So, what next?

Opportunities for changes to roads often come with planning applications.

For example, with the proposed new Swan Walk cinema in Horsham, how about making changes from the start that enable people of all ages and abilities to cycle there instead of taking the car?

This is what DIDN’T happen with the John Lewis/Waitrose development on Albion Way, so let’s not make the same mistake twice.

Then there will be the north of Horsham development.

It will be vital to get better proposals for cycling than are in the current planning application.
