Important public information - Economy Committee, 22 October 2024
The Economy Committee on the 22 October will not be webcast, as confirmed in the published agenda. This is due to a significant equipment upgrade to the webcasting equipment in the Civic Centre Council Chamber from 18 October to 5 November.
At this meeting, the committee will debate whether public consultation should be held on the addition of new beach huts at Rustington and elsewhere, not a final decision on whether beach huts will be installed or where. We know this agenda item is gathering much local interest.
With many members of the public wishing to attend the meeting, it is important that we share the following information:
1. The safety of the public and all in attendance is a priority and there is capacity for 100 members of the public to attend. We must limit numbers to 100 to ensure that if the building needed to be evacuated, this can happen quickly and safely.
2. Those who have submitted public questions and had correspondence to confirm their inclusion, will be given priority admittance.
3. Those attending the meeting will be asked to sign in before entering the building. This will help us account for everyone in the event of an evacuation.
4. We will admit as many people as we can but when we reach 100, we will not be able to let anybody else into the building.
We know this means there may be those who wish to attend that are unable to be in the public gallery and we apologise in advance but are sure you will understand how important safety is.
You will be able to read the minutes of the meeting when they are added to our website.
