Newhaven Enterprise Zone
Town Centre
Newhaven has been shortlisted for the next round of a £675 million Government fund. Newhaven is joined by 50 other towns through to the second phase of the Future High Street Fund to transform high streets, out of around 300 towns that applied.
This bid is the latest step in Lewes District Council’s regeneration plans for the town, following the designation of Newhaven as an Enterprise Zone in 2017 and £30 million of investment attracted since then. The council will work up detailed project proposals for submission in April 2020 based on their initial plans. These will focus on the changing nature of the town centre and the transition of Newhaven’s high street to a more valuable economic and social role.
