I would like to thank Chris for the commitment and dedication he has given whilst Chairman of the Council for the past 6 years. Chris has led the Council to achieve many things not least the adoption of our award winning Neigbourhood Plan in 2018. We have a very competent Council with a variety of skills within our team. The Town’s Councillors are committed to ensuring Petworth is a great place to live, work and visit. I look forward to developing the Town Council’s partnerships with community groups, charities, businesses and other agencies on behalf of our residents.”
