We would like to make all patients aware of upcoming road changes that will affect your journey to the Findon Valley surgery.

From 2nd March 2026 for at least 2 weeks, the road outside Lime Tree Surgery (Lime Tree Avenue) will operate as a one‑way system for the duration of local road works. This means you will no longer be able to directly turn into Lime Tree Avenue from the A24 Findon Road.

How to Access the Surgery Car Park

To reach our car park during the one‑way closure, please follow the diversion route:

Drive up to Cissbury Avenue
Turn down Lime Tree Avenue
Follow the one‑way system to reach the entrance to the surgery car park.

Clear signage will be in place, but we advise all patients to allow some extra time when travelling to appointments, especially during busy periods, patients that arrive 10 minutes later than their original appointment time are unlikely to be seen.

Why This Change Is Happening

These temporary traffic measures are part of ongoing roadworks in the local area which are required for the maintenance of underground gas pipes. Although not arranged by the surgery, we are working closely with the relevant authorities to ensure patient access is maintained throughout the works.

Pedestrian Access

Pedestrian routes to the practice remain open as normal.

Need Assistance?

If you have any concerns about attending your appointment due to the roadworks, or if you require additional support, please contact our reception team who will be happy to help.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while these works take place and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

On Thursday afternoon we welcomed Patients to our Carers Christmas Coffee event. Lime Tree patients who are registered as Carers are invited to take a little time for themselves and get together with others. During these events we also invite Companies who offer support and services to be on hand for Patients to chat to. This all mixed with a good cup of tea and some lovely home baked cakes. We had the added luck of having a generous donation of the most delicious mince pies by our new neighbours Truffles Bakery. Thank you to all those who attended and supported the event and look forward to our next event in the Spring. If you are an unpaid Carer and are not yet registered as one, please speak to Reception at the Surgery
