Worthing: Chatsworth Road and Union Place - Temporary Traffic Regulation
What is happening?
West Sussex County Council
(Worthing: Chatsworth Road and Union Place)
(Temporary Traffic Regulation) 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 introduce temporary restrictions on roads in Worthing as follows:
CHATSWORTH ROAD: to re-locate the parking bays reserved for motorcycles and for disabled blue badge holders at the eastern end of the road and to replace a length of single yellow line on the northern side of the road with double yellow lines, reducing the length of an existing Pay-and-Display parking bay by 4M. The amended parking restrictions will come into operation on 3 November 2025.
The Order also permits the temporarily closure of Chatsworth Road in Worthing, from its junction with the High Street Multi-Storey Car Park exit, westwards for 55M. This restriction is needed to allow new utility connections to be installed. Dates for these works will be indicated on site in due course.
UNION PLACE: to remove all parking bays and single yellow line restrictions on both sides of Union Place, replacing them with a restriction prohibiting waiting at any time, except for the parking bays for buses and disabled person’s blue badge holders at the western end of the road, both of which will be retained. While these restrictions are in place Union Place will be closed to eastbound traffic.
The restrictions in Union Place are expected to be enacted from early January 2026.
The above restrictions are needed to maintain access for construction vehicles while a new property development is built on the former site of Worthing Police Station. During these works access will be required via a site entrance on Chatsworth Road and safety hoarding will be installed along the southern carriageway of Union Place.
Construction of the development is expected to take three years. The temporary restrictions enacted by this Order will remain in effect for up to 18 months, or until permanent alterations to restrictions are installed, subject to public consultation.
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, telephone number 01243 642105. Ref: TTRO-2638-MM
