Council urged to include Hove Park area

Brighton & Hove City Council is being urged to include residential roads around Hove Park and Hove Recreation Ground in the consultation for the next phase of the 20mph programme. A deputation is putting this to the Council tomorrow (July 1st) at the Environment, Transport and Sustainability Committee. As a minimum, they are asking for Goldstone Crescent, Hove Park Road, Hove Park Way, The Droveway, Orchard Road, Orchard Gdns, Park View Road, Woodland Drive, to be included. These streets, and others in the Dyke Road West area have so far been excluded from the scheme on the basis of responses in the Phase 2 consultation last year. However, according to the data, there was a slight majority of residents in favour of 20 mph. 242 responses were received from residents of these streets, with 122 in support of 20mph, and 120 opposed. If you would like to support the call for slower speeds, please contact Chris on goldsmid.20mph@gmail.com For details of the Council meeting, please see the Deputation under item 6 at http://bit.ly/1nYNf2N

20mph has arrived!

Preston Drove

20 mph speed limits are being uncovered across the Phase 2 area of Brighton and Hove. This includes the Fiveways roads: Preston Drove, Stanford Avenue and Surrenden Road. Hurrah!

The printed decisions and minutes of the March Committee can be found on the Council website here and here

However, we see that the bottom of Stanford Avenue continues to have a 30 mph limit, even though the 20 mph limit applies to the whole road. We are talking to the Council about this.

The original Council map of speed limits is here. The Council’s page on 2omph is at www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/20mph
