A SUMMARY
In late 2002 the Storrington Parish Council, along with a few village volunteers, started a Healthcheck process to examine the factors and issues affecting the viability and quality of life in the village. This process was being promoted throughout the Country, and locally by The Countryside Agency, Action in Rural Sussex and Horsham District and West Sussex County Councils. The purpose of the Healthcheck was to derive a Plan of Action to leading to projects to address, arrest, and, where possible, reverse unfavourable trends.
Completion of the Healthcheck Process and the preparation of an Action Plan qualifies the village for access to ring-fenced Regional Funds to enable project implementation, though within narrowly defined criteria.
In April 2003, the villages of Storrington & Sullington, for many years essentially one community, fused their separate Parish Councils into one. The new Council continued to support the work of the volunteers and the consultations taking place in the village, and, in October 2003, adopted the Action Plan as a framework for future planning.
On the 30th of March 2004, The Storrington & Sullington Community Partnership formally came into being, and in its first year of existence has operated under the guidance of a Management Committee.
