Angmering Parish Council gets a share of Safer Streets Funding for lighting in Mayflower Park

Funding secured for lighting in Mayflower Park.

It is with great pleasure that Angmering Parish Council (APC) can announce that our request for funding from Safer Streets through the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner (Sussex PCC), for solar lighting through Mayflower Park was successful.

Initial investigations showed that lighting through the park had been mentioned in APC minutes dating as far back as 2009. It has long been a wish of the council to provide the lighting and since the new Clerk has been in post (October 2018) it is something that APC have all worked hard to achieve for the safety of Angmering residents. Councillors added the task to the councils Annual Plan for 2021/2022 and will be aiming for installation as soon as possible.

Thanks go to Georgina Bouette, Communities and Wellbeing Manager from Arun District Council, Dr Lucie Venables, Head of Commissioning from Sussex PCC and Simon Liley, Head Teacher from The Angmering School for their support and guidance in achieving this funding.
