Be the first to hear about the West Sussex Retail Hub
The West Sussex Retail Hub is a fantastic set of online learning modules and training to support independent retail businesses in West Sussex.
Set to go live on 12 July, the hub is the first part of an exciting range of support measures for retail and high street businesses in West Sussex you'll see this summer. We're delighted to be a part of the project, which is a partnership between all West Sussex local authorities.
The programme will include live events, pre-recorded learning modules as well as downloads and useful resources, which will be free to access at any time of the day.
There will be an online launch event for the hub on 12 July at 6pm with guest speaker Mark Smith, Chief Operating Officer at Sweaty Betty. You'll also meet the module presenters and have time to ask questions about the programme. Register to take part in the launch event via the following link:

Network Rail engineering works
If you work at the weekends, or if your customers get the train to visit you, make sure you're up to date with the Arun Valley line engineering works schedule.
This summer, Network Rail is upgrading the Arun Valley Line, which runs through Horsham, to replace 1980s track and infrastructure with new, more reliable, equipment. This means that Southern will serve the line with buses for seven weekends between July and October, including a nine day closure from Sat 14 August to Sunday 22 August. Enabling work is due to begin on Sunday 11 July.
