But with more than £12,000 left to be distributed before the end of the financial year, county councillors on the JEAAC decided to split any remaining amount between a local foodbank and Operation Watershed, a project to alleviate local flooding problems across West Sussex.
County Councillors on the JEAAC also considered a traffic regulation order introducing parking restrictions on the A284 Lyminster Road.
They agreed to its implementation, but with an altered junction protection scheme incorporating a reduced length of double yellow lines in Coomes Way, Griffin Crescent and Sandfield Avenue, Wick, Littlehampton.
