Phase 2 of the scheme has now taken a large step forward, with the award of the £1.051million contract.

• Improvement to crossing facilities along County Oak Way

• Improvement of crossing facilities and regulation of traffic speed along Metcalf Way.

Construction is expected to start in the Spring.

Bob Lanzer, West Sussex County Council's Cabinet Member for the Crawley Growth Programme, said: "I am pleased to see this important part of the Crawley Growth Programme continue to make strong progress. It is so important for a modern business district like Manor Royal to emphasise that the public highway is a shared space for all road users. That principle is emphatically asserted by this progressive project."
