Climate Emergency for Sussex and the planet
CPRE Sussex has joined the South East Climate Alliance and is supporting the call for West Sussex Council to declare a ‘Climate Emergency’ at its Council meeting on 5th April 2019.

Arun District update, Feb 2019
Since the District Council’s adoption of the Local Plan in July 2018, following a lengthy examination by the Inspectorate, it is fair to say that residents are completely disenfranchised and dismayed by the apparent indifference of developers and the council to the need for new infrastructure to support the building of 20,000 houses by 2031 and the need to protect wildlife and prime agricultural land.
