📢 Changes to Reporting Public Rights of Way Issues

West Sussex County Council has advised that, from 2 October 2026, reports and enquiries about Public Rights of Way will no longer be accepted by email via [email protected].

Instead, residents should use the online reporting form on the West Sussex County Council website, which allows you to:

✅ Pinpoint the exact location on a map
✅ Provide detailed information about the issue
✅ Upload supporting photographs

The new system is designed to help reports be logged, prioritised and managed more effectively.

If you need to report a problem with a footpath, bridleway or other Public Rights of Way, please use the online form from 2 October onwards. 👉 https://www.westsussex.gov.uk/land-waste-and-housing/public-paths-and-the-countryside/public-rights-of-way/report-a-problem-with-a-right-of-way/ -a-problem

🌟🙈 Can you help local families in Pulborough? 🌟

Little Monkeys Toddler Group is looking for volunteers to help keep this much-loved community group running.

The group provides a welcoming space for babies, toddlers, parents and carers every Friday morning at Pulborough Village Hall, but they urgently need a few extra helping hands.

Whether you can spare a few hours every week or only occasionally, your support could make a real difference.

📱If you'd like to get involved, please contact Little Monkeys directly via their page.

🌟 VOLUNTEERS DESPERATELY NEEDED! 🌟

Little Monkeys is looking for some lovely people to join our volunteer team! 🐵💚

We really need a few more helping hands so we can continue providing a friendly, welcoming space for babies, toddlers, parents and carers every Friday morning.

📍 Pulborough Village Hall
🕘 Every Friday morning during term time

You don’t need to commit every week — even giving up a few hours when you can would make a HUGE difference! 💚

You could help with:
🥪 Snacks & drinks
🎨 Setting up activities
🧸 Getting the room ready
🧹 Tidying away
🤝 Supporting families and being a friendly face

Little Monkeys is run by volunteers, and without more help, it becomes really difficult for us to keep everything running.

If you could spare a few hours and would like to support local families, we’d absolutely love to hear from you! 🐵💚

📩 Send us a message to find out more or get involved!
