Campaigners celebrate the Littlehapton Neighbourhood Plan referendum YES result

Only 16 per cent of those eligible to vote turned out.

Littlehampton mayor Jill Long put the low turnout down to confusion and bad weather on polling day.

Mrs Long, who also chaired the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group, said: “It is fabulous that the town has worked together to produce such a comprehensive document.”
