Singleton Parish Council

( Volunteers Clearing the River Lavant )

This website provides information about the activities of the Parish Council in the villages of Singleton and Charlton - pretty villages situated in the Lavant Valley, a few miles north of Chichester in West Sussex.

All of our councillors are volunteers and are committed to representing their community. They:

give views, on behalf of the community, on planning applications and other proposals that affect the parish
undertake projects and schemes that benefit local residents
work in partnership with other bodies to achieve benefits for the parish
alert relevant authorities to problems that arise or work that needs to be undertaken
help the other tiers of local government keep in touch with their local communities

We want to work closely with our community and encourage residents to get in touch with us and attend meetings. Please get in touch and join our mailing list, mailchimp

Southern Water Updates

Please click View All to download the presentation given at the Parish Council Meeting held on the 18th November 2024.

Southern Water Update Friday 31st January 2025

We have sealed this week approx. 187m of public and private sewer in Charlton.

Total sealed from East dean down the valley is approx 3845m.

The crews are continuing to carry out their works with minimal impact to the residents.

The levels in the network are still very low in Charlton and through the field towards Singleton Village.

Unfortunately there is not a lot to report on this occasion as the crews continue to seal the network and lock out infiltration as they go.

I have added the borehole data from East Dean
