Consultation on seafront cycle lane extension
Monday, 05 January 2009
An exhibition on plans to extend Brighton & Hove's popular seafront cycle route is being held from January 8 to 10. Brighton & Hove City Council is proposing to extend the route from Brighton Pier to the Marina. The proposed route - filling a 'missing link' in the seafront cycleway - will run for two kilometres along Madeira Drive.

seafront_cycle_lane.jpgBrighton & Hove Council would like to hear people's views on the plans to extend the seafront cycle lane. An exhibition is being held at  Brighton Town Hall, Bartholomew Square at:

Thu Jan 8 - 10am to 7pm

Fri Jan 9 - 10am to 4pm

Sat Jan 10 - 10am to 1pm

Staff from the council's transport team will attend the event on Thursday January 8 from 10am to 7pm. 

Currently around 2,000 cyclists a day use the city's existing seafront cycle route, which runs from Brighton Pier to Hove Lagoon to get to work, travel across the city, and for pleasure.

The new stretch will mean that in future they can carry on to and from the Marina and, from there, link in with the cycle route along the A259 between Roedean and Saltdean.

The project will be jointly funded by the city council and by Cycling England as a result of the city's status as a Cycling Town. 

Following feedback from consultation, a final decision on the scheme will be made at a forthcoming Cabinet Member Meeting. If the scheme gets the go ahead, work will start this year.

House of Lords rules that Critical Mass is not unlawful
Wednesday, 17 December 2008
The House of Lords have ruled that London Critical Mass is not unlawful. Police attempted to outlaw the ride unless they were notified in advance of the route.  All five law lords upheld the appeal which stated that the event has no organisers or set route and proceeds on a ‘follow my leader’ basis, so therefore it is not governed by section 11 of the Public Order Act 1986.
