Emperor Way Cycle Path - Fishbourne Chichester West Sussex

The "Emperor Way" Cycle Path passes across the back of the Roman Palace at Fishbourne in Chichester. For the past 17 years it has provided a safe off road route for cyclists and pedestrians heading to and from local schools and Chichester Centre. It  also forms a key part of the National Cycle Network route 2 running the length of the South Coast of England.

Earlier in the year the Roman Palace one of the sites owned by The Sussex Archaeological Society announced their intention to close the route which resulted in significant reaction from the community. After public meetings and meeitngs between Fishbourne Parish Council the trustees of the Roman Palace agreed that the decision to close the route would be put back a year to allow further work to be undertaken in seeking either a solution or an alternative safe route to be found.

To ensure that we capture the strength of feeling felt by the community and to help support the Task group set up by the Fishboure parish Council this petition seeks support from local residents,cyclists, pedestrians to allow them to negotiate with the knowledge that they afre trully representing the views of the local community.
