The
Bognor Regis Herald is the online newspaper of One
Bognor
The
One Bognor Society exists for local people to be able to
discuss the future of our urban area of 63,000 people,
often known as 'Bognor Regis'.|This
includes our local economy and environment, and
especially Regeneration at a crucial time in our Town's
history.
Also, how the area is governed. At this time,
EIGHT local councils are responsible for how the area is
managed:
-
West Sussex County
Council which runs Education, Children & Adult
Services, Highways etc - the Big Spender, and a
Council that is in trouble at this time.
-
Arun
District Council which has responsibility for
Planning, Licensing, Environmental Health, Housing
etc. Like many Councils Arun faces massive
problems re finance at this time.
-
Both
these are known as 'Principal Councils' - in many
areas now there are Unitary Councils which do both
levels
-
There are also 6
parish-level councils - Aldwick, Bersted, Bognor
Regis Town, Felpham, Middleton-on-Sea and Pagham.
-
Of these currently ONLY
Bognor and Middleton have parish councillors who
have all been VOTED FOR in an election, Aldwick has
only 5 out of 13 who were voted for.
They spend between them over £1.5 million of public
money a year. They have a wide range of
powers. 3 have parish councillors whom no one
voted for!
ONE BOGNOR poses the Question: Do we want this
to continue or would people support a single Bognor
Regis Urban Area Town Council to speak for us?
-
OR
-
Do the people of Bognor
Regis urban area want their own Bognor Regis
District Council to replace Arun (and which might
also mean we do not need the 6 parish
councils). ONE BOGNOR is running an
ONLINE PETITION to test this idea amongst the people
of the area.
-
Bognor Regeneration
- no results since 2004 In 2004 Arun Council
adopted the Bognor Regis Regeneration
Masterplan. To cut a very long story very
sort, in that time, NOTHING of value has been
achieved. Instead, Arun has attempted, since 2014,
to impose a low-level low-vision piecemeal redevelopment
which will do nothing to help the Town recover, not only
from Covid but also its long-term neglect over decades.
One Bognor believes that a large-scale, high-ambition plan
is needed to ensure this Town retains a place in seaside
resort rankings, and that Cultural Regeneration is the way
forward, bringing in more and new types of Visitor,
spending more money per head, revitalising local business
and employment.
There
are a number of ideas being proposed and One Bognor has a
Vision as go how these can be brought together to create a
Better Bognor.
