Have your say on the future of local government in West Sussex Photo of street in Chichester
Residents, businesses and community groups across the county are being invited to share their views about the future of their councils as part of an important survey launching on Thursday 17 July at: www.shapingwestsussex.org.
All West Sussex residents and organisations are invited to complete the survey, which asks about where they live or work; the council services they use; as well as what matters to them about how their council could be structured in the future. The survey will close at 11.59pm on Wednesday 13 August. This is just the start of local government reorganisation in West Sussex and the councils will continue to seek the views of local people as the process progresses.
Chichester Library will be resuming it’s regular events following the maintenance and refurbishment of the ground floor on Monday 28th July 2025.
We all want to enjoy a clean and welcoming Chichester—and that starts with small actions we each can take. This summer, Chichester District Council are encouraging residents and visitors alike to support our Against Litter initiative and help protect the beauty of the district.
With over 300 square miles to maintain, they rely on the community to do their part. Whether you’re strolling through town or picnicking in the park, please take your rubbish home or use one of the many public bins available. And if you see someone in need of a reminder, help spread the message.
Looking to make a difference? The Adopt an Area scheme allows individuals, families, and groups to pledge regular litter picks in their chosen part of the district. Participants receive an Adopt an Area pack full of useful tips for organising clean-up efforts and information about the support available from the District Council.
If you’re a dog owner, consider joining the Green Dog Walkers scheme. By pledging to be a responsible walker, you’ll help promote positive habits and act as a friendly reminder to others to pick up after their pets.
Planning a clear-out? Be sure to dispose of your waste safely and legally. Always use a licensed waste carrier and verify their registration number with the Environment Agency. If waste is fly-tipped and traced back to you, you could face a fine—even if you weren’t the one to dump it.
Together, we can preserve the charm and cleanliness of Chichester—for today, and for generations to come.
Did you know that flea and tick treatment on dogs can be fatal for river wildlife
Please keep dogs out of rivers if they have recently been given a flea or tick treatment
This will help protect river wildlife while also prolonging the flea treatment for your dog’s wellbeing
A single flea treat for a medium sized dog contains enough pesticide to kill 60 million bees!
