Help us and our partners gauge public opinion by completing the following consultations and sharing widely with your residents:
The draft joint strategy has been developed by West and East Sussex county councils and Brighton and Hove City Council.
The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 requires local authorities to publish a strategy setting out how they will protect and assist survivors of domestic abuse in safe accommodation.
Alongside the strategy, the three councils have been awarded just over £3.1 million of government funding, which will go towards implementing the strategy across Sussex when it is finalised.
Closing date: Sunday 19 December 2021.
- Share your views on whether a trial booking system at selected recycling centres should be made permanent.
Book to Recycle has been in place at Bognor Regis, Crawley, Horsham, Littlehampton, Shoreham-by-Sea and Worthing Recycling Centres since April 2021.
The scheme has greatly reduced waiting times and disruption at peak periods, with over 410,000 people pre-booking a recycling slot since trials began.
Now, a public consultation has been launched to seek views on making the booking system permanent, and extending it to include Burgess Hill recycling centre.
Closing date: Tuesday 21 December.
- Improving frontline firefighter cover at a number of key fire stations is just one of a number of proposals set out in a new public consultation launched by our West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service.
The fire and rescue service is proposing to increase firefighter availability at some stations, to better align its resources to the risks within the county. This will allow the service to enhance its emergency response, as well as its vital prevention and protection activity within the community.
The proposals are set out in the service’s draft Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP), which outlines the fire and rescue service’s key priorities over the course of the next four years.
You can find more information on the six proposals and take part in the consultation here.
Closing date: Friday 21 January 2022.
Back in 2016, the first plans were published containing a six year, national strategy to manage flood risk across England.
As a Lead Local Flood Authority, the county council has been working with the Environment Agency to review and update the plans for 2021 to 2027.
Closing date: Friday 21 January 2022.
