Residents are advised to check opening days and times online at www.westsussex.gov.uk/recycling before they make a journey.
Social distancing measures will continue to be in place at all sites. Visitors are asked to follow these measures and be respectful to site staff. Verbal or physical abuse at the sites will not be tolerated.
Residents will need to provide ID, for example a current driving licence, to prove they are a West Sussex resident to be allowed entry to the sites.
Householders who drive a commercial-type vehicle or use a trailer are also being reminded to obtain a free permit before visiting the HWRSs. The permits are designed to help address congestion at the sites and eliminate illegal disposal of commercial waste: https://www.westsussex.gov.uk/land-waste-and-housing/waste-and-recycling/van-pickup-and-trailer-waste-permit/

Over the last few months the Parish Council have been working on updating the Parish Council Strategic Plan. The first version was published in 2017 and the Parish Council felt it was time to update the Plan.
The aim of a Strategic Plan is to give residents and businesses a really good idea of what the Parish Council is trying to achieve for the community of Fittleworth and surrounding areas in the next 3 to 4 years.
This Plan will be used to guide the Parish Council in its work until 2024.
The Plan has been approved by the Parish councillors and will be ratified at the next Parish Council meeting on 21st September 2020.
