Thank you to everyone who voted in the Fittleworth Referendum yesterday.
In answer to the question ‘Do you want the South Downs National Park Authority to use the Neighbourhood Plan for the Fittleworth area to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?’ the votes counted were:-
Yes – 164 No – 30
The Fittleworth Neighbourhood Plan is close to its most important stage – a referendum in which the electors of the parish can approve or reject the Plan.
A drop-in session at which members of the Steering Group were available to answer questions took place at the Village Hall on Wednesday 30th October. Thank you to the 25 people who came along.
A complete, up to date version of the Plan can be seen on this village website; follow ‘Parish Council’, then ‘Neighbourhood Development Plan’.
There are printed copies of the Plan and full sets of the associated appendices, available to read in Fittleworth Stores and St Mary’s Church, Fittleworth.
There is more extensive information about our Plan on the South Downs website:

We have just heard that the Worthing Volunteers who do so much for our village, have had to cancel coming to tomorrow’s Working Party – they and three Fittleworth Parish Councillors are the core of the team – so we will reschedule the working day. Apologies to any villagers who were aiming to help us tomorrow.
Congratulations to everyone involved in our successful, fantastic Fittleworth Stores!
Special thanks to Alison, Mick and all the committee members over the last year and to Toni, her team and the volunteers!
