WEST SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTION 2013

When did this take place? Who were the candidates and who got elected? Where do you contact them? What are the important issues? What does West Sussex County Council DO anyway?

There is precious little information available on the election, unless you go onto the West Sussex County Council website and search for it. Even then you will know nothing about the important issues and will have to rely on information from some of the Candidates who did or did not succeed. And are they telling you the whole story? For more information please click on election

DO YOU WANT A MULTIPLEX CINEMA ON BOGNOR REGIS SEAFRONT?

DO YOU WANT HUNDREDS MORE FLATS IN BOGNOR REGIS?

‿CONSERVATIVE COUNCILLORS HAVE SAID THIS SHOULD HAPPEN

Why are they doing this? A multiplex usually charges at least £7.50 a seat, whereas the Picturedrome charges only £2.50. And if we lose the Picturedrome because of it, £7.50 - or more - is what we’ll be stuck with.

And why would their intended 280 more flats (80 on the seafront Regis Centre site) help improve the town, as they believe, when hundreds built in the recent past have not delivered regeneration?

And why have Bognor Regis Town Council and its Electors passed a vote of no confidence in the Bognor Regis regeneration proposals?

And if you disagree with what’s being proposed, what can YOU do about it? Click on regeneration to find out more...
