A conference is being held to discuss how to spend millions of pounds in a deprived Sussex area.

Local service providers, property developers, Brighton and Hove City Council representatives and staff from the government regeneration project eb4u (east brighton for you) will meet to discuss future projects.

The Government is ploughing £47.2 million into East Brighton, which is recognises as an area of deprivation.

The scheme began three years ago and today a conference will work on a master plan.

Graham Maunders, project director for eb4u, said: "eb4u is unique in the way residents work with professionals and local service providers in making important decisions and shaping the future of the area. This conference is an excellent forum for everyone involved to share ideas and seek joint funding opportunities."
