On July 1st, a deputation by residents of Hove Park urged Brighton and Hove City Council’s Environment, Transport and Sustainability committee to reconsider the exclusion of several roads from 20 mph limits.  The roads are Goldstone Crescent, Hove Park Road, Hove Park Way, The Droveway, Orchard Road, Orchard Gardens, Park View Road and Woodland Drive. Chris Murgatroyd who led the deputation said: “These streets are particularly important because they are between the major schools on either side of Shirley Drive – Hove Park School and Blatchington Mill School to the west, and Cardinal Newman, Cottesmore and others to the east.”  A new school is also planned for Hove Park which could have up to 600 students. Council Officers will now again look into the issue and will report to the November 2014 meeting.  If you would like to support this campaign, contact: murgzhill@yahoo.co.uk
