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.

On Tuesday, a silver van parked perfectly legally near the Quoin Estate in Marlborough Road, was subjected to serious damage.

Owned by a business on the park, the van had just been repaired by another LBP member and was parked up whilst the business owner went on holiday. He quickly received a call from a member of staff who passed the van and couldn't believe what they saw.

LBP used the CCTV network to track what had happen when and then worked with LBP businesses to gather as much information as possible. LBP would like to thank staff at Goring Electricals and PC Globe who went out of their way to help.

As a result of these combined efforts, LBP was able to track the operator of the very large blue artic with no company markings, who visited the park that lunchtime, ploughed into the side of the van, delivered and left the park without leaving a note. LBP explained that we have CCTV of the incident and the name of a witness.  

LBP are very pleased to report the operator has agreed to fully fund the repairs and the business owner’s holiday was able to continue without further impact.

LBP are pleased to confirm that UK Power Networks has now invested heavily into the upgrade of the Winston Road Substation, which provides electricity for many businesses in Marlborough Road.

The installation of the new electrical pillars is now complete, along with decommissioning the old cabinet, removal of the generator and the groundwork repairs in the Winston Road pavement have also commenced.

LBP worked with UK Power Networks and businesses to schedule and give notice of the switchover from generator power to the new mains feed. To minimise business disruption, the planned power cut took place from 5:30pm to 7pm on Tuesday night.

LBP would like to thank Scout Store and South Link who kindly arranged for access to be available to UK Power Networks during the switchover works, so that tests could be undertaken to ensure the feed was fully off before works commenced and fully functioning after the works were completed.

Yesterday, UK Power Networks installed monitoring equipment in the cabinet to ensure the new pillars continue to run without any issues.

It is expected that the pavement will be fully repaired and reopened by Monday, bringing a close to these costly but essential works.

LBP expects these works to have fully resolved the intermittent power issues previously experienced in Marlborough Road with but one caveat… the underground cabling in parts of Marlborough Road is slightly dated, so could still experience weather related issues, although we have our fingers crossed this will not be an issue for some time to come.

LBP would like to thank UK Power Networks for their investment over the past two years in resolving the High and Low Voltage issues in Commerce Way, along with upgrading the following 8 substations which feed the park:

If your business experiences any power issues, please let LBP know and we will work with UK Power Networks to help address your issues. Please email by clicking here
