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.

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.

Peaceful Gathering outside the Town Hall tomorrow by Hope not Hate
Following the exposure by Hope not Hate that Worthing Borough Council Councillor Tim Wills belongs to Patriotic Alternative - described by Hope Not Hate as a racist fascist organisation, residents in Worthing have organised a gathering outside Worthing Town Hall at 1pm tomorrow Saturday 9th October. We say firmly we reject fascism in our town and that Mr Wills should be allowed to merely remain as an independent councillor. It is a co-incidence that tomorrow also marks the anniversary of when Worthing drove out Oswald Mosley from our town on what became known as 'The Battle of South Street' . 87 Years ago this Saturday in Worthing Town, local residents stood up against the face of fascism when Oswald Mosley came to town. Worthing was the first town in the country to elect a fascist councillor; British Union of Fascists member and councillor, Charles Bentinck Budd for Broadwater. On the morning of the Fascist rally, the words "No more war. Damn Mosley. Fight Fascism" were written in tar on Worthing Town Hall. As the day progressed and anti-fascists gathered to oppose, events unfolded in what was to become known as the Battle of South Street https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_South_Street. Worthing said no to fascists in 1934 as Worthing says No to Fascists in 2021. There will be speakers at tomorrow's event drawing on the lessons of the past.Read More
