Safe cycle routes to School - St Andrew’s Primary, Steyning
The matter of more cycle routes was raised at the Steyning Parish Council Highways & Lighting meeting last Tuesday.
A suggestion was made that a short stretch of Right of Way 2600 between the School entrance in Shooting Field to Coxham Lane be adapted for use by cyclists. Concern was expressed that at school times that footpath was very heavily used by children walking so it would not be suitable for use by cyclists. In addition it is not clear how cyclists would get to/from the Coxham Lane end as the Rights of Ways from/to there are clearly not wide enough, and Coxham Lane itself goes into the dangerous section of Horsham Road.
It was agreed however, that Derek Deedman should contact the County Officer looking at improving the safety of walking/cycling to the Primary School, for her comments on the proposal.
