Transport is recognised as a very serious problem in the area of Chichester and the Manhood Peninsula by everyone who lives there.  Roads are narrow and mostly have numerous bends with poor visibility.

A number of local organisations have been formed to try to persuade the Highways Department and other local authorities to improve matters.  To date little has been done whilst the number of houses being built continues to rise.  As an example of these groups Sidlesham Traffic Action Group (STAG) has been campaigning.  Sadly though, representatives from Planning and Highways department are conspicuously absent from any public meetings.

The road system presents particular problems for cyclists and pedestrians due o fast flowing traffic on the narrow lanes.  Some improvements are being considered and the appended report and map shows planned changes.  But for pedestrians there is either no path or it only exists on one side of the road and is often overgrown.
