INTRODUCTION ... Rustington is seen as an attractive
and friendly Village, which appeals
to both residents and visitors alike.
As no community can remain static
our vision is to manage the inevitable
changes in ways that ensure
the atmosphere of the Village is
maintained and, wherever possible,
enhanced for the benefit of all. At
an Open Meeting held in October
2006, it was agreed to produce a
Community Action Plan that would
identify current concerns and ensure
Rustington Community Action Plan 2007
The Rustington Village Design Statement - 2010
If you are a resident or have an interest in our area and wish to offer something to the Partnership, you will be most welcome. Please contact us via email at communitypartnership@rustingtonpc.org and we will be delighted to discuss your involvement. |

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP NEWS
MAY 2010
The members of the Rustington Community Partnership, and especially the Management Committee, are getting really excited. The reason for this excitement is that the Partnership’s first two major projects provided for the benefit of Rustington residents are about to reach their conclusions.
Firstly, the Village Design Statement is now with the printers, and copies of the document will be available from the end of May. This document was the first major item to be identified when the Rustington Action Plan was completed in February 2008. After forming a Management Committee, the Partnership set about writing a Constitution and a Memorandum of Understanding, which was approved by the Parish Council, and provided a footing on which it could apply for lottery grants. After a lengthy application, the Partnership eventually obtained a grant of £8,900.00 from Awards For All (Big Lottery Fund) and was able to appoint a Consultant to prepare the document. After many months of work, and following the results of a questionnaire which was delivered to every household, the Consultant was able to write the first of five drafts. Each stage of the document was agreed between the Committee and the Conservation Officer at the Arun District Council. The final document is split into twelve character areas and includes approximately fifty photographs.
The document will be adopted by the Arun District Council and will become part of the planning criteria for any planning applications within the Parish of Rustington, which should help to assure our Parishioners that only sympathetic new builds or alterations are permitted.
The second major project to be completed is the Community Garden at the rear of Rustington Museum. This project has been achieved after a two stage grant application of over £20,000.00 being awarded by Community Spaces Groundwork UK (Big Lottery Fund), following many hours of volunteer work, initially by Julie Armstrong, and subsequently by Don Rogers as Project Manager.
The work being carried out by the appointed Contractor, Design Landscapes, is progressing really well and when the commemorative water feature is installed the Partnership is sure the Village will enjoy the benefits of this beautiful quiet area in which to relax and enjoy the surroundings. There will be level paving for wheelchair access, pergolas with climbing plants and commemorative seating below, a raised bed and a sensory plant area. The garden has been designed to be available to all members of the community, including those who are disabled. It will be maintained by volunteers from local organisations and the three Primary Schools.
