Submitted by Geoff Farrell on 3 March 2017 - 1:00pm

 

The 300+ routes that were submitted by the various West Sussex Cycle Forums in 2016 as part of the WSCC Walking and Cycling Strategy are now on the WSCC web site - https://westsussex.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=d70789d2290549628cbd877f38f7eac6

This will enable anyone to reference these desired routes when planning applications come in or when developers begin discussions with planners.  The S106/ CiL funding process will be simpler when getting the routes done.

Closed cycle lane is reinstated!

Submitted by Geoff Farrell on 31 January 2017 - 9:41pm

A cycle lane that was closed in 2011 has been reinstated. The cycle contra-flow in Park Road, East Grinstead was closed while the weak railway bridge was being repaired - but the temporary bollards remained in place until 2015. The status of the road confused drivers and cyclists. Ros from Mason Close said At last! This is the one of the most useful cycle lanes in East Grinstead. For those using Worth Way with bikes laden with panniers, it avoids pushing a bike up the railway station steps. It also gives access to the Imberhorne area avoiding the A22.

Ride around the town of East Grinstead - a town choked with motor vehicles with little or no cycle infrastructure.

Inspired by the West Sussex Cycle Summit and frustrated at the lack of safe space for cycling in the town, local residents Paul Brown and Ros Furley have started the East Grinstead cycle forum.

Progress update on WSCC Cycling and Walking Strategy

Submitted by Geoff Farrell on 4 November 2016 - 2:35pm

This update takes the story on from the adoption by WSCC of the Cycling and Walking Strategy.   That was in July 2016.   Since then, WSCC has met with the WSCF to set out the means by which funding can be obtained; to set out the process to establish priorities in selecting routes to put forward for funding; and discuss the ways in which WSCC and WSCF can work together.    Specifically - the local LEP (ours is Coast to Capital http://www.coast2capital.org.uk) will soon be asking for submissions and it is imperative that routes are put forward.
