I've responded positively about this proposed Eastbourne bus lane. Closes today 13th June! consultation.eastsussex.gov.uk/economy-tran...

Has anyone seen a news report or have any info about the crash at #Falmer? Right next to #RR90 Regional Route 90 between Brighton and Lewes? Solid wall demolished, lots of car debris. Vehicle(s) must have crossed the shared path. Pics from 20th May.

Close passes seem to be getting worse here in #Brighton. I had a private hire vehicle driver overtake me recklessly at Preston A23 roadworks last week. Photo was out of focus sadly. Lewes licenced I think. Many out of town taxis now in Brighton.

Been to #Chichester today to see the new roundabout! Everything proceeding smoothly. Looks good. One driver seems not to have noticed the new arrangement and left their large black vehicle intruding into the cycle lane.

I am astounded (again) at the extent to which we tolerate damage by drivers of motor vehicles. Here, turning tactiles into crazy paving! πŸššπŸ›»πŸš› Using the space as a loading bay every day. At North Street, #Brighton #ReportFatigue @brighton-hove.gov.uk

The contents of these collection bins always get pulled out. This one is on Preston Road near Knoyle Road. If they can't be supervised, I think it's best they go. @timrowkins.bsky.social @brighton-hove.gov.uk

It's always disappointing when you see one part of the council mucking up the work of another. #Brighton #ActiveTravel @brighton-hove.gov.uk

There are many local examples in #Brighton of these abominable & obstructive screens. They should all be removed.

Who's meant to clear up after car crashes? @brighton-hove.gov.uk Here at Ditchling Rd j/w Coldean Lane (Old Boat Corner) #Brighton #Stanmer Damaged railings. Vehicle bits. So much car debris & junk left everywhere. Reported to www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/report-probl... @cleanupbritain.bsky.social

Transformation of the area south-northbound by Preston Park, #Brighton #NCN20 #A23 #ActiveTravel scheme.

Don't you get fed up keep reporting obvious daft things like this? @brighton-hove.gov.uk #Brighton #A23 #NCN20 @sustrans.bsky.social @cyclinguk.bsky.social @canseengland.bsky.social Cycle facilities aren't a bit of spare space for road signs.

This was a good webinar with Chief Constable Jo Shiner, the National Police Chiefs' Council lead for roads policing on the panel. Also @lauralaker.bsky.social RoadPeace and others. Sponsored by Slater Gordon. #RoadJustice #RoadDanger Watch it here: events.teams.microsoft.com/event/97669c...

Et on va continuer ! 🌳🚲

Not just in Wales, but 20mph zones are reducing insurance costs in the rest of the UK too. Fewer collisions, fewer injuries. www.theguardian.com/money/2025/j...

County Council election delay is going to be possible. Democratic deficit developing? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Brighton & Hove City Council has a special meeting on 9 Jan: democracy.brighton-hove.gov.uk/ieListDocume... It aims to form a combined mayoral authority with East & West Sussex County Council with powers on transport and local infrastructure. 🧡1 of 2

"I can't get over how someone could hit a cyclist and leave them at the side of the road not knowing if they are dead or alive. I feel physically changed, not just by the injuries but the failing to stop and being left for dead." road.cc/311955

Great news! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A happy pre-Christmas celebration on Preston Rd #Brighton as thanks to @brighton-hove.gov.uk & contractors for work on the A23 #ActiveTravel scheme Phase 1. Cllr. Muten @trevmu10.bsky.social, lead on transport was there. Organised by @bricycles.org.uk Well done everyone! Onwards & northwards! πŸš΄β€β™€οΈπŸ§‘β€πŸ¦½πŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈ

I'm very happy to see Professor Scarlett McNally of @bespokeeb.bsky.social being recognised for her amazing #cycling advocacy work! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Let's focus on eyesight! Are drivers fit to drive? We *must* tighten up the rules and enforce compliance for an obvious way to reduce avoidable death and injury on the roads. @actionvz.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cabinet starts at 5pm today with school catchment changes for #Brighton and #Hove topping the agenda. I will post live here. Follow the webcast here aisapps.mediasite.com/AuditelSched...

Join us tomorrow (5pm UK time) to hear from @ibikebrighton.bsky.social who will share the latest on bike share schemes. Still time to join up via the website activetravelcafe.org.uk

Contractors unnecessarily cone off a useable cycle lane on #NCN20, A23 southbound to #Brighton. Who wants to merge with lorries? Obstructions at several points both north & southbound today. Constant roadworks. @brighton-hove.gov.uk

Sorry John Prescott died. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... He *almost* got us real road traffic reduction! But the act got diluted. Time to give it some teeth and require #TrafficReduction from authorities continuing their destructive & unhealthy "predict & provide" policies? @rogergeffen.bsky.social

Transport for the South East has approved a β€œRegional Active Travel Strategy & Action Plan” subject to minor changes. transportforthesoutheast.org.uk/app/uploads/... Below is their "aspirational and indicative" active travel network. Comments welcome.

A smart upgrade of #NCN20 in #Brighton is just down the road from me! We now have priority at a side road πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘, collision/conflict hotspot (Dyke Rd Drive). Drivers just need to absorb this information & adjust their cross-cutting east-west movements over our N-S route. @brightonhovecc.bsky.social

Cyclists, wearing headphones can be distracting. Drivers πŸ‘‡

#Lewes in East Sussex doesn't reduce the day to day motor traffic on the High Street. This is a big disincentive and inconvenience for #ActiveTravel and results in a lack of space to do it, as well as vehicle emissions, risk of collisions etc.

Not ideal is it? Buses are great, but being this close is going to put people off cycling. It's often better than being in the proximity of other vehicles, though. On the Lewes Road eastbound, A270, #Brighton
