This Community Strategy, prepared by ‘Adur in Partnership’, begins to answer these questions based on the views and aspirations of local people. WHY DO WE NEED A COMMUNITY STRATEGY? The Local Government Act 2000 gave local authorities, for the first time, the power and duty to prepare a Community Strategy. This will promote the economic, environmental and social well- being of their areas and contribute to the achievement of sustainable development in the UK. In Adur, the Community Strategy is being prepared by ‘Adur in Partnership’, which is made up of public, private, voluntary and community organisations. Community planning, the process of producing and implementing a Community Strategy, represents a new approach to meeting the challenges facing Adur. It is not only about producing a jointly agreed strategy for the future, but also about developing new ways of working between organisations and involving local people to address local issues. It provides the opportunity to tackle key community priorities together. This will in turn shape the objectives and actions in other strategies and plans to ensure that they are ‘joined up’, making the links between, for example, reducing crime, improving health and education and providing better housing, jobs and improving the environment. The Government has made it clear that future funding of public services may depend on being able to demonstrate that key agencies are working in partnership to tackle those issues of most concern to the local community. 2 WHAT WILL THE COMMUNITY STRATEGY DO? Based on detailed statistical evidence and consultation it highlights the issues, which are important for those who live and work in Adur in 2003. It is the important first step in identifying the actions that need to be taken in order to improve the well-being of people in Adur. Crucially, it identifies who can make these things happen and how. The Strategy is not a comprehensive statement of all the actions to be taken by all the partners. Rather it will concentrate on where joint or co-ordinated action by the partners can make the most difference. Individual partners will continue to provide and develop their services for the people of Adur, but guided in the future by the aims and priorities in the Community Strategy. The Community Strategy will be regularly updated to reflect changing community priorities. 3 A DISTRICT OF CONTRASTS A Snapshot The majority of people are happy living in Adur. ◆ Adur has the Crime is lower than the national average, it has a second highest rate of homeless people good clean enironment with close proximity to deemed to be in priority need in West the areas of Brighton and Worthing.

  • Urban People and Wildlife : Biodiversity Action Plan for the Urban Areas of Sussex
    Habitat Action Plan for Sussex Urban People and Wildlife : Biodiversity Action Plan for the Urban Areas of Sussex 1. Introduction and Definition One of the most urgent environmental problems we are facing in the 21 st Century is the loss of global biodiversity. As 90% of the population live in cities, towns and villages, it is here that this loss will have the most impact on our quality of life. The increasing density and the intensity of urban living has a major impact on the environment and our use of natural resources. Although we are part of the problem, we are also part of the solution. People and Wildlife : Biodiversity Action Plan for the Urban Areas of Sussex sets out the action necessary to maintain and enhance the variety of life all around us. The underlying principle of People and Wildlife (Sussex Urban BAP) is that a healthy environment is an essential requirement for both our quality of life and for wildlife. We can achieve this through changing our attitudes and actions towards the natural environment within our everyday lives by: • Encouraging everyone to make environmentally informed decisions as our actions can and do affect the environment; • Looking at actions we can take as individuals or as members of a community based group, part of a school or college, employer or employee of a business or as decision-makers who help shape local policies; • Recognising that biodiversity is an essential indicator of the health of the environment and hence our quality of life. The Government has made clear the links between biodiversity, quality of life and sustainable development.

Increasing levels of walking and cycling - particularly for shorter journeys, or as part of a longer journey - will help to tackle poor air quality, which can cause or exacerbate respiratory diseases such as asthma, and tackle health problems linked with sedentary living thereby reducing NHS costs. Reducing traffic congestion will also have a positive impact on our economy as less time will be spent stuck in traffic and make West Sussex a more attractive place to live and do business. It is therefore important that we recognise walking and cycling as a key part of the transport mix, making improvements that promote these modes as the natural choice for shorter journeys. The West Sussex Walking and Cycling Strategy is designed to complement the Government’s emerging Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy and sets out the County Council’s aims and objectives for walking and cycling together with our priorities for investment in infrastructure improvements.

Working with business, Government and society as a whole, we are making your environment cleaner and healthier. The Environment Agency. Out there, making your environment a better place.

This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. Environment Agency ii River Adur Catchment Flood Management Plan (September 2008) Foreword I am pleased to be able to introduce the River Adur Catchment Flood Management Plan. Past flood events remind us of the hardship that flooding can cause, especially in the built environment. They also reveal the challenges we face when confronted by the forces of nature. Our aim is to reduce the risk to people, property and the environment. We do this by taking action to manage and reduce the likelihood and consequences of flooding. This is known as ‘flood risk management’. This plan will allow us to understand and describe how the catchment behaves and what the most sustainable flood risk management policies may be over the next 50 to 100 years. We can then use this direction to plan the most acceptable measures to manage flood risk for the long term.

The records which form the basis for this work were made by the dedicated fieldwork of the members of the Sussex Botanical Recording Society (SBRS), The Botanical Society of the British Isles (BSBI), the British Bryological Society (BBS), The British Lichen Society (BLS) and other keen enthusiasts. This data is held by the nominated County Recorders. The Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre (SxBRC) compiled the tables of the Sussex rare Bryophytes and Lichens.

    WILDLIFE DIARY AND NEWS FOR DECEMBER 26 - JANUARY 1 (WEEK 52 OF 2016) Sun 1st January My New Year's Day finds include flowering Cow Parsley, White Comfrey, Goat Willow and the first Camellia flowers, plus a Heron on a nest and my first Common Gull at Langstone. Stepping out into my garden before having my breakfast to scatter bread for the birds the first thing I heard after Robin song was the drumming of the Great Spotted Woodpecker a little way up the Billy Trail but the only flower to be seen in the garden was the bright yellow Winter Jasmine. After breakfast I set out on a four hour local walk which gave me a list of 42 flowering plant species but only 28 birds. My first flowering plant worth a mention was Pellitory of the Wall in Beechworth Road but Bellair Road gave me better tick with my first Camellia in flower. Back on the Emsworth Road I headed for the grounds of White Ladies to tick the flowers on a young Strawberry Tree before walking back to Lymbourne Road for the Hazel tree whose catkins have started to open. Just before reaching Lymbourne Road the pavement of Emsworth Road has an interesting 'double kerb' resulting in a narrow strip of pavement nearest to the road being lower than the broad pavement used by pedestrians and this allows small plants to grow on the lower strip without fear of being trampled by human feet - today I noticed that this lower strip has a good population of Common Whitlowgrass plants and should soon give me the first flowers of that species.
