Dozens of new pieces of public art could be built around a Sussex town.

Following the commission of the £70,000 "Sunclouds" at Worthing's Splash Point, The Argus can reveal that councillors want to see far more similar new works dotted around the town.

The move has been backed by leading artists in the town, who believe it could attract thousands of new tourists and help build a new cultural reputation for Worthing.

The council's cabinet have already held talks about creating a series of works from Splash Point to Goring.

Individual works, created by a variety of artists, would be dotted at regular intervals along the promenade.

There are also moves to install pieces of art in the town's main shopping areas and in parks.

Funding is now being applied for to pay for the art and commissions could be made later this year.
