Petition addressed to: Chichester District Council

The toilet facilities at Bracklesham Bay are in dire need of refurbishment and this is now apparently scheduled for later this year. The Beach at Bracklesham Bay is very popular well used by a growing community of swimmers and surfers as well as holidaymakers all of whom would benefit from the ability to have a shower to wash off the salty water. We would like some outdoor showers to be installed as part of the refurbishment.

Reason

The Beach at Bracklesham Bay is an important recreational facility for Chichester. It is a growing community hub for open water enthusiasts; swimmers, surfers, dippers and sauna users. It's also a popular holidaymaker and day tripper destination with people traveling into the area. It's civilised and healthy for people to be able to wash off the salty water after being in the sea. Some showers would greatly benefit all those who use the beach.

Thank you so much for your support, James Ewart, Chichester

  • Thank you everyone for your support.
    We are 70 signatures short to get it officially proposed although we also have two councillors who are supporting us.
    If everyone could find one friend/son/daughter/uncle/aunt (you get the drift) then we would be through the magic 250 mark.
    Thank you again, this time next year we can be showering off before our post swim coffees.
    Happy Swimming
    James

  • Thanks so much everyone for your support. 100 signatures to go (we ideally need 250 not 500) and positive vibes from council.

  • Thansk all for supporting this petition. 60 in 24 hours is fab. Hopefully we can reach the 250 signatures required. Please do share. Many thanks. James
