Eastbourne Cycle Routes - Willingdon Drove

Overview

East Sussex County Council (ESCC) is looking to construct a shared cycle route within the Willingdon Drove area. This route will connect Sevenoaks Road and Kingfisher Drive to the Langney Shopping Centre. A map illustrating the proposed route can be viewed here.

Click here for Drawing 1 - Willingdon Drove - Junction of Sevenoaks Road to the Junction of Kingfisher Road.  This section of the route is mostly on the shared footway.

Click here for Drawing 2 - Kingfisher Drive – Connects Sevenoaks Road to Kingfisher Road endings at Sandpapers Walk close to Langney Shopping Centre. This section of the route is mostly on the carriageway.

These works will include the following measures: 

• Introduction of shared pedestrians/cycle route.
• Directing cyclists to use the carriageway as part of the route.
• Widening the existing refuge island at the junction of Sevenoaks Road and Willingdon Drove.
• Some sections of the route will require widening the existing footway.
• Some sections of the route will require carriageway works in order to facilitate the cycle route.
• Relocation of the existing crash barrier to the back of the footway on the corner of Willingdon Drove and Sevenoaks Road.
• Installation of new street lighting columns and upgrading the existing lanterns.
• Installation of new road markings and pedestrian/cycling road signs.
• Please note that as part of this cycle scheme, there are currently no plans to remove any on street parking.
