Purpose

As part of West Sussex County
Council’s Phase 2 Active Travel Fund (ATF) submission to the
Department for Transport (DfT), a proposal was put
forward to introduce a contraflow cycle route along Cross Street
and subsequently a section of Railway Approach, Worthing, with the
aim of linking existing cycling routes and improving
provision.
 
The proposal follows
consultation with wider stakeholders including local councillors,
bus operators and the Police.  Following
Active Travel England’s confirmation of the bid’s
success, and stakeholder engagement, a proposed design was
developed and sent for formal Traffic Regulation Order (TRO)
consultation in January 2023, during which objections were received
from nine members of the public.
 
The local County Councillor
John Turley and Sussex Police were consulted and expressed no
concerns or objections to the proposal being advertised.
 

Decision

The Cabinet Member for Highways, and
Transport, having considered the objections, approves that the
Director of Law and Assurance makes the Traffic Regulation Order
associated with the scheme as advertised.
