What is being bought

Published requirement description

The South Downs Way National Trail (SDW) is a 100 mile long-distance path that spans the entire length of the South Downs National Park. It is a mainly off-road route that is comprised of public rights of way and is well used by walkers, cyclists, and equestrians all-year round. A section of path has deteriorated from heavy use and surface water erosion. This section requires repair and drainage improvements to maintain the high standard of access along the National Trail. There is also a requirement for two metal field gates and a removable bollard to be replaced.
