Develop the Brownfield sites in Worthing
For several years we have seen several of our key sites sit and deteriorate. For far too long Teville Gate, The aquarena, Union place and many other key areas across the town centre have gone to ruin. With the right investment and plans, from key partners , we the undersigned would like to see 2017 become pivotal in the starts of these works. We urge you to approve plans for the new Homes at the Aquarena site, Push for the mixed use plans to be put through on Union place. Produce a detailed plan for our key gateway to the town Teville Gate and continue to lobby West Sussex county council to invest in improving and upgrading our town centre.
Why is this important?
Not only will this ease the housing burden on our town with the potential for several hundred new homes it will improve the general outlook of the town to visitors and tourists. Teville gate has sat in ruins for 20 years and is in dire need of investment. The aquarena site is again another key gateway to the town and new housing will improve this area. Union place could become a new key entertainment hub with cinema complex, eateries and some housing. Not only will this create jobs but will also help those who own business in the town centre with the extra influx of potential customers and newer, improved retailers. We have already seen the potential new brands coming into the Montague Centre and want to continue to see an influx of brand names. These names will hopefully help our locals to choose to shop local as opposed to spending in Chichester, Horsham, Brighton and other towns.This will allow us to employ more people and continue to support the local economy. As a town we have huge potential and we would like the council to start improving plans so we can all work and aspire to becoming a better Worthing
