DECISIONS

57.2        The Lead Member RESOLVED to:

(1) note the previous development work that has been undertaken in relation to the Eastbourne Town Centre Movement and Access Package 2a, Terminus Road (Cornfield Road to Langney Road); and

(2) agree that Experimental Traffic Regulation Orders are advertised post construction in relation to vehicular access and timings within the Eastbourne Town Centre Movement and Access Package Phase 2a project.

REASONS

57.3     The Eastbourne Town Centre Movement and Access Package: Phase 2a scheme, has received substantial South East Local Enterprise Partnership Local Growth Fund funding to enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility in Eastbourne’s town centre. The County Council is acting as the project deliverer for the scheme, which must be delivered by August 2026.

57.4     Based on continued stakeholder engagement and feedback received and to ensure the County Council meets its statutory duties for consultation on Traffic Regulation Orders, the Experimental Traffic Regulation Order is to be advertised on completion of construction in relation to vehicular access and timings on the scheme.

57.5     Following the outcomes of the Experimental Traffic Regulation Order consultation a further report detailing any unresolved objections will be presented to the County Council’s Planning Committee for its consideration.
