More than £7 million is being put into a scheme to make buildings in Worthing more environmentally friendly.

It will be used to fund a network of heat pumps to generate renewable energy.

Earlier plans to harness power from the town’s sewers were dropped due to the cost.

Among the first buildings to get them will be the town hall, Worthing Museum and the Connaught Theatre.

If all goes to plan, the network should be up and running in 2025 - with an energy centre to be built at the multi-storey car park in Worthing High Street.
