Kingston Buci was an electoral division of West Sussex in the United Kingdom, and returned one member to sit on West Sussex County Council. It was abolished as a result of boundary changes for the 2017 election.
Extent and History
[edit]The division covers the neighbourhood of Kingston-by-Sea, which forms part of the town of Shoreham-by-Sea. The seat has been won by the Conservative Party at each election held since the seat was created in 2004. In April 2013 Paul Graysmark defected from the Conservative Party to UKIP, making the defence in 2013 a defence for UKIP.
It falls entirely within the un-parished area of Shoreham-by-Sea and comprises the following district wards: the north part of St. Mary's Ward, Southlands Ward and the north part of Southwick Green Ward.
