The area where Braybrooke Rd meets Cornwallis Terrace at the Railway bridge is a very popular crossing point, as it is necessary to cross there to access the footpath leading to Hastings railway station and the Town Centre. People from the Braybrooke, Linton Road, Linton Crescent, Cornwallis, Winterbourne Close and Amherst Road areas all use this place to cross, as there is no other safe or convenient crossing point in the vicinity.
This area of road is on a bend and has a steep gradient, as well as having a railway bridge going over it. All together these elements make visibility extremely poor and together with vehicles passing at high speeds, make this an extremely dangerous place to cross. It is particularly concerning that many school children have to cross there.
There should be measures in place to mitigate the danger posed
in this area before a serious accident occurs. We urge East Sussex
County Council to investigate this matter and implement a viable
and effective solution that will make this area safer for
pedestrians.
