The council will shortly begin designing improvements for the third phase of the Valley Gardens project. This will include the Old Steine area and the Palace Pier roundabout.
The council is inviting people to tell them what they think about the area at the moment. The responses will be used to help inform the proposed designs.
To make sure your views are included please complete the survey by 29 June 2018 following the link below.
Cycling UK needs your help to get more people cycling more safely.
The Government in Whitehall wants to hear what type of cyclist you are, and what you think would make cycling and walking not just safer, but also feel safer. They’re especially keen to hear from people who are less certain on our roads or who have been put off from cycling altogether.

Our Space for Cycling ride at the Labour Conference was a great success!
Shadow Secretary of State for Transport, Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough, made a pledge to increase funding to £10 per person per year for cycling and walking if a Labour government were elected.
Many thanks to Andy for coming and also to Stephen Morgan MP for Portsmouth South and Fabian Hamilton MP for Leeds North East (below).
We were also very glad to welcome two Brighton and Hove City Councillors who arrived on bikes, both from the Green Party: Councillor Alex Phillips and Councillor Dick Page.
Veteran Labour MP Dennis Skinner also stopped by for a chat!
Many thanks to Tom Guha from Cycling UK for arranging the speakers. Cycling UK’s press release here.
