Interesting facts and games about Eastbourne.

@AfootEastbourne In Eastbourne it’s East Sussex County Council who look after our pavements as they are the local Highways Authority. It’s not Eastbourne Borough Council.

@AfootEastbourne @EastbourneBC @Seaofchangefilm Thankfully incredibly rare in Eastbourne. Far more people are struck by motor vehicles on Eastbourne’s pavements.

[3astbourne @3astbourne]

@Seaofchangefilm It’s not the cyclists that are the danger in Eastbourne.

[3astbourne @3astbourne]

@AfootEastbourne @EastSussexCC @Seaofchangefilm The County Council confirmed it is NOT a shared space last month. https://t.co/cnmj6zHL3y

It is a very confusing design, especially if you are not familiar with the area.

[3astbourne @3astbourne]

@davidwnorth @AfootEastbourne @seanlondonandon That's a common mistake. Look at the data, in #Eastbourne you can see it's not cyclists that are the highest risk to pedestrians on the pavement, it's cars. The same is true across the country.

@AfootEastbourne The report’s conclusion was that “Width has a significantly greater effect on safety and comfort than segregation”. https://t.co/z3Ib3cFVj8

@AfootEastbourne Errmmm, that's not what the report says. "Width has a significantly greater effect on safety and comfort than segregation."

@AfootEastbourne @BespokeEB @Chris_Boardman You keep making these assertions @AfootEastbourne , but provide no evidence or data to back this up. Can you provide evidence if it exists please?

[3astbourne @3astbourne]

@AfootEastbourne Do you have a source for this claim? All Police Forces in the UK capture this information in the standard STATS19 form.

@MrsNettles118 @AfootEastbourne @BespokeEB In #Eastbourne we know that it’s not cyclists that are the problem on our pavements.

[3astbourne @3astbourne]

@robertprice @johnstevenson_x @cotnm This is the historic data for Eastbourne.

[3astbourne @3astbourne]

@AfootEastbourne @EastbourneBC That may have been true 10 years ago, but many modern vehicles are designed for stop start. If those drivers with a suitable vehicle enabled stop start, it would help improve the town’s air quality.

[3astbourne @3astbourne]

@davidwnorth @andythegreenie @AfootEastbourne @BespokeEB We prefer to deal with evidence, and the evidence does not back up your claim.

[3astbourne @3astbourne]

@davidwnorth @AfootEastbourne @BespokeEB The most recent published data from the DfT is for 2017. There were NO cyclist / pedestrian collisions on #Eastbourne's pavements that year. The only pavement collision was between a 69 year old pedestrian and a mobility scooterist. The pedestrian received hospital treatment.

[3astbourne @3astbourne]

@andythegreenie @AfootEastbourne @davidwnorth @BespokeEB The data is all collected and aggregated into the Stats19 database. The DfT then produces data sets based on these figures. The MapMechanics report was based on this data, as was ours. It's available to download for free from https://t.co/RAlUI63vl3 if you want to look yourself.

[3astbourne @3astbourne]

@davidwnorth @AfootEastbourne @BespokeEB In #Eastbourne it’s motorists causing the vast majority of pedestrian injuries on pavements and footways.

[3astbourne @3astbourne]

@SovHarCom @EastbourneBC The biggest threat to pedestrian safety in Eastbourne is not from cyclists.

[3astbourne @3astbourne]

@AfootEastbourne You do know that a bicycle isn’t a monotracked vehicle don’t you?

[3astbourne @3astbourne]

@GaryJk64 @AfootEastbourne The data doesn’t back your opinion up. It’s motorists injuring pedestrians on Eastbourne’s pavements, and if a car hits you it will do a lot more damage. We don’t have any shared space in Eastbourne, though there are some shared paths pedestrians can use as well a bicycles.

[3astbourne @3astbourne]

@GaryJk64 @AfootEastbourne It’s not people who use bicycles that are the problem in #Eastbourne. Riding a bicycle can help prevent many conditions that can lead to disability and should be encouraged.
