The Government is being asked to back Worthing’s bid to use creative and cultural industries to help kickstart efforts to rejuvenate the town centre and lead a post-pandemic economic recovery.Worthing Borough Council has bid for £10.5m from the government’s Levelling Up Fund, aimed at schemes to regenerate communities.
In a separate move the leader of the Council, Cllr Daniel Humphreys and MP for Worthing West, Sir Peter Bottomley are to meet Robert Jenrick, the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government to press the borough’s case for funding.
The Fund money would be used to create creative and cultural spaces through the borough for designers, artists, digital companies and even spaces for gamers to enjoy. Council-backed Citizens’ Wifi will give thousands of residents access to the ultrafast broadband via a number of community spaces.
The Council also wants to investigate the restoration of key buildings in the borough to preserve their historical significance and architectural interest.
