West Sussex County Council
(Burgess Hill: Public Footpaths 44BH, 45BH, 96CR and
94CR (Freeks Lane)) (Temporary Closure) Order 2025
NOTICE is hereby given that not less than 7 days from the date of this notice, WSCC intends to make an Order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the effect of which will be to temporarily close the route formed by public footpaths 44BH, 45BH, 96CR and 94CR (Freeks Lane) in Burgess Hill from its junction with Eastbridge Avenue, northwards to its junction with Isaacs Lane (A273).
The closure of this route is needed to allow upgrade works to be carried out as part of converting Freeks Lane from a footpath to a public bridleway.
The Order extends the operation of previously issued short term closure notices and will come into effect on 22 July 2025, remaining in force for up to 6 months or until the proposed works are completed, whichever is earlier.
During the operative periods of this Order alternative routes for vehicles will be indicated on site. Access to properties on the affected length of road will be maintained at all times.
Any queries about the effect of the Order on traffic using the highway should be directed to the WSCC Contact Centre,

(Cuckfield and Ansty & Staplefield: Public Footpaths 65Cr and 8bCu)
(Temporary Closure No.2) Order 2025
NOTICE is hereby given that WSCC has made an Order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the effect of which will be to temporarily close the route formed by public footpaths 65Cr and 8bCu in the parishes of Cuckfield and Ansty & Staplefield from its junction with the A272 southwards to its junction with Public Footpath 62Cr.
The closure of this route is needed due to the unsafe condition of a footbridge on the affected route.
The Order continues the effect of a previously issued emergency closure notice and will come into effect on 22 July 2025. It is expected to remain in effect for 6 months and may need to be extended after this period.
Unfortunately, during the operative period of this order, no direct alternative route is available.
Any queries about the effect of the Order should be directed to the WSCC Public rights of Way Team, telephone number
01243 777620. Ref: TTRO-2588-MM
