The Petworth Vision group is organising a competition to design a welcoming entrance to the town for visitors.

Steering group member Juliet Fynes reported to fellow members of Petworth Town Council on the group’s progress.

She said the two working parties ‘creating a sense of place’ and ‘supporting a vibrant retail economy’ had been working hard on their themes and had also been liaising with the group currently drawing up the town’s neighbourhood plan.

In particular it had a bank account now and funds to begin designing projects.

“The first is to create a welcoming entrance from the main car park to encourage visitors to explore the town,” she said.

A competition is being held for architects to design a gateway which the Vision group hope they will be able to bring to life. “So things are on the move with the Petworth Vision,” Mrs Fynes told the town council. Petworth residents were invited to an open meeting to hear how other ideas were being put into practice. Chichester District Council
