Could we set up our own community renewable energy project? If so, where would it go, what would it power? etc.

Plan Objective 2. Green & Blue Neighbourhood ...protect and enhance the natural environment and biodiversity of Shoreham Beach by stimulating public awareness and engagement... How are we going to monitor this? One suggestion is to take part in the annual City Nature Challenge. The CNC is an annual four-day "global bioblitz at the end of April, where cities are in a collaboration-meets-friendly-competition to see not only what can be accomplished when we all work toward a common goal, but also which city can gather the most observations of nature, find the most species, and engage the most people in the event." Would you take part in this event?

Once the Plan is approved, who will manage the funding of community projects? If you'd like to join a group to manage Forum funding and fundraise for community projects after the Plan is complete, please click here to share ideas and join the discussion: https://www.shorehambeachforum.com/group/funding-group

Some members have long argued that the Plan should include measures to protect existing trees and plant more on the Beach. The 2020 West Sussex Tree Plan recognises that trees have a significantly positive impact on the economy, society, mental health, physical health and the environment. However, some residents say: "if you want trees, go live in the town". Do you think the Plan should do more to protect and/or enhance tree growth on the Beach?
