Members and friends joined us for a busy AGM on the 5th July at the Shoreham Centre.

Mid Sussex Times, 8 June 2017

CPRE Sussex and other campaigners react to the planning inspector's decision to increase the housing target in the Mid Sussex District Local Plan from 800 to 1,026 homes a year.

This summer the people of Arundel will be given their first opportunity in 30 years to give their views on options for a new A27 bypass which could change the Sussex countryside forever.

On Friday 2 June we held a bug hunt for families, led by the hugely knowledgeable professor Dave Goulson from Sussex University. We met in the grounds of the university and walked to Stanmer Park, collecting and learning about bugs on the way. We found a large number of Bees, beetles and butterflies and even some small frogs at the Dew Pond. A hugely enjoyable day!
