In 2000 the Town Council established a Town Force Team to improve the appearance of the town. This small team of highly-adaptable, multi-skilled operatives help to keep the town bright, well maintained and attractive. They work in partnership with other organisations and personnel, including the local volunteer groups, the District Council’s contractors and businesses who sponsor the Town Council’s planters.

Every attractive planter, beautifully maintained roundabout, repaired bench, and smoothly delivered town event shares one thing in common: a dedicated Town Force team working behind the scenes to make it happen.

Graffiti can quickly make a street feel neglected, reduce public confidence, and affect local businesses and residents’ enjoyment of their surroundings. Town Force team acts swiftly to remove graffiti and flyposting from the Town Council’s area*, restoring surfaces and helping the town feel safe, clean, and cared for.

We encourage anyone who sees graffiti to report it immediately to both the Police and us, so we can respond swiftly:

All graffiti needs to be reported to Sussex Police first.  This can be done by calling 101 or online here .You will be issued with a reference number which needs to be supplied to us before graffiti removal can be arranged.

To remove graffiti from domestic and commercial assets within the Town Council area, please email graffiti@bognorregis.gov.uk or call 01243 825535, quoting the Police Reference Number issued to you.  

To report graffiti on Arun District Council assets (such as car parks, play areas, parks & greenspaces) please visit their website www.arun.gov.uk  as we are unable to clear graffiti without their express instruction and payment.

Please note there may be a delay in removing graffiti if the property owner is difficult to reach. We must have their permission before proceeding with removal.

* Excluding Arun District Council assets

From vibrant seasonal displays to neatly maintained Town Council’s allotments, the team brings colour, care, and craftsmanship to the town’s outdoor environment.

The team’s horticultural responsibilities include:
• Maintenance of the town’s roundabouts and flower beds
• Hanging baskets and decorative planters
• Hedge and shrub care
• Grass cutting, strimming and weed control
• Seasonal bedding plant installation and maintenance

Their attention to detail ensures that every roundabout and planted area in the Town Council’s area of responsibility remains tidy, healthy, and attractive throughout the changing seasons.

Town Force team delivers both planned and reactive maintenance to keep Town Council’s assets in excellent condition.

It’s often the small improvements that have the biggest impact — and this team takes pride in ensuring every detail contributes to a clean, bright, and welcoming environment.

Community events bring the town to life — and the Town Force team plays a crucial operational role in making them possible.

They assist with:
• Setting up and dismantling gazebos, crowd barriers, and temporary infrastructure
• Installing traffic management systems
• Supporting both council-led and third-party events

Their flexibility, teamwork, and professionalism ensure events run smoothly, safely, and successfully.

Working at height, handling machinery, and navigating busy public areas requires expertise and vigilance. The team follows strict safety procedures and supports each other to deliver the best results.

In addition to maintaining the town, the team also offers their expertise to local businesses, organisations and community groups for payment. This generates additional income while helping others keep their spaces attractive, safe, and well-maintained.
