On Wednesday 11th March Pasante Healthcare Ltd kindly opened the doors of their new Head Office in Peter Road, to host an LBP Inter-Park Trading Connect Event.

Businesses from across the park came together to view the transformation from warehouse to corporate office space and network with businesses based on the park.

Louise Ball, Marketing Director for Pasante Healthcare Ltd and Julian Ridley, Contracts Manager from Phoenix Systems Ltd who undertook the works, introduced the new building. They explained the benefits of working with another business based on the park and how pleased they are with the final outcome.

Businesses were encourage to tour the new facilities and see firsthand the standard of building that can be created from just a blank warehouse shell.

With ever increasing demand for commercial property on the business park, businesses are considering options fully and rethinking their current space, before deciding to leave the park.

West Sussex Highways have confirmed that after careful consideration they determined the LBP Traffic Regulation Order Application (TRO) required more than a TRO could provide and kindly considered the LBP application as a Community Highway Scheme instead.

We are very pleased to report that the LBP Community HIghway Scheme has been moderated and scored over the minimum threshold score and will be proposed to be included on West Sussex County Council's Annual Delivery Programme, although this is subject to available resources and governance.

LBP are hoping for a final decision and delivery timescale by April 2020.

The LBP Community Highways Scheme aims to:

• Remove access obstructions
• Improve junction visibility and access
• Create HGV waiting/ loading bays, restricted to one hour between 6am and 6pm
• Create additional on-street car parking spaces on the business park

Further information and detailed maps of the proposed highway changes can be viewed by clicking here 

Each year LBP provides the LBP Big Clean of the public highways across the business park, to help clear any autumn leaves and mess which may have accumulated.

In preparation LBP liaised with businesses to ensure the roads were left as clear as possible to enable a comprehensive clean and undertook an audit of abandoned vehicles on the business park. LBP are very pleased to report that no abandoned vehicles were found on the public highway and arranged for a van to be removed from Peter Road prior to the 2019 LBP Big Clean. 

On Sunday 1st December the 2019 LBP Big Clean took place and this year incorporated Peter Road and the access roads for Winston Business Centre and Marlborough Business Centre, to help raise the overall cleanliness of communal area on the business park.
