Worcester City Council has submitted a bid to the Government’s Digital Planning Improvement Fund to upgrade and modernise the city’s planning services.
The project, called “Worcester Goes Digital,” aims to make planning information easier for residents and businesses to access, while supporting faster and more transparent decision-making.
Cllr Jessie Jagger, Co-Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group, said:
“This is a fantastic step forward. Our planning team already does excellent work, and this project will give them the tools to make services even more user-friendly and accessible for the public. I’m proud that our Liberal Democrat team’s push for smarter, more open planning services has helped secure this application. Now we’re waiting for the outcome, and we’re hopeful Worcester will get the support it deserves.”
The funding decision is expected later this year.
This work reflects the Liberal Democrat team’s wider commitment to modernising council services and ensuring residents have better, easier access to the information they need
