West Sussex County Council News
Preparing for winter
Ahead of the coming winter months, WSCC are increasing work to clear drainage systems and ensure water can run off the roads as effectively as possible should we get more heavy rain, providing extra resources to clear more gullies, ditches and areas where leaves build up.
So far this year, they have carried out more than 43,000 drainage gully cleanses, brought in extra CCTV resource to monitor and identify issues, and provided an additional jetting unit to clear flooded areas and get them moving as soon as possible.
West Sussex County Council’s Highways Team will continue this work over the coming months and is calling on road users to help keep the network open by continuing to report any issues you encounter using our online reporting tool.
WSCC Budget Consultation
The county council is running a public consultation on their budget, and how they spend taxpayers’ money in the coming financial year 2025 to 2026.
The views of residents across West Sussex are vital to the budget-setting process, ensuring we’re making the best use of our resources and can continue to invest in and deliver services that support our communities.
You can complete the consultation survey by clicking here. The closing date is the 15th December.
