Hi guys. Just been sent this. It’s about five million pounds that’s gone adrift from a fund that was meant to improve walking and cycling. There’s a petition to reinstate the money. You do have to register to sign but it don’t take long. Be good if a few people got in on it.

Signed. Eastbourne resident despairing at lack of seafront bike path.

And a link from the end of the Cuckoo Trail to the seafront would be nice

Bonkers. Cycling/Walking infrastructure is such a cheap win v almost any other form of spending.

Why is it always the wrong people in charge

Because no one can be arsed to take an interest in local government.

Signed. I wouldn’t of thought £5m would go far on road building!
Being in East Sussex I’m surprised any money gets spent on roads it’s terrible where I am, some of out main roads are like driving off-road they’re that bad.
Please sign.

Done, although what they have spent is pretty pointless. How hard is it to design useful cycling infrastructure?

Agree that roads in Sussex are poor – we travel down to visit the outlaws every 2-3 months, come out of Tunbridge and the thump of a pot hole lets you know that you’ve crossed the border

Don’t live in the area but have signed the petition and agree that it should be reinstated on all the practical grounds.

How hard is it to design useful cycling infrastructure?

Very if you don’t ride and have no intention of ever riding a bike, and only look a the world from behind a steering wheel.

Thanks guys for all the support 👍

Signed! another Eastbourne resident here.
