Future of Bognor Regis Town Hall to be subject of meeting of electors

A representative of Premier Inn is also to be invited to the meeting on March 16 at 7pm in the council chamber.

Councillors at a policy and resources meeting on February 2 discussed the best subjects and speakers to get electors to attend the meeting.

Cllr Danny Dawes suggested both, saying a lot of misinformation was being spread on social media regarding the Premier Inn and ‘they are a big investor in the town’.

Last year the town council agreed to have a members’ briefing about making an expression of interest in taking the Town Hall from Arun District Council.

Arun had announced it was reviewing its use of the historic building and planning to remove the front of house desk, taking services into the community in outreach sessions instead.
