St. Nicolas is an electoral ward in Adur, West Sussex, England, covering part of the built-up area around Shoreham-by-Sea. It is largely residential with a mix of housing, local shops and schools, and benefits from good transport links to Brighton and Worthing. Geographically it sits close to the estuary of the River Adur, the coast and the rising chalk of the South Downs, giving residents easy access to both seaside and countryside recreation.
The ward’s character reflects the wider town’s maritime and light-industrial past - visible in the nearby Shoreham Harbour and the aviation history around Shoreham Airport - while its present economy is largely local services and commuting. Socially it has a mixed-age community with active local groups and events, small independent businesses and green spaces that contribute to a strong local identity.
