Upcoming work: refurbishment of footbridge

Next month, Chichester District Council (CDC) will be making vital repairs to the wooden public footbridge that goes over South Pond.

Contractors will be carrying out this work from 13th – 21st April, 2026. During this time, the path will be closed. There is an alternative route around the pond along Chichester Road.
