Council cleans up car parks amid Pride in Worthing initiative
The council has been sprucing up car parks in Worthing amid an initiative to make the town ‘cleaner, greener and more welcoming’.
Worthing Borough Council (WBC) said its car parks team has been focusing on ‘making our parking areas cleaner, tidier and safer for motorists and their passengers’.
The team has been visiting the town’s ground level car parks to ‘cut back undergrowth, remove overhanging branches, trim shrubbery and generally improve the appearance of the sites’.
The authority shared photos (attached) of works taking place in Goring Road car park behind the shopping parade, as well as the ‘newly-tidied’ Lyndhurst Road car park.
A WBC spokesperson said: “This is one of the many actions we're delivering through our new Pride in Worthing initiative, working with partners, businesses and the community to help make Worthing cleaner, greener and more welcoming.
“Alongside this work, we're investing in improvements to our town centre and seafront, while developing a wider action plan that will bring together existing work, identify where further improvements are needed and help us agree shared priorities with residents, businesses and community groups.”
WBC leader Councillor Caroline Baxter previously said: “Pride in Worthing is about bringing everyone together to make that happen and backing it with long-term investment and action. I’m inspired by the drive and passion of our community to see our town thrive and am committed to doing everything I can do to support that.”
