The City Council oversees essential local services, including allotments, benches, bike racks, community grants, and cultural events such as the Chichester Gala and Remembrance Service at Litten Gardens. Additionally, The Council House, home to the historic The Council Chamber, Assembly Room and Old Court Room, are available for hire and serves as a venue for weddings and ceremonial occasions.

In 2024, Chichester City Council introduced its City Council Plan, prioritising environmental improvements, community engagement, infrastructure development, and heritage preservation. As we mark one year since its adoption, this meeting provides residents with the perfect chance to understand its progress and future goals.
