At the next meeting, which takes place on Thursday 6th November in the Gordon Room at Worthing Town Hall from 6:30pm, the committee will be questioning Paul Brewer, the councils’ new chief executive, as well as Adur leader Cllr Jeremy Gardner and Worthing leader Cllr Sophie Cox on both the incoming and outgoing corporate strategies.

Fair, Green & Local is the councils’ vision and corporate strategy for the period 2025-2028 and builds on the learnings from Our Plan, the previous strategy, as well as from extensive community engagement as part of the Thriving Together programme which highlighted the importance of keeping decisions local, investing in community and culture, creating better places, and focusing on young people.

The strategy revolves around three core principles - a fairer, greener and more local future - and introduces a draft delivery plan which translates these high-level priorities into a programme of tangible actions and projects.

Ahead of the meeting and submitting questions on the strategy, residents can read more about it here: https://democracy.adur-worthing.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=159&MId=2207.

The feedback from the meeting will be incorporated into the final version of the strategy, which will be presented to the councils’ Joint Strategic Committee for adoption in December. 

Your questions on the strategy can be submitted to the committee by emailing [email protected] by midday on Monday 3rd November. You can attend the meeting on the night or listen back online.
