Works start on Wednesday 18 May at Poulters Lane and a section of the connecting South Farm Road in

Essential road resurfacing work is scheduled to start soon on the A2032 at Poulters Lane and a section of the connecting South Farm Road in Worthing.
The surface in Poulters Lane is showing signs of significant weakening: the new one will be smoother, which will reduce road noise, and more resilient to potholes. A section of the adjacent South Farm Road will also be resurfaced, up to the Ardsheal Road junction.
The project is scheduled to start on 18 May. Hours of work will generally be between 8pm and 6am from 18 May to 21 May and 23 May to 28 May, all subject to factors such as severe weather.

The coat of hopes is coming to Worthing!

Free public event on Monday 16th May 6.30pm to 8pm at Coast Café BN11 2FG.
All welcome to come and hear the story of the beautiful coat.

Barbara Keal, the artist behind the coat of hopes says:
'The ‘coat of hopes’ is a patchwork coat made by hundreds of people and worn by hundreds of people on a 900km walk/pilgrimage from Newhaven to COP26 the UN Climate Summit in Glasgow. Each patch is a piece of blanket into which has been sewn the griefs, remembrances, prayers and hopes of an individual or group for their local landscape in the face of climate breakdown. The coat is accompanied by a song which is traditionally sung whenever a new person puts it on. When the coat is put on it invites the wearer to feel its weight and warmth and to step briefly into being the protagonist in the climate breakdown story, it may also invite the wearer to speak their own griefs, remembrances, prayers or hopes for their own local area.'
