Sarah Sharp said: “I very much hope that residents in Chichester can get involved in the national Great Big Green Week brought together under the umbrella of the Climate Coalition. I am very excited to be taking part in two bus trips, working on the mini orchard on Florence Park and litterpicking in Selsey as well as in Whyke! Please register in advance by phoning or texting 07789 843556 or emailing GreenSarahSharp@gmail.com if you would like to get involved. Ideally every week should be a green week for us all to look after our environment but this 'Great Big Green Week' focuses our mind on championing and protecting the natural world around us. I hope that residents will have fun and enjoy getting involved in the community events that have been planned to make our environment cleaner and greener.”
