Funding Boost for Midhurst and Petworth Community Projects

Midhurst will receive £20,000 for the Revitalising Northern Gateway Project, which aims to improve the northern entrance to the town. The funding is said to enhance accessibility and functionality, focusing on creating a more welcoming space for residents and visitors.

In Petworth, £3,000 has been allocated for the installation of dropped kerbs in Market Square. This project is intended to improve pedestrian access and mobility, particularly for those with disabilities or using pushchairs.

These projects are part of a wider initiative by the National Park Authority to support local communities through infrastructure improvements funded by CIL contributions from developers.

The program focuses on projects that enhance access, address infrastructure needs, and improve public spaces across Sussex and Hampshire.
