Seating grant

Softer seats in Aldingbourne Community Sports Centre can be bought with a grant from councillors.

The 843 for the seating was agreed by the Joint Downland Area Committee of parish, town and district councillors.

They also agreed to hand out 1,500 towards the 3,000 which Yapton Parish Council expects to spend on lighting to enable the village sports enclosure to be used during the evenings.

Climping Parish Council is also to receive 2,500 to pay for new stage curtains for the village hall as part of the committee's latest round of hand-outs.
