## Notice

These works are part of a project to extend the Centurion Way cycling and walking route from its current endpoint in West Dean to Cocking Hill along the disused railway line. The route runs alongside the A286 between Chichester and Midhurst. Currently, the route runs from Chichester to West Dean in West Sussex. The ongoing phase 2 construction will extend the route from Singleton Station to Cocking Hill. The two phases will be linked via the footway through West Dean. The footway through West Dean has degraded over recent years. It requires repairs and works to improve the surface and re-establish its entire width.
