These policies need to be based on a thorough understanding of local needs for such facilities and opportunities available for new provision. 1.2 In view of the above, in 2019 Adur & Worthing Councils appointed Ethos Environmental Planning to review a joint study completed in 2014 to provide an up-to-date and robust assessment identifying needs, surpluses and deficits in open space, sport and recreation to support the Local Plans. 1.3 The two councils have separate local plans; this study will assist Worthing Borough in the preparation of a new plan and will support the implementation of the Adur Local Plan which was adopted in 2017. The study will also inform the Council’s asset management process, health and well-being plans and its investments and infrastructure funding process. 1.4 In summary the requirements of the brief are to provide: A comprehensive Open Space Assessment, Indoor/Built Sports Facilities Needs Assessment that represents an update to the existing (2014) assessment.

  • Chair's Report to C20 Southern Region AGM – 28 March 2021
    Chair’s Report to C20 Southern Region AGM – 28 March 2021 Introduction At our AGM in February 2020 we were looking forward to another programme of outdoor meetings and events. Things changed so quickly from that date and everything very quickly moved online. I hope members have been able to join the many and varied Zoom events organised by C20 Head Office. More recently our Group has been working with the South West and West Groups to host a series of online events – our first on Seaside Architecture to be followed on 28th March (the day after our AGM) by a session on Ecclesiastical Building. We were pleased to have 65+ people attend the Seaside Architecture session. Future Programme We will be guided by C20 Head Office as to when we can resume outdoor events and the format these may need to take including numbers. These were the plans we had for 2020 and would seem to be a good basis to plan our next schedule subject to discussion with the original hosts: Hooke Park, near Beaminster and Briantspuddle (model village) with Mike Henderson (access to this event would be by car as no public transport serves these locations) Christchurch, Dorset Emsworth, West Sussex with Paul Underhill Woking, Surrey with Caroline Martin and Pauline Mousley Brighton with David Robson Potential Event on Hampshire Schools Others to consider: Shute House Garden, Shaftesbury, Wiltshire, 1969 – Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe A return to Poundbury – trip to be organised jointly with the South West Region Expanding the Committee The existing officers of the committee are proposing that we expand the committee to a total of six that means we have three vacancies to fill.

  • 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).
