Championing Chichester  

What is your vision for Chichester?  

​

I am committed to restoring Chichester as a vibrant place to live, work and play. Our city has a huge amount to offer, and I see a real opportunity to help it adapt to our changing lifestyles:  reshaping how people shop, work and spend their leisure time. Chichester deserves to thrive, and I'll keep fighting to make sure it does. 

​

What are you doing to celebrate Chichester's history and heritage?

  

Chichester has an extraordinary story to tell, and I want to make sure it is told in full. I was proud to visit Fishbourne Roman Palace, the largest Roman palace north of the Alps, during English Tourism Week, celebrating the outstanding heritage on our doorstep. I also joined the Chichester Women's History Group to unveil three new blue plaques honouring women who shaped our city's history. I'm proud to support the Group's ongoing campaign for a statue of suffragist Madge Turner in the city centre. 

​

What do you think of Chichester Festival Theatre?  

​

Chichester Festival Theatre is one of the jewels in our city's crown - a world-class venue that puts Chichester on the national cultural map. I'm enormously proud of everything CFT contributes to our community, from the productions that draw audiences from across the country to the work it does right here in the local area. It is a fantastic asset, and I will always champion its importance. 

​

What about the Chichester Art Trail?  

​

The Chichester Art Trail is a wonderful celebration of the incredible talent we have right here in our community. With more than 100 properties opening their doors to share their art, it's a unique opportunity for residents and visitors alike to discover what makes this area so special. Events like these are exactly what make Chichester such a brilliant place to live, and I'm proud to support them.
