Have your say on proposals to improve cycling and walking routes between Fishbourne and Chichester
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The proposals form part of WSCC’s transport strategy, which aims to make walking, wheeling and cycling a more attractive option for shorter trips. It’s hoped that, by encouraging active travel, the council will go some way towards reducing congestion on our busy road network, improve air quality, and make the county a safer, more pleasant place to live, work and commute.
The proposed developments in Chichester are divided into three sections. These are:

Cllr Joy Dennis, Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport at West Sussex County Council, said: “These exciting proposals are at an early stage, so we would like to hear from people and organisations who may be affected by the scheme to help us shape the final designs. If we decide to progress the scheme, these designs would then be presented as part of a further, formal consultation at a later date.”
