Views are being sought on the possible introduction of a 20mph limit on residential streets in Worthing.

West Sussex County Council has begun the first stage of their consultation into the plans.

A letter will be posted to households and business in the town, asking them to tick a “yes”or “no” box.

The responses will influence decision-makers on whether to take the plans forward.

The deadline for responses is July 31.

A public meeting has also been set for May 27 between 6pm and 7.30pm at Worthing Library Lecture Theatre, Richmond Road.

Tickets will be available at Worthing Library reception from May 6 and limited to two per person.

Paul High, chairman of the Worthing county local committee, said: “We must decide if more time and money should be committed towards investigating a 20mph limit in greater detail.”
