Project Overview

WSCC in partnership with Lancing Parish Council are working to improve the existing shared use path that borders Lancing Beach Green.

Works will shortly commence to separate cyclists and pedestrians along the popular shared use path, which borders Lancing Beach Green. The new 3 metre wide cycle path will improve safety, continuity and usability by separating cyclists and pedestrians outside the busy Perch café area.

Works will include the following:

• Converting the existing shared use path to two separate, segregated routes compliant with national design guidance.
• Installation of additional cycle facilities, including inclusive user group cycle stands and cycle aids.
• Providing priority for cyclists at side junctions along the new segregated route.
• Increased awareness of existing interconnecting Public Rights of Way (PROW) network and improvements for mobility challenged users.
• Relocation and improved accessibility of several memorial benches situated on the Green.
• Resurfacing the poorly conditioned surface of the existing path for improved usability by pedestrians and future lifespan, subject to securing additional funding.

Please see the detailed design drawings for further information.

Phasing Plan

The map below shows how the scheme is being delivered in a phased approach with Phase 1 commencing outside the Perch, Phase 2 and 3 running in parallel where the new cycle path ties back into the existing path and Phase 4 finishing at the bandstand area. The contractor’s storage and welfare area will be securely fenced and contained behind the tyre shop. Access to all businesses, the public toilets and along the main path will be maintained at all times.
