March 2021 Performance
100m of new cycle facility was installed in Q4
as part of a new crossing facility on the A273 Lewes Road, Burgess Hill (part
of the Green Circle). This increases the total length installed during
20/21 from 4.95km to 5.05km. Although the figure for 2020/21 is below the
annual target of 7.6km a running total of 27.13km have been delivered since April 2018 and 33.7km since 2017. The 4-year target to March 2022 of 28.71km has
therefore been achieved by the end of Year 3. In light of this and also the
County Council’s Reset Plan a new target to deliver 30km between March 2021 and March 2025 has now been set. This equates to an annual target of 7.5km per year.
Highlights this year include:
The RSPB Pagham Harbour to Medmerry scheme (3.0km) was completed at Easter and was officially opened during Bike Week earlier this month.
