Young People's Strategy Survey
Added: 13th October 2026
Help Shape the Future for Young People in West Sussex
West Sussex County Council is developing a new Young People’s Strategy and are seeking views of young people, parents / carers, communities and organisations on the proposed priorities for the strategy.
The strategy will help shape leisure-time and recreational opportunities for young people aged 11 to 19, and up to 25 for those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), over the next five years. It focuses on improving access to activities and opportunities that support health and wellbeing, confidence, skills development, positive relationships and community connection.
We would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete the survey and share it with relevant local networks, community groups, young people, parents and carers, schools, leisure providers and partner organisations.

Queen's Green Canopy Replacement Tree
Added: 13th October 2026
In February 2023 Bramber Parish Council planted a copper beech tree on the roundabout as part of the national Queen's Green Canopy project. The tree was kindly supplied by Horsham District Council but, due to circumstances beyond our control, it sadly died.
Although the project has now terminated, the Parish Council decided to purchase a replacement and locate it in a more convenient spot where it could be tended more easily and appreciated by passing walkers.
A rowan tree has now been planted in the King's Meadow, adjacent to the Castle, and near the Castle Community Orchard.

Support the Aerosol Recycling Campaign
Added: 31st October 2025
Please support the Aerosol Recycling Campaign which is currently running in partnership with Alupro and Arun District Council. The campaign will continue until the end of November and aims to raise awareness and increase the recycling of empty aerosol cans across West Sussex.
Each year, the UK uses around 550 million metal aerosols, many of which can be recycled at home once empty. However, recent surveys show that 22% of residents are unaware that empty aerosol cans are recyclable. This campaign seeks to change that. As part of this we would be very grateful if you could:
-
Display the campaign posters on your local notice boards.
-
Share our social media posts to help spread the message online. We are online as @WSRecycles
The campaign encourages residents to use the Spray, Squirt, Shake method to check if their aerosol cans are empty before recycling. If not empty, they should be taken to a local Recycling Centre for safe disposal.
You can find more information about aerosol recycling and the campaign, including a catchy video, on the West Sussex County Council website.
A New Online Tool for Householders
Added: 18th September 2025
Horsham District Council has been working with Chichester District Council and Parity Projects to develop a free online tool to help householders get advice on energy saving measures they could take that will help to reduce the amount of home energy they use, make their home more comfortable to live in, reduce their carbon emissions and potentially increase the value of their home too. The tool is a great way for residents to understand retrofit options available and likely costs.
Both district councils have declared a Climate Emergency and this online tool is a way that we can support homeowners to understand the benefits of changes that can be made to homes and the costs of making these changes. In the Horsham district over half of carbon emissions are associated with energy used in buildings and over 80% of the buildings in the district are homes.
