FIVE new cycling and walking routes could be built if new plans are given the green light.

West Sussex County Council is seeking feedback on the new proposals which aim to improve accessibility across the county.

The potential locations have been identified in the council’s Strategic Transport Investment Programme (STIP), which develops transport schemes that are needed to support sustainable economic growth.

As well as helping to improve the health, wellbeing and safety of people across West Sussex, it is hoped that improving facilities for walkers and cyclists will support the local economy, reduce congestion and carbon emissions.

The proposals are at:

  • The B2144, Oving Road, Chichester, between A27/Oving Road West and Needlemakers
  • Three routes in Lancing and Sompting: the Red Route: A27/Busticle Lane in the north to A259/Western Road in the south; Orange Route: A27/Grinstead Lane in the north to A259/South Street in the south, and the Green Route: Lambleys Lane/Upper Brighton Road in the west to A2025 Grinstead Lane/Crabtree Lane in the east
  • The A259 Shoreham to Brighton, from A259 / East Street in the west to the county border in the east.

Information about each proposal can be found at https://yourvoice.westsussex.gov.uk/cycling-improvements where people can provide their feedback until April 5, 2022.
