Brighton & Hove City Council propose to introduce cycle lanes on both sides of the A23 London Road between Patcham Place recreation ground and The Deneway, Withdean. The route will form an important missing link in the National Cycle Network. Two pedestrian / cycle crossings will also be proposed as part of the scheme.

The A23 London Road scheme aims to support the principles and measures of the Cycling Town project. The principal of the scheme is to improve conditions and safety for all road users, with particular emphasis on cyclists and pedestrians.

See the Council Cycling Page for full details.

A four week consultation of the scheme begins on October 12, 2009. There are two exhibitions at Hove Town Hall (12 - 17 October) and Patcham Community Centre on Ladies Mile Road (20 to 24 October) . Large scale maps will be on display and staff will be available on two days to answer questions.
