Highways
The Highways committee liaise between West Sussex County Council and the Parish Council with the aim of maintaining standards and appropriate safety measures necessary on our public roads within the parish.
In the past this team have been responsible for pursuing a number of projects with the aim of making our roads and pathways safer for both motorists and pedestrians. In particular these projects included:
The installation of Vehicle Activated Signs
The installation of the pedestrian crossing at the bottom of Wheelbarrow Castle and Hollist Lane
The implementation of the Community Speedwatch Scheme
The inclusion of Easebourne as a location for the Sussex Safer Roads Partnership Speed Camera Van
This team also look after our verges, the village planters and our bus shelters.
If you would like to raise any Highways concerns or have any suggestions for possible projects, please get in touch with us via the contacts page.
