Work begins on East Wittering community hall
At a groundbreaking ceremony at Downview Park, Guide leader Jacqui Manuels stepped up to take the first shovel of dirt with parish clerk Joyce Griffith, from East Wittering and Bracklesham Parish Council.
The seven-month project is being funded by the F Glenister Woodger Trust, a charity that seeks to benefit people in The Witterings, and will be delivered by Portsmouth construction and maintenance company Mountjoy Ltd.
