Decisions for issue Lewes Road Scheme - Consultation Results and Way Forward

1.         That the committee notes the results of the second stage consultation exercise.

2.         That, having taken into account the numerous responses received, committee authorises officers to proceed with advertising the formal Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) for the Lewes Road Bus & Cycle lanes and any necessary waiting & loading restrictions.

3.         That the committee authorises officers to commence construction on some minor elements of the scheme that are not dependant on the outcome of the TRO consultation process.  This would include conversion of an existing pelican crossing to a toucan crossing near Ringmer Road, involving some kerb realignment.  This work would not be abortive should the overall scheme fail to materialise following the formal TRO consultation.
