Active travel, community health and well being, climate change and safer roads.
As far as I am aware, West Sussex County Council will be doing nothing the help bring about any of our needs for active travel, health and well being, climate change and safer roads by addressing motor vehicle usage; at least not in the foreseeable future. That makes some of the work that the Borough…
Brighton Bike Share for Worthing – No plans for safer roads
Brighton bikes are coming to Worthing! Here is the catch: we can get hire bikes but can’t get safe cycle routes. Adur and Worthing Borough Council have a Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP). It has been completed and feeds into the West Sussex County Council Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan. The plan for…
Will West Sussex ever get cycle lanes?
If you live in West Sussex you will be aware that the county has so far managed to get into this new century without following the the rest of the counties of Great Britain that have, to varying degrees, put cycling on their agendas. Whilst the country may lag behind European states by at least…
It was fun while it lasted
Over the course of the last 14 years I am not sure quite what I have achieved. There have been beneficiaries from my investment although I don’t know who has gained the most. It is probably HMRC. The landlord did OK, as did the local authority, hopefully my staff gained more than just their wages,…

Are you proud to be British?
Yesterday morning I needed all the courage and motivation that I could find. The thermometer read 5°C, the wind was howling and the rain was lashing down. I rolled down the road with it stinging my face to meet my brother. He was late so I took refuge in a bus shelter hoping he would…
A celebration ride and the odd thing about cycling in Worthing
As you may have seen in the paper, last Sunday was another emotional but at the same time joyous day for cyclist in Worthing. Worthing Excelsior Cycling Club arranged a memorial ride to celebrate the life and influence of Don Lock on the individuals that had the luck and pleasure to meet him and rest…
West Sussex County Council will use cycling to rejuvinate the countys image
Last night I attended a meeting hosted by WSCC in partnership with the South Downs National Park Authority to launch their campaign to bring high spending visitors from London to the county. They have identified cycling as the key element to do this. Look at what Sky have done, they too sort an activity that…
