Although there has been little support for a cycleway from Golding Barn to Small Dole, a staff member at Woods Mill feels there would be lots of support for the provision of a cycle track from Small Dole to Henfield.
Certainly the amount of traffic including heavy lorries, car transporters etc. on the road between the two Villages is horrendous and this undoubtedly deters most people from attempting to cycle the route.
Such a link would complement the footway from Woodmancote to Henfield, and encourage more people who visit Henfield from its outlying villages to walk/cycle rather than use their cars.
In addition there are a number of businesses based along the Shoreham Road between Small Dole and Henfield. There could well be interest from people who live in Small Dole or Henfield, and work in the business premises concerned, to cycle/walk to work rather than take the car if there was a safe route along the road. A positive survey of the staff at those businesses would be extremely valuable in making the case for the provision of such a foot/cycleway. Any help in organising a survey would be appreciated.

I would support a cycle path from Henfield to Small Dole as we have friends in Small Dole and would love to cycle, but fear it to dangerous with a small child on the back of the bike - it’s bad enough cycling down Henfield High Street at times due to the speed vehicles go!
