Continued uncertainty over the future of Shoreham’s pop-up cycle lanes has infuriated an Upper Shoreham Road businesswoman.

Nicky Wycherley has run Shoreham Physiotherapy Acupuncture, Sports Injury and Pilates Clinic out of the same premises for 29 years – a building she moved into specifically for its parking.

But controversial pop-up cycle lanes have replaced on-street parking, meaning either her staff or her customers, many of whom have debilitating physical conditions, have to park in Buckingham Park.

“Customers will always ask ‘what’s the parking like?’ Because if you have crippling back pain it’s obviously not easy to get around,” she said.
