Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

There needs to be a specific plan for provision of clearly-defined cycle routes. I cannot find one in the documents.

Change suggested by respondent:

The cycle route between Selsey and Chichester is inadequate. The link from Selsey to the Ferry only exists in the form of a siubstantial diversion via the caravan site and the Medmerry perimeter track, past the waste water treatment plant, to the Ferry. The route from the Ferry onwards involves a near-useless track alongside Pagham Harbour. It is too narrow for safe mixing of cyclists and pedestrians. Much of the route beyond that point involves some complex navigation along tracks and unclassified roads. In view of the fact the cycling along the B2145 is both risky and highly problematic for other road users (and especially emergency vehicles), it's time that specific plans were incorporated in the Plan for each such key cycle route in the CDC area.
