TOWN HALL CAR PARK TO CLOSE AS WORK BEGINS ON NEW HEALTH CENTRE

Work is to begin soon on a new state-of-the-art £34m health centre in Worthing which will be a one-stop shop for a wide range of health care issues.
The Worthing Integrated Care Centre (WICC) will combine doctors, mental health specialists, outpatients, health visitors, chemists and services for families and children. It is to be located on the car park at the back of the Town Hall and would see the existing Central Clinic site demolished to make way for the new facility.
