A £45m funding boost to support councils unlock land for thousands of homes has been announced by the government and Brighton is set to get a chunk of the money.

The Land Release Fund will give £335,000 to the town, to divert a public sewer and make an electricity substation and highways improvements.

This will allow about 30 new homes to be built.

Local councils must provide 160,000 homes by 2020 and the fund helps them overcome barriers which would otherwise make land unusable for development.
