Heritage Centre appeal backed

EFFORTS to build a new £1.6 million heritage centre in Arundel have received the support of local MP Nick Herbert.

Plans were approved by Arun District Council in March and efforts are now focused on fundraising for the project.

The Arundel and South Downs MP said: "Arundel is a special town with a rich and varied history.

"I'm supporting this project not just because I live in the town, but because a museum would be a marvellous resource for West Sussex and for the thousands of visitors who come here.
