Manhood Peninsula Partnership Caring for Chichester’s Coastal Communities. The Manhood Peninsula Partnership was inspired by local residents to promote a sustainable way forward for addressing the environmental, social and economic challenges posed to the area by climate change.
Manhood Peninsula Partnership Coastal Management A large part of the Manhood is less than 5m above sea level and at risk from flooding, both inland and coastal. It is likely that climate change will increase this risk, through rising sea levels, rising water tables and increased precipitation intensity. Drainage is an increasing problem in the Manhood as the existing ditches are proving inadequate to handle increased run-off resulting from recent development and heavier rainfall. Plans...
Manhood Peninsula Partnership Climate Change The Manhood Peninsula is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change including rising sea levels, rising water table, and more intense precipitation. As a result, the MPP has been working closely with the community to raise levels of awareness and to help produce adaptation plans. These include: practical adaptations funded through a Community Grant Fund including the installation of cycle racks at East Wittering School; the provision of water butts...

The Greening Campaign

The Greening Campaign

The Greening Campaign was set up in response to the threat of global warming. It is an innovative idea to help motivate people to reduce their energy consumption and therefore lower their personal and community carbon footprint. The scheme started in Hampshire with the ‘Greening Petersfield’ campaign, the idea of a local resident who wanted to make a difference.

On the Manhood Peninsula, Oving Parish has been selected to run a trial campaign called ‘Greening Oving’ which will be similar to the campaign in Petersfield. Look out for the distinctive green leaf logo around the villages.

The scheme is now operating across the South East region, with enquires coming from across the country.
