Pioneers in local government partnering, Adur District & Worthing Borough Councils have been working together since 2007 to deliver high quality front line services to residents, businesses, investors and visitors.

Our Councils maintain their political individuality, but working together improves efficiency, reduces costs and allows for the organisation to become increasingly agile in its approach to change.

Platforms for our Places (www.adur-worthing.gov.uk/platforms-for-our-places) builds on our success, helping us frame conversations with our partners about how we shape and develop Adur and Worthing into the future.

While we will continue to provide safety nets and good universal services, we are creating platforms upon which others will do great things that contribute to the long-term health and prosperity of our places and communities.

Our innovative approach is recognised by our peers - with the Councils shortlisted for both the LGC Council of the Year and MJ Local Authority of the Year honours in 2020.
