Cycleway supported

Seafront train operator Darrell Hardy has said his business can exist with cyclists along the Bognor Regis promenade.

Mr Hardy said he was sure that the impending creation of a cycleway between Gloucester Road and Outram Road in Felpham would not cause any problems for his business.

It is planned to enable cyclists to mingle with pedestrians along that half-mile stretch of seafront.

"We've been living with cyclists all these years," he said, "because everyone cycles along the seafront anyway. We have not had any major incidents with them. I don't think we will with the new scheme as long as there's not a mass of people suddenly cycling along there as idiots."

But he called for plenty of signs to be installed along the route to ensure visitors were aware they would be sharing the prom with cyclists.
