Lewes Lib Dem MP leads fight against Brighton’s eastward land grab
Councillor Stella Spiteri has written to Brighton and Hove asking for more details of their thinking with regard to their proposed expansion in the Newhaven and Kingston direction.
Residents in Newhaven are set to benefit from a major local road safety improvement, after sustained pressure from the Lib Dem MP James MacCleary led to East Sussex County Council agreeing to reduce the speed limit and deliver safer pedestrian crossings.
James welcomes decision to cancel controversial eastbound A259 bus lane in Newhaven, and presses demands for funding for proposed improvements in Seaford and Newhaven ahead of government spending review.
James MacCleary, MP for the Lewes constituency, today pressed ministers in the House of Commons over the worsening gridlock on the A259 at Newhaven – and secured a commitment from the Roads Minister to meet and discuss urgent solutions.
