Notice of Motion from Dr O'kelly Cycling
County Council 20 July 2018 Agenda Item 6(b) - Notice of Motion from Dr O’Kelly Cycling - Briefing Note Policy Background The Government’s Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, published in 2017, includes the ambition to double levels of cycling by 2025. The West Sussex Walking and Cycling Strategy 2016-26 was adopted in October 2016 in support of the Government’s ambition. The Strategy was developed to create a pipeline of future schemes for delivery, to direct future investment in to walking and cycling (e.g. through local development) and to support bids for external funding. The Strategy contains a list of over 300 potential new walking and cycling routes suggested by a range of stakeholders which were ranked and prioritised for feasibility work. Partnership Working Cycling development will only be achieved through strong partnership working. The inaugural West Sussex Cycle Summit was held in September 2016 to officially launch the West Sussex Walking and Cycling Strategy 2016-26. The event was organised by the West Sussex Cycle Forum and held in partnership with West Sussex County Council. A second summit was held in October 2017. A consortium of West Sussex authorities has been successful in bidding for Department for Transport consultancy advice to develop Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs). LCWIPs are high-level strategies focusing on town- sized areas that highlight the routes where investment in new infrastructure provision is most likely to help to achieve our target. In September the consortium will begin working with consultants appointed by the Department for Transport on developing LCWIPs for Chichester, Crawley, Horsham and Worthing. -

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 Defence of Littlehampton During the Second World War
The Defence of Littlehampton during the Second World War. Countless books have been written about life in Britain during the Second World War, and the role of Sussex is also well documented, notably by John Goodwin in his excellent book ‘Defending Sussex Beaches 1940-1942’, but I have found nothing specific to Littlehampton. This essay aims to explain in detail the way that Littlehampton was defended from the threat of enemy invasion during the period 1939-1945. I myself was not alive at the time, I am not a resident of Littlehampton and I have no military experience- so all the information in this essay is pieced together from other published sources with the aim of explaining things for the general reader. When Littlehampton Fort was built in 1854 the threat of invasion came from France and the bellicose French Emperor Napoleon III. For the next decade British public opinion was terrified that a French landing was imminent and as a consequence a whole chain of forts, known as Palmerston Forts, after the then Prime Minister, was constructed from Portsmouth to Newhaven to protect the Channel beaches. However, in 1870 Napoleon III’s army was defeated by the Prussians and the invasion panic subsided. Indeed throughout the twentieth century Britain and France were allies in the ‘Entente Cordiale.’ So the Sussex coastal fortifications were left to crumble and Littlehampton fort was disarmed in January 1891. From then on Littlehampton had no proper defences, which was all very well until Hitler’s army captured northern France. 1 On 5th June 1940 the German army broke through the French defences along the Belgian border and two days later they had reached Paris. -
Arun to Pagham Flood and Erosion Risk Management Strategy
Agenda Item No. 12 Joint Downland Area Committee Report Title : Arun to Pagham Flood and Erosion Risk Management Strategy 6th July 2009 Report by : Services Director, Arun District Council Executive Summary This Report informs Members about the Arun to Pagham draft Flood and Erosion Risk Management Strategy which was published in the week commencing 1 June 2009. There is a 3 month period of public consultation period so that JDAC has the opportunity to contribute to the consultation process prior to the adoption of the final strategy document. Recommendations Members are requested to consider the draft Strategy and are invited to submit comments to the Environment Agency by 28 August 2009. 1.0 Background 1.1 The Environment Agency (EA) became responsible for overseeing the management of all coastal flood and erosion risk in England in 2008. 1.2 The EA works in partnership to ensure that sustainable and affordable long term regional Shoreline Management Plans are in place for the Arun coastline, and approves them on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). The relevant Regional Shoreline Management Plan covers the area from Beachy Head to Selsey Bill. 1.3 The EA also allocates capital funding for flood and coastal erosion risk schemes. 1.4 More locally Flood and Erosion Risk Management Strategies are developed for smaller sections of the coastline i.e. Pagham to East Head, River Arun to Pagham, River Adur to River Arun. These need to reflect the emerging emphasis on sustainability, affordability and risk management, against the background of climate change, predicted sea level rise (6mm per year) and increased likelihood of extreme weather events (drought, flood, storms). -

Secret Sussex an Unusual Guide
ELLIE SEYMOUR SECRET SUSSEX AN UNUSUAL GUIDE JONGLEZ PUBLISHING CHICHESTER TO PETWORTH BLAKE’S COTTAGE 10 aving created some of the most iconic and influential works A seminal Romantic artist’s former seaside Hof British art and poetry, William Blake, the English painter, retreat printmaker and poet, is now recognised as a seminal figure of the Romantic Age. Blakes Road According to the Blake Society, he lived in nine houses in his Felpham, Bognor Regis, West Sussex, PO22 7EE lifetime, only two of which survive: one in London’s West End at 17 To view from the outside only South Molton Street, and this one in the village of Felpham in Bognor Regis, West Sussex. In 1800, Blake moved from Lambeth in south London into this humble thatched cottage on the Sussex coast with his wife, Catherine, to escape the city and take up a job illustrating books. The move also marked the start of the most important period in Blake’s life and career. It was in this cottage that he wrote some of his best-known poetic works, including Milton: A Poem and the words to the hymn Jerusalem. He also depicted the cottage several times in his paintings; for instance, in a rare watercolour landscape showered in sunlight, now held by the Tate Britain. He is also known to have described the house in letters to a friend: “No other house can please me so well, nor shall I ever be persuaded, I believe, that it can ever be improved in beauty or use ... the sweet air and the voices of winds, trees, and birds, and the odours of the happy ground, make it a dwelling for immortals.
