sundays.
Joining in with hundreds of peals of bells throughout the kingdom, Capel helped start the Olympics with a joyous sound when they rang at 8:10am on Friday, July 27th.

The Parish Council is dismayed at the lack of facilities that Surrey Highways has access to in terms of keeping the parish road gullies in working order. Many of the gullies in The Street and Vicarage Lane, Capel and elsewhere in the Parish, are blocked and have been so for several months despite having been logged several times on the SCC Call Centre and website. The Parish Council has written to the Surrey County Council Local committee asking for funds to be made available for further investment in gully emptying and Jetta equipment to stop the continuous streams of water flooding down our roads.
