Goodbye to an old friend?


 

This week I have a lot to share with you, starting with a couple of charitable plugs: on the 16th it is Stonepillow’s Big Sleepout. As regular readers will know, they help the homeless and are one of the local charities CDC works with. The day after the Big Sleepout, Parent and Carers Support Organisation are celebrating their 21st birthday with a charitable ball.


In other news, The Blacksmiths in Donnington is going to be turned into a house, Chichester may see some new store openings following the closure of New Look, a new street market is coming to the City and wonders from around the world will be presented in half a million LEGO® bricks at an exciting new exhibition coming to The Novium Museum this December.


Good news for our District: over 8000 trees will be planted this winter and Lurgashall was wrongly identified by MyLondon as being in East Sussex when it was voted one of the best places in Britain to live.


CDC are taking action to protect green spaces in the City from unauthorised vehicles while West Sussex have abolished County Local Committees and Joint Area Committees and are replacing them with County Local Forums which will be based on local Borough or District council areas


This coming week I have the monthly catch-up with Senior CDC Officers and a meeting of the Strategic risk Group. Donna has a quieter week for planned meetings, although casework for residents continues. Donna is also the driving force behind  Selsey Totally Locally. So look out for the posters appearing in some of our shops and businesses.


And finally: -


As always, from the whole Team, stay safe.


Tim
