Worthing could see another attempt at 20mph speed limits introduced across the town.
Worthing Borough Council Leader Beccy Cooper (Lab, Marine) stated the council was again looking into 20mph zones in parts of the borough.
The council attempted to introduce a borough-wide 20mph speed limit in 2014, but was forced to abandon the plans after overwhelming public opposition to the scheme, with nearly 70 per cent of the 18,911 people asked about the scheme not in favour.
At the time, the council was warned by the managing director of Compass Travel that the lower speed limit could lead to cuts to bus services in Worthing if agreed.
Dr Cooper said: “We are going to be working with the public on the possibility of 20mph in certain areas of our town”.
She said West Sussex County Council, which is the local highways authority, suggested a trial run in one area of Worthing before rolling it out to more, but that the ideas would be put out to public consultation before decisions were made.
