Let's get Edwards Rd ( Bannatyne's ) 'cut back' to the original size. It has been reported to @Esccroads many times

Up and coming cycle route by @EastSussexCC along Ashford Road. 2/3rds on busy road with many junctions. Rest on a shared path. Who will use it ?

The evidence is clear – active travel benefits the nation.
Walking, wheeling and cycling for everyday journeys – to work, school, the shops or for leisure – supports our health, keeps money in our pockets and boosts local high streets.
ALT Text reads: ‘Worth Every Step. How active travel benefits the nation.’ Text against a visualisation of a town.
ALT Text reads: ‘Households that give up a second car in favour of active short trips could save around £1,700 per year on average – that’s more than £17,000 over 10 years.’
ALT Text reads: ‘More people adopting healthier lifestyles would free up around 1.7 million GP appointments every year and lead to 4.4 million fewer sick days.’

For those in poorly performing LAs (like ours) , who have failed to deliver cycling and admitted as such, will they not just hope they will get by on walking schemes

Government is now allowing "dedicated funding" for active travel to be used for other transport priorities!
Shocking news exactly one year since we won a historic Court of Appeal victory against cuts to walking and cycling.

One single tree that constricts the roundabout capacity Now compare to "Treebourne which has planted more than 17,000 trees to date. ..[and] aims to plant 100,000 over the next decade and has pledged to double Eastbourne’s tree cover by 2030."

Changes by @EastSussexCC to the Ashford Road ( Horsey Sewer cycle scheme). Most of which is now on the main road but with some shared path. Certainly not LTN 1/20 compliant

Not just true for buses but the same happens for local cycle schemes
Come on @EastSussexCC defend your schemes or they will get scrapped. So much comment on MSM and Social Media against this scheme !!

It's important to make contact with new administrations in our local councils. Many new alliances are forming. Don't let #ActiveTravel and public transport fall down the agenda. 🚶♀️👩🦽🚴🚎 #Hampshire #IOW

When it comes to reducing #traffic, low emission zones (LEZ) are an effective strategy to get private vehicles off the road while prioritizing space for pedestrians, #cyclists, & others.
Check out ITDP's report, "The Opportunity of Low Emission Zones" itdp.org/publication/the-opp…

Let's not beat about the bush. Currently, because of the lights it is easier than before, to get up the dangerous and narrow hill from Exceat to Seaford, as the lights create gaps for cycling. Once completed there will be no gaps and more traffic. Worse than ever🚛🚌🚗🏎️🚓🚒🚚🛻
