Welcome to this week’s blog - as always, thanks for having a read.
Although our District is a great place to live, because it is so rural, your car, if you have one, can pick up the odd minor scratch. For me it is worsened by my clocking a lot of miles commuting inside the M25. There is a ‘cloth’ claiming to use nano technology to reinvigorate the molecules in your paintwork and remove just such scratches. On Amazon I found I could get a pack of four Nanosparkle cloths for just £8.99, so I took a punt. I have so far tried it once - they are reusable - and think it actually helped because a small scratch now looks more like a pencil line: I am not so sure about slightly larger ones so intend to try it several times to be sure.
If you like a walk, this is an interesting read about a route around Selsey which allows you to learn more about its historic buildings: -
This week Mick and Val continued their work on Selsey's Christmas lights. Mike is helping too...
when he can. Meetings included Full Selsey Town Council on Wednesday evening, preceded by Chichester District Council's Planning Committee for Donna and Val in the morning. Val and I also had CDC Licensing training (on Monday) and Donna, the Children and Young people's Scrutiny Committee at West Sussex which she was recently appointed to. Unfortunately this started one hour after CDC’s Planning Committee so Donna had to prioritise which part of each meeting she attended. Clashes are not uncommon, and they can impact us all.
Full STC agreed in principle to consider a grant application for the King Charles III England Coastal Path, via West Sussex County Council, for seating and wayfinding from the Gibbet Field to Selsey Bill. We also considered a request to install a waste bin for fishing tackle at Lifeboat Way in Selsey.
Next week Donna has West Sussex County Council’s Health and Social Care Committee on Wednesday. The week after on September 23rd are the WSCC and CDC separate decision meetings on which Unitary model they intend to support for our County: having a single Unitary or opting for two. There are briefings aplenty.
You can watch meetings live: CDC and WSCC.
Independent high street businesses that trade during the evening and night-time in our District could get a funding boost thanks to a new business grant being offered by CDC...
The new Evening and Night-time Economy Business Grant will be available to independent businesses with physical premises on high streets in Chichester, East Wittering, Midhurst, Petworth and Selsey. As well as established businesses, the grant is also aimed at businesses that have plans to start trading during the evening and night-time to help support their new enterprise.
Finally: -
As always, from the whole Team, stay safe.
