  • To Tread Lightly on the Earth and Reduce the Environmental Load in My Local Community
    Sidlesham Litter Pickers – the results of litter picking around my village in West Sussex, UK Conference for Global Transformation 2021, Landmark Education – Measuring Accomplishment by Gayle Palmer My global commitment: To tread lightly on the Earth and reduce the environmental load in my local community. Sidlesham is the largest Parish in West Sussex and wholly rural 17.53 km2 (6.77 sq mi). It is on the Manhood Peninsula, five kilometres (3 miles) south of Chichester in the Chichester District of West Sussex, England. It has a population of under 2,000 in just 448 households. It has one main road going through it from Chichester to the small town of Selsey and various small lanes which cross the Peninsula. Primarily agricultural, it also has a large horticultural use and it bounded by two harbours (both SSSI’s, AONB’s (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and of National importance for their flora and fauna). In 46AD the Romans landed in Pagham Harbour and the Saxon Aella landed along the Keynor rife near the site of the present village school in 477AD. St Wilfred is considered to have landed in Pagham Harbour at Church Norton. Street End Lane follows the line of a Roman Road and there are the remains of a Roman villa at Bird Pond. Sidlesham is recorded in the Domesday Book and the Normans built part of the present church in 1200AD. https://www.sidlesham.org/about/sidlesham-history/ I began litter picking in 2017 after my standard poodle had several cut paws, in March 2018 I started to measure what I collected as the amounts were shocking! To keep track I started the Facebook group #SidleshamLitterPickers.

We are not part of government or any political party. We are accountable to Parliament through a committee of MPs chaired by the Speaker of the House of Commons. Our main role is to carry out electoral reviews of local authorities throughout England. Electoral review An electoral review examines and proposes new electoral arrangements for a local authority. A local authority’s electoral arrangements decide: How many councillors are needed How many wards or electoral divisions should there be, where are their boundaries and what should they be called How many councillors should represent each ward or division Why Chichester? We are conducting an electoral review of Chichester District Council following a request by the Council in order to consider a reduction in council size. Our proposals for Chichester Chichester should be represented by 36 councillors, 12 fewer than at present. Chichester should have 21 wards, eight fewer than now The boundaries of all of the existing wards should change Have your say We are consulting on our draft recommendations for an eight-week period, from 16 August 2016 to 10 October 2016.

    Selsey Town Council 55 High Street, Selsey, West Sussex, PO20 0RB Review Officer (Chichester) Local Government Boundary Commission for England 14th Floor Millbank Tower Millbank LONDON SW1P 4QP 19th September 2016 Dear Sirs ELECTORAL REVIEW OF CHICHESTER: DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS Further to your correspondence of 16th August 2016, Selsey Town Council has considered the draft recommendations pertaining to electoral arrangements for Selsey parish at its Full Council meeting of 14th September 2016. The LGBCE’s comments that Selsey is already warded under the current electoral arrangements and whilst acknowledging the concerns about warding the north area of Selsey with Sidlesham that their tour of the area had confirmed that the two parishes share reasonable road links were noted. The Boundary Commission advised that they were therefore adopting the two‐ member wards of Selsey South and Sidlesham with Selsey North as part of their draft recommendations. The draft recommendations were discussed by Selsey Town Council with the Members in general accord that the proposals would disadvantage Sidlesham parish through weight of numbers and that the two communities had totally different issues and priorities and would not therefore be adequately represented by one shared District Councillor. We also consider that the proposal fails to meet the Commission’s own key criteria, namely “That the pattern of wards should, as far as possible, reflect the interests and identities of local communities.” It was therefore resolved that STC request the withdrawal of the Local Government Boundary Commission England’s draft recommendation to link Sidlesham and Selsey North into one ward as they were diverse and distinct communities.
