@BHGreens At 40% B&H's figure is double the national figure ... have our policies to get people to walk, bus and cycle failed particularly spectacularly?

After a lengthy, but understandable covid delay, ESCC are now progressing the A259 MRN Project to Stakeholder stage. As a recognised Stakeholder, the A259 Action Group have been invited to participate and will feed back to all 17,000 of you who supported The Big Petition

BRIGHTON RANKED 3RD MOST CONGESTED CITY IN UK and 63rd WORST IN THE WORLD!

TomTom spokesperson says "policymakers can make real improvements now by using all the tools available to them to analyse traffic levels and impacts, so they can make better infrastructural decisions.”

Given B&HCC's commitment to carbon neutrality, why was Air Quality not fully assessed for Valley Gardens project? There is also a "journey time disbenefit" of £17,000,000. This is massive and implies even more substantial congestion/delays to all vehicles including buses on A259

@NewhavenMarine MRN is Major Road Network. It gives potential access to significant central government funding, but only if the Regional Evidence Base (REB) is robust. This is what makes the Big Petition so critical. The REB is not robust and access to funds would be denied.

ESCC submitted pre-Strategic Outline Business Case to Transport for S.E. in May for this section of A259 being a potential MRN scheme for 2023-2025. It has been identified as a Top 10 priority scheme and will be submitted as such to Department for Transport at the end of the July

Comments from RPC re LDC Local Plan Pt 2..... "this coastal route already constrains economic activity, constrains the requirement for public service infrastructure, as well as affecting the productivity and health of several south coast populations."

@KTConservatives @KemptownLabour @ebrightongreen
Thank you all for your support so far.
17,000 residents signed The Big Petition, yet senior B&HCC officers appear reluctant to embrace the positive outcome & join the meeting with ESCC. Major A259 central funding is at risk.

[Big Petition - A259 Action Group @BigPetition]

UPDATE: We've contacted ESCC to remind them of their commitment to engage with A259 Action Group this Spring. We'll keep you updated. Thanks for your continued support. With A259 now being a MRN, ESCC, BHCC & WSCC are keen to bid for a share of extensive central funding for A259

[Big Petition - A259 Action Group @BigPetition]

ESCC have restated commitment to commission a study of the A259 specifically from Newhaven to Brighton, reassuring they'll engage with A259 Action Group as scope for the study develops this Spring and shape it with detailed traffic modelling to create a robust local evidence base

[Big Petition - A259 Action Group @BigPetition]

B&HCC have stated that they are fully aware that "Air pollution is now recognised as the UK’s largest environmental risk to public health, contributing to heart and respiratory diseases, and lung cancer."
They have signed up to The Charter for Cleaner Air:
