West Sussex County Council (WSCC) is seeking views on potential transport improvements along the A24 corridor between Worthing, Horsham and Dorking. This is part of a joint public engagement exercise being undertaken by WSCC and Surrey County Council. The comments received will help identify key constraints, issues, and opportunities that will be used to shape their plans for the corridor and enable us to seek future funding opportunities.

The area covered by the engagement exercise includes the A24 from the A25 Dorking Deepdene roundabout and nearby railway stations in Dorking, to Horsham, and to the A27 Offington Roundabout in Worthing. The area also includes the A280 Long Furlong between the A27 at Clapham and A24 at Findon because of the importance of this link in connecting the A27 with the A24.

Improvements

The types of improvements that we are considering along the A24 corridor include:

• junction capacity improvements
• bus priority and bus stop improvements
• walking and cycling path improvements
• crossing facilities for people walking, cycling and horse-riding
• road safety improvements including junction modifications, safety barriers and speed limit changes

Have your say

You can find out more about these suggested improvements by visiting https://yourvoice.westsussex.gov.uk/A24-worthing-horsham-dorking where you can also have your say by completing the questionnaire and commenting on an interactive map. This initial engagement period will close at 11:55pm on 27 October 2025.
