Proposals to create a permanent loading bay in Lewes Road are a backward step for cyclists
The loading bay close to the Elm Grove junction is currently only meant to be used in off-peak periods. Changing it to 24 hour use will permanently block the cycle lane to the busy Vogue Gyratory and out to the universities. Cyclists will be forced out into the mainstream traffic and it will make it harder for buses to access nearby bus stops.
The council is asking for feedback on the plans until 1 December 2017 – find out more.
Please get in touch if you’d like help taking part in the consultation.
