Temporary cycleways to be removed

The Government-funded, temporary cycleways in Crawley, East Grinstead and Horsham are to be removed. 

Government funding for the pop-up cycleways was announced in May with the aim of providing more safe spaces to cycle and help reduce pressure on public transport.

The impact of the schemes has been monitored during their operation. Feedback showed the majority were opposed to the cycleways, citing increased congestion as a problem.

Automatic traffic counters also indicated relatively low usage by cyclists in comparison with other traffic.
