Singleton Parish Council

( Volunteers Clearing the River Lavant )

This website provides information about the activities of the Parish Council in the villages of Singleton and Charlton - pretty villages situated in the Lavant Valley, a few miles north of Chichester in West Sussex.

All of our councillors are volunteers and are committed to representing their community. They:

give views, on behalf of the community, on planning applications and other proposals that affect the parish
undertake projects and schemes that benefit local residents
work in partnership with other bodies to achieve benefits for the parish
alert relevant authorities to problems that arise or work that needs to be undertaken
help the other tiers of local government keep in touch with their local communities

We want to work closely with our community and encourage residents to get in touch with us and attend meetings. Please get in touch and join our mailing list, mailchimp

Welcome to the August issue of initiatives+

These updates are issued every month with the latest news and events in our area, details of schemes and projects that will benefit our residents and businesses, as well as national and local coronavirus updates.

New financial support service

Later this year we will be launching a new Supporting You team in response to the cost of living challenges. It will be delivered by a dedicated team of customer focused advisors who will be able to extensively support people with a range of issues. Find out more at www.chichester.gov.uk/article/36780/Council-to-offer-new-all-round-financial-support-service-for-residents

Planning application notifications

You can sign up to receive email notifications of new planning applications near you at https://mydistrict.chichester.gov.uk/mycdc.aspx?tab=alerts. We also publish a list of new planning applications each week at www.chichester.gov.uk/viewplanningapplications

Safe and easy ways to pay

From 1 November, we will no longer be taking cheques. They take longer to process and can get lost in the mail, which can delay your service. This change also lessens the risk of fraud and will help keep council tax low. For safe and easy ways to pay, visit www.chichester.gov.uk/applyreportpay

Improvements to recycling trial

The way we collect textiles, small electricals and coffee pods as part of our recycling trial has changed. If you’re in the trial area and have items to recycle, please make sure you book a free collection. Find out more at

Summer activities at The Novium Museum

Our museum is running lots of events and activities to keep the family entertained this summer, from art workshops through to a geology day. All events are listed at: www.thenovium.org/whatson

It’s also worth visiting the range of exhibitions, including ‘The Art of Chichester’; ‘200 years of Chichester's Canal’; and ‘The Novium Museum at 10’: www.thenovium.org/exhibitions

Funding to support Ukrainian refugees

We’re aware of the continued need to support those affected by the war in Ukraine, and so we will be passporting Government funding to Voluntary Action Arun Chichester and Sanctuary to strengthen the support offered to Ukrainian guests living in the district.

Covid-19 boosters

People over 50 will be offered a Covid-19 booster and a flu jab this autumn. Work is underway in West Sussex to plan where and how people will be able to receive their booster. We’ll share this information from the NHS when we receive it. Find out more at www.sussex.ics.nhs.uk/your-care/covid-19-vaccination

Masks in NHS settings and Covid-safe behaviours

NHS Sussex has reintroduced the requirement for face coverings in all of its clinical settings for staff, patients and visitors to help stop the spread of the virus. Find out more at www.sussex.ics.nhs.uk/people-are-being-asked-to-protect-themselves-and-others-by-wearing-a-mask-in-healthcare-settings/

Covid-19 has not gone away but there are actions we can all take to help reduce the risk of catching and spreading the virus: get vaccinated; let fresh air in if meeting others indoors; practice good hygiene; and, wear a face covering.
