Plans to improve travel safety across Arun
Arun District Council is creating a Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) with the support of Ethos consultants to improve safety and ease of movement in the district. This includes walking, cycling, and wheeling (wheelchairs, mobility scooters, pushchairs, or other non-motorised wheeled aids).
In short, an LCWIP is a long-term plan that identifies where improvements are needed to support active travel and would be supported.
We are asking Arun residents to complete a brief survey so we can better understand the daily experiences and challenges they may have relating to walking, mobility assistance, cycling, and equestrian use, particularly in rural areas. Resident feedback will inform the LCWIP before proposing routes and priorities.
To make sure the LCWIP reflects local needs, the development process includes more stages of public and stakeholder engagement including pop up stands around Arun District and several workshops.
Chair of the Planning Committee, Councillor Simon McDougall said: “Local knowledge is vital in shaping our Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan.
“The feedback we receive through this survey will directly inform priorities for walking, wheeling and cycling across Arun. Understanding where people feel safe and where improvements are needed will help guide future investment in active travel infrastructure.”
The consultation runs from Monday 26 January to Sunday 15 March 2026.
