West Sussex County Council is considering proposals to introduce a new subsidised service for Chichester city centre.

Under the proposals, the existing 46/47 service from Parklands and the 50 service from Graylingwell would be combined into one higher frequency bus route into Chichester city centre. The new service would also be extended to Minerva Heights, providing improved connections for new residential communities in the west of Chichester and Graylingwell.

The initiative, partly funded by the development at Minerva Heights, aims to ensure bus services remain sustainable in the longer term, while helping to reduce congestion in Chichester city centre.

For most passengers, the proposed changes would mean a more reliable and accessible service. However, some passengers, particularly in Parklands, may face reduced frequency or longer walks to alternative stops.

You can find out more about the proposed changes and the list of affected bus stop locations in the document below:
