The new leader of Greater Brighton is backing four multi-million pound bids to government for major projects in the region.
The move will see restoration of a landmark, a town centre 'revived', and will help promote cycling to create a cultural mile.
Cllr Mac Cafferty, who was voted into the chair of Greater Brighton last week, told the government all four were strong bids which were supported by all members of the City Region.
They are:
-
An £18.5m project from Mid Sussex District Council to revitalise the town centre of Burgess Hill creating 172 new homes, commercial space, new walk and cycle ways and a digital hub
-
A £9.5m bid from Brighton & Hove City Council to support the restoration of Brighton’s famous Madeira Terrace to help reestablish the city’s eastern seafront as a culture and leisure destination
-
Almost £20m from Worthing Borough Council to support the town’s cultural mile including projects to enhance the Museum and Art Gallery and revive the iconic Lido.
-
A £20m project from Arun District Council to deliver a leisure cycleway route from Littlehampton to Arundel down the western bank of the River Arun and a commuter route between Arundel and Ford station
Cllr Mac Cafferty said:
"We are working on several ground-breaking green growth projects and completely committed to innovating our way to a net zero economy.
‘We are also celebrated for our creative industries and have powerful opportunities to grow this sector.
"Together we will make a compelling case for government support when we speak in one voice."
