Introduction
The Littlehampton Business Forum aims to establish itself as a key stakeholder in Littlehampton and become a recognised consultative body on Littlehampton business matters, providing a unified voice among its members. Established in late 2024, Littlehampton Town Council and Consultants from Survival2Significance worked closely with businesses to develop this forum. The group aims to meet once every two months going forwards, and as of March 2025, has created a Six month Action Plan to support in establishing roles.
