Underground Sussex Growing the Value of Tourism in West Sussex
Underground Sussex Growing the value of tourism in West Sussex A report identifying options for delivering tourism growth through collaboration for the Coastal West Sussex Partnership Underground Sussex Growing the value of tourism in West Sussex 1 Executive Summary The areas covered by Coastal West Sussex (CWS) are tourism destinations with a positive future. They hold assets that tourists believe to be great and there is a rich variety of events, festivals, attractions and experiences that are highly valued by visitors from around the UK and overseas. However they could and should do better. Their rich natural and cultural assets and their proximity to London and the South East, mean there is potential for tourism to grow further, contributing more jobs and greater economic impact to the Coastal West Sussex area. Local partners should aim for tourism growth in the Coastal West Sussex area to exceed that expected in the UK over the next four years. This should be done by generating new demand and creating year- round visitor flows, reducing the seasonal imbalance that currently restricts growth in the local visitor economy. A summary vision for the partnership could be ‘Driving more staying visitors to explore Coastal West Sussex throughout the year’. This growth should be achieved through changes to the pattern of tourism that include: • Converting day to staying visitors; • Delivering higher yield business tourism; • Achieving a better seasonal balance of business; • Establishing events to plug seasonal gaps; • Focusing on higher socio-economic groups from source markets; and • Attracting more international visitors (day from London as well as staying). -

Project Title: East Worthing FAS – Teville Stream Hydraulic Study Project Number: IMSO001181 Project Stage: Initial Assessment Environment Agency Project Manager: Contact Details for EAPM: Address: Telephone: E-mail: BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM: The Teville Stream lies within the town of Worthing, West Sussex. The River Adur Catchment Flood Management Plan (Capita Symonds, 2008) identified possible areas of flood risk, but did not carry out broadscale modelling of the catchment and instead based it’s assessment of risk on the Flood Zone maps. The CFMP states that the current baseline is insufficient to appropriately determine fluvial flood risk within the system. This project seeks to accurately determine the level of fluvial flood risk within the Teville Stream catchment area. The catchment is densely populated with much of the upper area being culverted and integrated with the surface water of the town. The semi-natural part of the upper watercourse is not very well defined, having several tributary streams and agricultural drainage channels. The main channel is a mixture of culverts and open sections, running under and alongside a pharmaceutical works, an industrial estate, historic landfill sites, a public amenity tip and a sewage works, finally emerging in an open channel which enters Brooklands Lake, a public leisure facility/boating lake occupying the area of the former tidal basin. This freshwater lake is maintained artificially by a terminal control structure at the seaward end, which drains into the sea after passing under the A259 seafront road. Flow from the north is augmented by runoff from the A27 highway and is discharged from a retention structure constructed on one of the tributaries. -
TARRING FLOOD ACTION GROUP Rain Garden Proposals
Active Community Fund GRANT APPLICATION FORM Section D: Your funding application Community Group Tarring Flood Action Group SuDs retro solutions to surface water flooding Project Title recommendations from earlier Feasibility study. Description of issues, needs and/or initiatives Within the West Tarring Conservation Area (See attached supplementary paper -map Appendix 1) there are a number of areas that large amounts of water collects on a regular basis, and more importantly, there have been a number of occasions in the recent past (2000, 2012) when flash floods have badly affected the area, resulting in flooding of, and damage to, a number of residential and commercial properties. Tarring High Street, in the conservation area, has had several floods in recent years and old buildings at the south end of the street and at the north end of South Street / Priory Close have suffered in particular. Following discussions at a TFAG Multi-Agency Meeting, the general consensus is that the floods were caused by a number of contributing factors:- • Climate Change impacting on localised intensity of rainfall • An inability of the network of drains and gullies to cope with heavy downpour events • Blocked drains and gullies • An aging, predominantly combined, surface water and sewage system • Discharge of roof water directly on to pavements/roads • Bow-wave surges caused by uncontrolled through-traffic • The influence of the Teville Stream and its confluence with Broadwater Brook, although this factor is subject to debate. • The lack of empirical data on problem areas of pooling and flooding in the Worthing area. • The dominance of a hard landscape and the lack of any ‘natural’ means of absorbing excessive rainwater before it can develop into flooding. -
Beach Recharge in Sussex & East Kent
BEACH RECHARGE IN SUSSEX & EAST KENT: A PRELIMINARY INVENTORY & OVERVIEW Compiled by R. Williams, edited by C. Moses. Not to be quoted without permission 1 Introduction .......................................................................................................................1 2 Inventory of beach recharge schemes ..............................................................................5 3 Notes and sources ............................................................................................................9 4 Conclusion ......................................................................................................................17 5 References......................................................................................................................21 1 Introduction Sand and shingle are being lost from many beaches in Sussex and Kent as a result of natural coastal processes as well as ill-designed sea defence and coastal protection schemes. To counteract falling beach levels, the Environment Agency and local authorities are increasingly resorting to “topping-up” the beaches with additional sand and shingle. Several terms are currently employed to refer to the artificial provision of extra beach material, but there is disagreement about their precise definition. For the purpose of this report, beach nourishment (or beach replenishment) is defined as the supply of material that has been dredged from the seabed or extracted from inland sand and gravel pits. Beach recycling is defined as the removal -

The ‘competitions’ announced via the mailing list have been successful in bringing in new contributors. I have held over the submissions for ‘silly bird photographs’ and ‘epic twitches’ until the next edition so if you sent me something you will not be left out. This issue includes the competitions for ‘best day’s birding’ and the ‘furthest collared dove’. Perhaps naming winners is slightly invidious so I will just point out that the first competition was called ‘best day’s birding’ and I will leave it to the readership to make a judgement. This ‘competition’, though, produced four really interesting entries so I will rename it ‘great birding experience(s)’ and I will make a call for further entries nearer the next publication date. I hope more members will join in to offer these short pieces in the future. Finally a note about the large ringing tables in the articles by John Newnham and Val Bentley. These contain a lot of information and are difficult to reproduce in an A5 publication. -
