What a great tonic
They have shown great perseverance in raising the funds from the HLF with the support of large sections of the Arundel population; I have supported the project from the start and in a small way helped behind the scenes to secure from Arun District Council £300,000 initial funding for the centre and an additional £85,000 for new toilets.
The centre will be an educational resource, a tourist hub and a great driver for economic activity in the town. Combined with the Arundel Visitor Strategy group under the excellent chairmanship of James Stewart, it provides great opportunities to propel Arundel to a higher visibility in the south east tourist economy.
