The West Sussex County Council Burgess Hill Cycle Connectivity Scheme is unfit for purpose and counter purpose to INCREASING  SAFETY and AMENITY.  
Central government guidelines state categorically that in urban areas shared use pavements (two way bicycle traffic mixed with all two ways pedestrian users) should be a LAST RESORT.  For the WSCC Burgess Hill design it is a FIRST RESORT.
According to all highways users, whether on the road (carriageway) or the pavement (footway)  the existing highways layout in Burgess Hill fully complied and should not have been demolished and replaced with something that actually DANGEROUSLY REDUCES SAFETY and AMENITY.

We the undersigned, petition the elected members of WSCC to motion for:

1. An immediate halt to the works;
2. A full independent and unbiased audit of: 
   i.  the blatantly inadequate consultation process;
   ii. questionable design and road safety audit contrary to central government legislation, standards and guidelines.
3. Immediate engagement in meaningful consultation with all affected users;
4. A most urgent move, under independent professional Highways Engineering advice and monitoring, to reinstate the original Burgess Hill Highways layout as best providing SAFETY and AMENITY for all users.
