LETTER: Great value for money!

Thank you for an excellent and factual story on the Littlehampton Town Council budget for the coming year.

Unfortunately, the headline gave the impression that all of the extra £2.19 (or 4p a week for the average household) was going towards doubling the very popular Screen on the Green film show in August.

In fact the increase is going to a whole range of services, including more grants to voluntary groups, new allotments at Kingsley Gate, enhancing the no 12 & 15 bus service, new town gateway signs, Centenary events for the First World War’s end, and (with Arun District Council) investing in a new Skate Park for youngsters. We are also exploring a new building for the Keystone Youth Centre, a playground at Rosemead Park, and possible free wifi on the seafront .
