Angmering Parish Council is proud of the many community organisations and activities in the parish and the community spirit of residents and is keen to recognise the achievements of those people who voluntarily and selflessly work to improve and enhance the lives of local people. In recognising the huge benefit of this kind of work it is hoped that others will be inspired to contribute to make the parish of Angmering an even better place to live.
The aim of presenting these awards is to promote pride in the community and to promote the idea of the community as something to be valued. The presentation of the awards will provide an opportunity to increase awareness of the good works in the parish and to allow that work to be celebrated.

Steve Anthony from Clancy attended the meeting but unfortunately the representative from Southern Water was not able to attend. Mr. Anthony handed out a map of the area he wanted to talk about and explained what areas would be worked on and the type of work that would take place. He also said that they would be working closely with WSCC Highways. He explained that initially they wanted to start work at the war memorial end of Station Road but due to the works on the A259 they would now be starting where the Oval Racetrack used to be located. Road closures in short sections (residents and businesses would always have access to their properties), radar surveys, culvert issues and how long the project would take (approx. 5 – 6 months depending on what the surveys show) as well as issuesrelating directly to Dappers Lane were also covered. Questions were invited and discussions took place.
He said that he understood the amount of disruption these works will cause and would try to keep the disruption to a minimum. Road closure timings were mentioned, and a further discussion took place as members of the public had concerns that the times being proposed would not work for Angmering. This point will be taken away and looked at.
Cllr. Verrinder requested that regular updates were given so APC can share with Angmering residents, this was agreed. Mr. Anthony also stated that a letter was due to go out to 3000 residents prior to the start of the works plus advance work signs will be placed on the road side. Cllr. N Hamilton Street had concerns regarding the school buses that use the village and requested that My Anthony arranged that the schools in the village were contacted directly so they could be made aware of the works/closures.
2023 / 2204 Parish Precept - Cllr. Hamilton-Street explained the supporting paper to the committee and commented that the Clerk had done a lot of work in pulling it all together. She suggested that APC do not increase the precept amount and asked for questions. A discussion then took place. RESOLUTION: Cllr. Want PROPOSED to approve the 0% rise in precept and to keep it at £107.87 per Band D property for 2023/2024. Cllr. Bicknell SECONDED and ALL AGREED.
Honey Lane - Cllr. Hamilton-Street explained the current situation and also that the residents now have a WSCC approved contractor in place to undertake the work required. It was also reported that the landowner would now be contributing £2k which was unexpected. A discussion then took place around the original point that APC would match the landowners contribution up to £10k. The question was should APC match the landowners now offer of £2k or stay with their original thoughts of offering the full £10k. Cllr. Hamilton-Street commented that if offering the full £10k a legal document should be drawn up to say that APC would have no liability going forward. After discussion all agreed that APC should offer a £10k contribution due to the use by residents and allotment users. RESOLUTION: Cllr. A Evans PROPOSED that the APC contribution should be £10k. Cllr. R Evans SECONDED and ALL AGREED.
Community Grant Applications - After a brief discussion the following was agreed. RESOLUTION: Cllr. Verrinder PROPOSED that a sum of £250.00 was granted to Victim Support, Cllr. Want SECONDED, and ALL AGREE.
