Social distancing measures in Adur and Worthing

To help people stick to social distancing guidelines while out and about we have painted yellow signs in prominent locations, such as the seafront, across Adur and Worthing. 

We have introduced a one way system to help you stay safe on Worthing Pier.

We have also used stencils and signs onto pavements and walkways around our town centres promoting one way walking routes and two-metre spacing in preparation for the reopening of shops.
