Arun Flood Forum

The Arun Flood Forum was established in November 2023, with the first meeting held in February 2024.  This was in response to growing concerns about flood risk and resilience across the district. Its purpose is to bring together key partners and stakeholders to share information, coordinate action, and support communities in managing and mitigating flood-related issues.

The Forum provides a collaborative space for representatives from Arun District Council, West Sussex County Council, the Environment Agency, Southern Water, local parish and town councils, and community groups. By working together, members aim to improve local understanding of flood risk, support preparedness, and identify opportunities for joint initiatives and funding.

The Forum meets twice a year with reports presented to Arun District Council's Environment Committee. This ensures that its work is aligned with broader environmental priorities and that key findings can be considered in council decision-making as well as in partnership working.

Through collaboration, open dialogue and shared expertise, the Arun Flood Forum plays a vital role in helping to build a safer, more resilient future for residents and businesses across the district.
