Calling all businesses…please could you help?

Monday 4^th - Wednesday 13^th May

Vehicles trying to access the park will find temporary traffic lights in Marlborough Road, as UK Power Networks (UKPN) upgrade power for Addev/Parafix’s new headquarters (previously the Hawksley and Tenkay buildings).

WORKS UPDATE

Addev/Parafix and LBP have been working together for a quite sometime to investigate all power options to try to avoid the need to dig up the new surface in Marlborough Road. Unfortunately, the only feasible option for this essential power upgrade,  is to connect to the substation on Aspen Court in front of Salesmark. 

Addev/Parafix has already completed their onsite excavation works to ensure UKPN’s works programme is delivered as scheduled.

On Monday 27^th April UKPN will commence the site works at Aspen Court to prepare this side ready too.

Addev/Parafix and LBP have been working with UKPN to minimise the disruption from these works and pre-empt any issues that may arise.

With temporary traffic light queuing areas outside AMC to the north and Salesmark to the south, LBP is concerned that HGVs entering from the Triangle to access Chartwell Road, Marlborough Road South & East, Spencer Road and Blenheim Road, may end up blocking the access to businesses in Commerce Way, Peter Road and even back-up onto Western Road as they queue at the lights. The same applies to HGVS queuing to exit the park via the Triangle may block the entrance to Chartwell Road.

NB: LBP has explained there is no need for signage in Chartwell Road as this is one-way.

HGV REDIRECTION

Please could all businesses notify their suppliers and drivers that during these works, it’s best for HGVs to only use the Triangle if accessing Commerce Way, Peter Road and businesses north of Addev/Parafix at 25 Marlborough Road.

By redirecting HGVs via Winston Road during these works, we hope to minimise the queues and enable the works to be undertaken quickly, so your help would be much appreciated!

LBP has worked with UKPN to replan the works to minimise the time that disruption will take place on the roadway, and it was hoped that no temporary traffic lights would be needed during the 4^th May to 9^th May, whilst they excavate a trench along the west pavement to reach the substation. Unfortunately, UKPN have concluded the temporary traffic lights are essential for the whole period of works including the pavement works. LBP will however talk to the Works Crew once on site, to see if there is any way we can reduce the number of days that the traffic lights are in place and will update you asap.

PARKING & PAVEMENT SUSPENSION

During these works, parking will be suspended on the west side of Marlborough Road from the side entrance to Aspen Court down to the Sussex Transport’s entrance. Pedestrian access will also be suspended here to enable the works. Parking on the east side of Marlborough Road outside AMC will also be suspended to enable placement of the lights, signage and queuing area.

LBP been working with Adur & Worthing Councils to free up spaces in the Marlborough Road Car Park, so all staff are welcome to use this free parking provision.

PLANNED POWER CUT

Addev/Parafix have funded the power jointing work to take place on Sunday 10^th May, as this will require the power to be switched off for the surrounding businesses who are connected to the Aspen Court Substation. The power will be restored by 3pm on Sunday 10^th May and LBP has spoken to all the businesses that this will impact.

HOMETIME

LBP is concerned the temporary traffic lights will reduce access as staff leave the park to go home at the end of each day. The last thing we want is for everyone to have to sit in queues waiting to get off the park. 

If possible, staggered staff leaving times and alternative transport options during this period would really help ease the congestion.  LBP asks that everyone please remain patient during these unavoidable works. Thank you.

If you have any questions please contact LBP on 07584 503729.

On Sunday, ITV viewers were treated to an inside view of Triad Timber in Peter Road, as part of the storyline for Series 6 Episode 1 of their hit detective drama 'Grace'.

After covering the LBP sign to conceal the location, the episode showed Police taking evidence in a ransacked version of Triad's office and we promise it doesn't normally look like this.

Then there were views of Triad's workshop as Police interviewed a factory worker with Triad's roof frame in the backdrop.

The filming in Peter Road actually took place on Saturday 17th May 2025 and LBP would like to thank Les and Stephen Fuller from Triad, for allowing this filming to take place. For more information on Triad Timber please click here

It really was a win, win all round, as ITV kindly donated £250 to Turning Tides, LBP's Charity of the Year, as a thank you for LBP's help with the filming arrangements. 

This is the second time that ITV has featured Peter Road in this drama, as back in October 2020 they spent the day filming just across the road. For more details of this earlier filming please click here

We are pleased to confirm that Adur & Worthing Councils secured funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund to help support active travel in our area.

LBP has been working with the Project Team who have now delivered the first stage of these improvements, two banks of brand new public access cycle racks on LBP

The first on the junction of Blenheim Road and the second on the junction of Chartwell Road. 

LBP would like to thank Karyn Picker - Neighbourhood Project Officer and the Adur & Worthing Engineers for their delivery of these great additions to the park, along with West Sussex Highways for supporting this work on their land. 

These new additions compliment the existing public access cycle racks available opposite Chartwell Business Centre in Chartwell Road.

Please feel free to start using all the cycle racks safe in the knowledge they are covered by LBP's CCTV cameras, to help improve safety for cyclists on the park.

LBP is now working with the Project Team on the second stage of improvements,  which will see wayfinding signage installed along the route from Lancing Train Station to the park, helping to encourage more active travel.

The next major project for LBP is to build a new LBP CCTV Network, to utilise new technologies and ensure the system is fit for purpose for years to come.

LBP has been preparing for this project over a number of years and has ringfenced income to enable the full replacement of the LBP CCTV Network, infrastructure and cameras to provide the best possible security for our businesses.

We have planned for the existing LBP CCTV Network to continue to operate until the new system has been installed and fully tested, to provide a seamless switch over to the new system.

In line with LBP's ethos of transparency and best value, we invite suitably qualified, accredited and experienced CCTV security system providers to submit tenders for this work by:

5pm on Friday 23rd of January 2026

LBP-based logistics and lifting specialists Sussex Transport recently hosted an innovative LGV Appreciation Day at their headquarters on the park, bringing together teams from West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service and the South East Coast Ambulance Service for a unique hands-on training event.

The purpose of the day was to help local emergency crews develop a deeper understanding of Large Goods Vehicles (LGVs), their structure, risks, and the challenges they can present during real-life emergencies.

With Sussex Transport providing full access to its working fleet and training facilities, crews had the opportunity to rotate through a series of realistic, scenario-based exercises.

The teams used three of Sussex Transport’s operational vehicles – an articulated truck, a HIAB crane vehicle, and a 26-tonne curtainsider fitted with a Moffett forklift – to simulate a range of emergency incidents. Scenarios included highlighting danger areas around different LGVs, gaining access to a driver in medical distress, managing a trapped casualty, and using lifting equipment and airbags to stabilise or raise a vehicle safely. Each scenario encouraged teamwork, communication, and problem-solving under realistic conditions.

“It was fantastic to see our vehicles and site being used in such a positive and meaningful way,” said Andy Packham, Lifting & Training Manager at Sussex Transport. “We work with heavy and specialist equipment every day, so it’s great to share that knowledge and experience to help those who respond to real-world incidents involving vehicles like ours.”

Managing Director, and Business Park Chairman Damian Pulford added that initiatives like this reflect Sussex Transport’s wider Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals: “As a long-established local employer, we see value in sharing our knowledge and facilities whenever we can. This event perfectly illustrates how business and public services can work together for the good of the region.”

The day was a huge success and is part of Sussex Transport’s ongoing commitment to supporting the local community through its CSR programme. Over time, the company has also supported other emergency services organisations, including the Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS).

Alongside its transport and lifting operations, Sussex Transport operates a dedicated Training Division, offering:

1.     Vehicle Marshalling Training

2.     Lifting Training (Appointed Person, Lorry Loader, Crane Lift Supervisor, Slinger Signaller, Overhead Gantry Crane, Marine Knuckle Boom Crane, Mobile Crane)

3.     Materials Handling Training (Forklift / Counterbalance, Telescopic Handler)

4.     Working at Height Training (Working at Height, Harness and Fall Arrest, MEWP Boom and Scissor, Safe Use of Ladders)

5.     Industrial Training Courses (Abrasive Wheels, Emergency First Aid at Work, Fire Marshall / Warden, Manual Handling)

Located right here on Lancing Business Park, Sussex Transport is proud to play an active role in both the business and wider local community – not only through its logistics operations but by supporting initiatives and training that make a real difference beyond the day-to-day transport industry.

Businesses on the park are invited to contact Sussex Transport if they ever have a safety concern or a construction-related training enquiry, or would like to discuss how the Training Division can support their teams.
