Not the birthday present I wanted!
From 25 Sept for 14 days - see attached site notice
which is far more encouraging than the official notice the parish council got sent

although it does add ' using the Rights of Way network' to 'no alternative route'. I also note that the southern extent of the works is different on the 2 notices...
My alternative route (via cycle.travel) for SDW users is also attached - there's a useful footway into Upper Beeding alongside the A283/A2037, then 20mph roads to the Bramber A283 roundabout to pick up the Downs Link. (Short cut by crossing the A283 at the red X at your peril!)
