A multimillion pound project to radically improve health services for tens of thousands of Worthing residents has taken a big step forward.
After months of detailed work behind the scenes, Worthing Borough Council has formally submitted a planning application to create a health hub on the civic centre car park in Stoke Abbott Road.
Cllr Val Turner, Worthing Borough Council's Executive Member for Health & Wellbeing, said:
“I'm pleased to see the progress on this crucial project which could transform the way tens of thousands of residents receive healthcare.
“Bringing together services onto one site like this could not only make it easier for those accessing care but also give our fantastic NHS workers state-of-the-art facilities to provide better integrated care.
“It could also be great news for the taxpayer, making better use out of an under-utilised town centre site while freeing up other publicly-owned land for other uses. It's now over to the planning committee to make a decision on the application.”
