West Sussex County Council is seeking feedback from residents and businesses on plans to improve sustainable transport at the Victoria Business Park in Burgess Hill.
The work’s part of the Place and Connectivity Programme, aimed at making cycling and public transport easier and more appealing across the town.
The county council and Mid Sussex District Council have already delivered more than 15 kilometres of new and upgraded walking and cycling routes, along with better bus stops and public spaces.
This next phase now focuses on improving infrastructure within and around Victoria Business Park, one of Mid Sussex’s key employment hubs, to support active travel and economic growth.
The suggested upgrades feature:
- Widened shared-use footways and cycleways
- Raised tables at key junctions to slow traffic and improve safety
- New pedestrian crossings with refuge islands
- Dropped kerbs and tactile paving for better accessibility
- Improved bus infrastructure
- Parking improvements
Cllr Garry Wall, Cabinet Member for Economy and Skills at West Sussex County Council, said “Victoria Business Park plays a vital role in our local economy. The infrastructure upgrades we’re proposing build on the feedback received during the initial public engagement for the Place and Connectivity Programme and serve as a connection between the town centre to major commercial and residential developments in the area.
“These improvements will make it easier and safer for people to walk, cycle or take the bus, helping businesses become more sustainable and promoting growth in local job opportunities which will support the aim of our Economic Strategy to boost productivity growth, investment and innovation within the county."
