Consultation on plans to widen Goring seafront path launched

Released: Wednesday, 13 August 2025

Have your say on our plans to widen a popular Goring seafront path so more people can use it safely.

We have launched a consultation to hear what you think about our plans to widen the path that runs from Sea Lane to George V Avenue so that pedestrians, cyclists, wheelchair users and buggies can all enjoy using it.

Currently the path can only be used by pedestrians and cannot be safely used by those travelling on two wheels, as the path is narrow and has no passing points.

We have come up with a design to widen the path, but want to hear what people who currently use the path as well as potential future users think before plans are finalised.

Leader of Worthing Borough Council, Cllr Sophie Cox, said:

“Improving active and accessible travel in Worthing is a priority for us and the plans to widen this seafront path will mean that more people can enjoy the benefits of this scenic coastal route safely.

“Before the plans are finalised we want to know how you currently use the path and what you think of the designs.”

To see the designs, and take part in the consultation by Wednesday 10th September 2025, see:

We will also be holding two drop-in sessions to hear your views in person:

• Tuesday 19th August 2025 from 10am to midday
  at the eastern end of path near George V Avenue
• Sunday 7th September 2025 from 10am to midday
  at the western end of path near Sea Lane Café

After reviewing the results of the consultation, we will seek external funding to deliver the proposed improvements to the path.
