St. Andrew's Church - This Norman church is being repaired and restored after being struck by lightning. The Parochial Church Council is planning to install a toilet with disabled access as part of the renovations. The Church members play an influential part in village life, annual events like St Andrew's Fair are popular.

Roads and Traffic - The A27 is likely to be upgraded, but the Village's needs vary from a footbridge to Boxgrove (preferably ramped for buggies and cycles) to better junctions at village access points and greater capacity. The Parish Council is in discussion to progress this important requirement

Tangmere road - The Parish Council has urged better traffic control – a traffic calming scheme is in the process of being implemented. The Parish Council is actively co-operating with WSCC to improve cycle tracks and implement government policy to increase use of cycles rather than cars. Pedestrians are also being given better footpaths, though some are overgrown .

The Village Shop - This is part of the One Stop chain which is owned by Tesco. It has widened its stock range and trimmed some prices. It is well used by villagers and passers-by alike. However, its siting was criticised in our recent survey and there is a need to consider whether the shop can be relocated from the bottleneck of Tangmere Road to an alternative site offering short term car parking. There is competition from the nearest supermarket, Sainsbury's, just three miles away and the Esso garage which also sells some food items. There is a farm shop two miles away at Shopwyke.

The Aviation Museum - This is a major asset to the village and is considering proposals to extend. The Museum holds regular public events and village organisations have taken part.

Crime and anti-social behaviour - There has been an increase in petty crime, including substance abuse. There is occasional vandalism and widespread dropping of litter. However, we believe that improved recreational facilities will help reduce petty crime. A new community policing policy has brought our Community Wardens into service – they can be contacted here. With support from local neighbourhood watch teams it is hoped that these measures will help deter some of the more anti-social behaviour.
