We are pleased to advise that the installation of the gas main has now been completed. The road surface in Western Road adjacent to Winston Road will be re-instated today and tomorrow (2nd/3rd June)  and the temporary traffic lights will be removed either Sunday or at the very latest Monday 6th June. Unfortunately the temporary traffic lights will once again be present by the bridge in Western Road to allow for the old gas supply to be "capped off" but the good news is they should only be there for 2 to 3 days. This will complete the gas installation works and the contractors will be moving permanently off site following this work.

The Ride Leadership Award is an interactive and practical 2-day accredited
course that introduces you to the basics of leading rides. Day 1 gives you the
theory and practical skills to lead group rides. Day 2 enables you to effectively
navigate and route plan. There are practical cycling sessions during the
training and you will need to provide a cycling helmet and a roadworthy bike
(one that can be ridden both on-road and traffic free such as a Hybrid bike is
preferable, but any bike will suffice). We are looking for individuals who are confident about riding in traffic and want to encourage more adults to take cycling up. Download more information here

Marlborough Road Closure

As of Monday 14^th March, the repair to the collapsed drain in Marlborough Road will commence and this means that this road will be CLOSED to through traffic for the duration of the repair that is estimated to be between 2 to 4 weeks.  Road closure and diversion signs will be put in place by Highways. You can download a road diversion map here

To try and alleviate some of the anticipated problems this could cause, LBP have been working with WSCC Fire and Rescue Services to gain their support to enable the use of the exit into Elm Grove via Lancing Fire Station.

It has been agreed that this exit can be used between the hours of 16.30 and 18.30 but use is restricted to vehicles not exceeding 3.5 tonnes.  It may not be used as an access point onto the business park.

In the event of a fire emergency necessitating the use of the fire appliance housed at this station, the barrier - that will be manned during this 2 hour period - will be closed until the fire appliance has left.  Priority must be given to the fire service.  Similarly the barrier will be closed for any period of time if there is congestion in Elm Grove and until traffic starts to move freely again.

This is an experiment but it is hoped that this arrangement will help to ease the probable congestion that will be caused by the road works but its continued use depends on satisfactory working arrangements and that rests on the users’ co-operation.  It will be reviewed on a daily basis, but please explain to your staff that want to use this temporary facility that they can expect some delay during the time that Marlborough Road is closed.   

We have received updated information from Highways that the collapsed drain repair work due in Marlborough Road is now scheduled to start on Monday 14th March 2011
