The proposals for cycle tracks and bridges at Portfield and Shopwyke seem to be at the expense of the existing cycle route from Tangmere to Chichester. This is very well used route but no attempt has been made to enhance the pavement at Westhampnett. No off road cycle route was included in the Rolls Royce or recent housing developments. If a bridge is provided at the Portfield roundabout, as proposed, where does the cycle route go on the western side? How does it get to the secondary schools and to the city centre?

I am only supporting the development of the rest of this site for housing if it is really unavoidable to have more housing developments on the edge of Chichester (and in Oving Parish). Of all available sites this seems to me to be the most suitable. Wildlife corridors linking the South Downs and Pagham Harbour are important as well as footpaths/cycle routes that can be safely used to access all areas, not just for recreation but for routes into Chichester and out to the surrounding villages and countryside.

A bridge will always be offputting to a section of walkers and cyclists, and to a section of the disabled. And some of the proposed bridges are only designed to the standard of a footbridge (rather than shared foot and cycle bridge) and/or with bends so tight that they do not accommodate non-standard cycles.
