The Littlehampton Harbour Advisory Body (LHAB) was established in late 2020 as part of the Board’s commitment to improve relations with our stakeholders and ensure that all user groups are given an equal platform in which to voice their views for the betterment of the Harbour.
The group includes 8 to 16 appointed representatives and aims to meet just before each Board Meeting (but must meet a minimum of twice a year).
The group’s Chair, Nick Holness, can be contacted at harbour.advisory.body@littlehampton.org.uk
Minutes of past meetings are available here. Their Terms of Reference can be downloaded here.
