What is happening?
West Sussex County Council
(Cuckfield and Ansty & Staplefield: Public Footpaths 65Cr and 8bCu)
(Temporary Closure) Order 2026
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 previous Order and will come into effect on 21 January 2026. 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.
