Worthing town centre and seafront to be refreshed and refurbished
Released: Monday, 11 August 2025
We're launching an intensive refreshment and refurbishment programme to help make Worthing town centre and seafront more attractive to visitors and residents.
More than £150,000 will be invested in work along the promenade and in the shopping precinct to improve the look and feel of the area.
It will include widespread repairs and repainting of benches, railings and bins as well as the refurbishment of some seafront shelters.
Among the projects will be the completion of the remaining sections of stained glass windows on the pier and the painting of the Guildbourne Centre steps.
There will be new direction posts installed to help visitors to find their way around the town centre and increased publicity in the run-up to Christmas to encourage people to spend more time there this December.
There will also be a renewed focus on simple steps that will improve the overall look of the town, such as the jetwashing of paving, the removal of graffiti and the tidying of verges.
Officers will organise and lead these projects but there will be an opportunity for residents and businesses to get involved as well, to increase the amount of work that can be done.
Cllr Sophie Cox, the leader of Worthing Borough Council, said:
“We're keen to support our amazing businesses as much as we can and they've told us that a little extra bit of TLC for the town centre and seafront could go a long way.
“We have very limited funds to work with, but by focusing our resources we think we can have a great impact by freshening up the town centre and promenade for the benefit of the whole community.”
Information on work being done across the town will be shared on our Facebook page, along with details of how volunteers can get involved with some projects.
