Partnership sets out plans for creating safer Adur and Worthing communities

Efforts are being stepped up to help residents feel safer, while making all sections of the community feel more included as part of a long-term plan in the wake of the COVID pandemic.

The new Adur and Worthing Safer Communities Partnership Strategy (2021-2024), which has been developed by the Adur and Worthing Safer Communities Partnership and is informed by local intelligence, sets out six key strategic priorities.

These are reducing the harm caused by serious organised and acquisitive crime, increasing safety for vulnerable adults and children, improving pathways out of offending and reoffending, increasing community cohesion and reducing antisocial behaviour and hate crime, reducing public place violent crime with a focus on youth safety, and tackling social inequality and the drivers of crime.

TOWN HALL CAR PARK TO CLOSE AS WORK BEGINS ON NEW HEALTH CENTRE

Work is to begin soon on a new state-of-the-art £34m health centre in Worthing which will be a one-stop shop for a wide range of health care issues.
The Worthing Integrated Care Centre (WICC) will combine doctors, mental health specialists, outpatients, health visitors, chemists and services for families and children. It is to be located on the car park at the back of the Town Hall and would see the existing Central Clinic site demolished to make way for the new facility.

A new multi-storey car park for 186 cars is also to be built next to the new centre. The building project for the health centre and car park is to be funded by Worthing Borough Council through borrowing to the tune of £34m to be recouped through rent and income.
