Welcome to this week’s blog - as always, thanks for having a read. Don't forget the RNLI's Selsey Lifeboat Week, is coming up, culminating in Lifeboat Day on Sunday 10th August, 2025.
This week Donna focused on several ongoing sensitive family issues for our residents and I popped into Selsey Town Hall a few times to try to support officers as Selsey Town Council is still understaffed. There are several projects in the pipeline we would rather were not delayed. Donna and I also had a meeting of Chichester District Council's Regeneration & Growth Board on Thursday. Although I am trying to share more about what happens in meetings, this one is confidential because we are considering commercial projects. Next week Donna and Val have Chichester District Council's Planning Committee on Wednesday while Ali, Ian, and I have our fortnightly catch-up with Selsey Town Council’s Senior Team.
You can watch meetings live: CDC and WSCC.
You may have heard that Chichester District Council has received the Planning Inspectors’ final report for the Chichester Local Plan 2021–2039, marking a significant milestone in the plan’s...
progress. The report confirms that the Government’s Planning Inspectorate consider the plan, with their recommended main modifications, to be sound, legally compliant, and ready to be considered for adoption at a Special Full CDC on 19th August, 2025.
If you are taking an interest in the current Local Government Reorganisation, the Government has published a summary of the stages involved: -
I came across an article about the best Districts for Over-50s to live in in the UK. One is in Sussex so, as in less than a year we will have a Mayor, I thought it worth including as I wonder what criteria you would use to judge which Districts are best for the Under-50s to live in, and whether anywhere in Sussex would make that top 10: -
Chichester District Council is reminding people with loved ones who have complex care needs about the fully accessible toilet facilities available in our District. Known as Changing Places toilets, the facilities are specifically designed to meet the needs of disabled children and adults with complex care needs who need the support of a carer. There are currently five Changing Places...
toilets within our District:-
Northgate Car Park, Chichester;
North Street, Midhurst;
The Selsey Centre, Selsey;
Bracklesham Barn, Bracklesham;
Westgate Leisure Centre, Chichester.
The facilities in Midhurst, Selsey and Bracklesham are the result of a funding bid submitted by Chichester District Council. The Selsey facility is managed by Selsey Town Council, while the Bracklesham facility is managed by East Wittering and Bracklesham Parish Council. The Northgate car park facility in Chichester opened in 2016, and the Midhurst facility was opened last year — both of these facilities are owned and managed by Chichester District Council, while the facility in Westgate Leisure Centre is managed by Everyone Active, which operates the leisure centre on behalf of CDC.
People wanting to use the Selsey Changing Places toilet out-of-hours are asked to contact Selsey Town Council during the working week to make arrangements for out-of-hours or weekend use, by (calling 24 hours): 01243 603836 or emailing: selseycentre@selseytowncouncil.gov.uk.
Finally: -
As always, from the whole Team, stay safe.
