Path is ‘not wanted’

Plans to expand the Midhurst Greenway have received criticism from prominent local group.

The proposal would see the Jubilee Path widened to allow wheelchair users and cyclists to share the path with pedestrians.

A spokesman for the Midhurst Society said the group applauded the efforts of Midhurst Area Cycling Group, Sustrans and WSCC to encourage safe cycling.

But the spokesman added: “We are perturbed at the way this project seems to be being rushed,” adding it was ‘not wanted or needed’.
