Mid Sussex District Council and West Sussex County Council have agreed a new Mid Sussex Growth Deal running from 2025 to 2030. The agreement follows the success of the 2018–2023 deal, which unlocked more than £67 million in public funding and around £330 million in private investment. Cllr Robert Eggleston, leader of Mid Sussex District Council, said: "The renewed Growth Deal is about investing in the future of Mid Sussex and ensuring our communities continue to thrive. "By working closely with West Sussex County Council and our partners, we can support local businesses, improve connectivity and deliver the infrastructure and community facilities needed to create vibrant places that benefit residents now and in the future." Cllr Yvonne Gravely, cabinet member for economy and skills at West Sussex County Council, said: "Building on the success of the previous Growth Deal, this renewed partnership will help secure investment, deliver vital infrastructure and support businesses to grow and innovate."
