This proposal was the culmination of a four-month community governance review which had followed due process, including two periods of public consultation.

(ii) That a Reorganisation of Community Governance Order be made to give effect to this decision and all relevant bodies be advised that the order has been made.
(iii) That the Local Government Boundary Commission for England be requested to give effect to the consequential changes to the West Sussex County Council electoral divisions of Southwater & Nuthurst and Billingshurst, arising from the amended boundary between Southwater and Shipley parishes.
