Eastbourne will receive a further £20 million of Levelling Up money to help regenerate the town following the announcement of the budget by Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt.

The money will come from the £1.5 billion Long Term Plan for Towns and was announced by the Chancellor in his budget on Wednesday, March 6.

Over the next ten years, the funding will be used by local leaders, including the MP and councils, on local priorities from high street or seafront regeneration to community safety or transport links.
