On 26th October the East Beach Residents Association committee met the Hon. Nick Gibb, MP for Bognor and Littlehampton.
He fully supported the view that both the Swimming & Sports Centre and the Windmill Theatre should remain on their present sites. He undertook to write to ADC asking them to co-operate fully with the Leisure Action Group and provide them with all the necessary information and support.
We need everyone to actively continue to raise their voices in the lead up to the decision 11 February.
We now need everyone to write to their own Arun District Councillor.
HOW? - Look at the 'WHAT TO DO NOW' page (click the text in the 'button' row near the top of this page) and look for the 'Keep on Persuading' item (scroll down as necessary)
You should ask for assurance that they will support the views of residents, Littlehampton Town Council, Rustington Parish Council and Nick Gibb our local MP, that the Swimming and Sports Centre should remain on its present site, with no sale of any of the land, and grant funding be sought to refurbish the complex.
Further, the Windmill Theatre should be supported, remain on its present site, perhaps as a free standing Trust and available grant funding be sort to upgrade the facility to provide digital projection. This would improve the range of programmes available by giving option of live streaming of Opera, Ballet and concerts and even sport venues from world renowned venues.
