Through its Conservation and Development Group, the Society is planning to join with local authorities to maintain the footpaths and twittens in the Parish. First, the Society will document every one by putting them onto a definitive map. Then the Society will work with West Sussex County Council, Arun District Council and Felpham Parish Council to make sure that the footpaths are maintained to a high standard. Please note – this does not include footways. A footway is the name given to a path that runs alongside a road – otherwise known as a pavement.

Through its Conservation and Development Group, the Society is planning to document every flint wall in the Parish. Having done that, the purpose - then - is to protect them from destruction. There are many ways in which flint walls can be destroyed – unsympathetic development, carelessness, or wilful destruction by people for whom an ancient flint wall might be an inconvenience. It is not the Society’s intention to rebuild or maintain the flint walls – that is because most (if not all), are in private ownership.
