and its mobile tip
Welcome to this week’s blog - as always, thanks for having a read.
There is growing excitement at school about the World Cup with high hopes for England who play their first match this week. During the tournament you can report any safety concerns you may have by visiting West Sussex County Council's report problems in your area webpage. Here, you can report incidents of hate crime or any situation which may cause unrest or raise fear or anxiety in the community. In addition, the Council’s WORTH Services team is supporting Sussex Police with visits to people identified as being at the highest risk of domestic abuse.
On Tuesday Donna went to Chichester District Council’s Cabinet meeting which agreed to release funds of £2 million for urgent sea defence repairs for the West Beach area in Selsey, to help protect homes in Selsey and the Witterings. In the evening I collected her from a StonePillow meeting, then on Wednesday, she and Val had CDC'S Planning Committee which included a Housing Delivery Statement Report, and applications from Loxwood and Wisborough Green. Donna went on to help with a Q&A meeting for new County Councillors at County Hall. That evening, Mick, Val, Andrew...
and Ian had Selsey Town Council’s Planning Committee, whilst Donna and I went to Sidlesham Parish Council. They discussed several things including LGR and the roof of Sidlesham Memorial Hall. They also had an update from Dr. Lesley Bromley from the Manhood Wildlife and Heritage Group on progress, one year on, with the work they have been doing on part of the wildlife corridor next to the B2145 in Sidlesham.
Cllr Brookes-Harmer, Lavant (Independent) has joined our group at CDC and will have my seat on Licensing, when Council agree in July, and join Donna and Val on Overview and Scrutiny.
Next week Donna has West Sussex County Council’s Governance Committee on Monday which she now chairs (as Chair of the Council.) Amongst other things, it will consider some constitutional changes, appoint a chair of the Electoral Review Panel and fill vacancies on the Member Development Group. At CDC, our Green colleague, Sarah Sharp, represents our Group for the first
time on their Environment Panel. On Wednesday evening the whole team has the next Full Selsey Town Council meeting which includes considering the Annual Governance and Accountability Review, reviewing the Council’s current financial position and several policy documents, and evaluating the case for STC having a Mayor.
On Thursday Donna has Chichester District Council’s Growth & Registration Board in the morning, so I will unfortunately miss it as I will be teaching, then is joined by Val in the afternoon for CDC’s Development Planning and Infrastructure Panel.
You can watch CDC meetings here and watch WSCC meetings here.
