Simon Kirby, Member of Parliament for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven, has invited his constituents to a public meeting to discuss the recent changes to Lewes Road.
Since changes were made to the road earlier this year, Simon says he has been inundated with correspondence from constituents with safety concerns about the new layout.
In particular, motorists have to cross a bus lane and a cycle in order to enter or emerge from junctions and cyclists are worried about reduced visibility on the road, particularly in winter months.
In addition to safety concerns, reducing the road to one lane has inconvenienced motorists by increasing journey times to and from the city centre, as well as causing traffic problems on surrounding roads.
Simon said: “I have received a great deal of correspondence from my constituents over changes to the Lewes Road, and I know that many people are unhappy at the changes that have been made.
“It is a very important road in my constituency, and I believe that residents have a right to have their views heard.
I have invited Councillors to the public meeting I am hosting and I would urge people to attend if they wish to have a constructive discussion on the matter.”
The public meeting will take place from 8-9pm on Friday, December 13, in the Main Hall at Moulsecoomb Leisure Centre, Moulsecoomb Way, Brighton BN2 4BP
