I can understand wy residents of Little East St want to see this appalling aborted attempt at a dual carriageway through Lewes improved.. The troubls is that i don't understand how adding 700 new nighbours their cars, and all their visitors and deliveries is going to achieve this. I don't think passing the problem onto residents at the top of North St, and other Streets is fair, and I don't think leaving Little East St as it is , is fair either. I went to the exhibition of plans to pedestrianins Cliffe High St. A planning officer from ESCC admitted that if they do this, it will divert even more traffic on to North St and little East St, so this should also be considered. Our problem is that Lewes cannot cope with traffic. Full Stop. It needs a radical solution that will cost money. ESCC are relyingpiecemeal on developers doing this and that, here and there in a completely non-joined up process. I have no idea how improvements can be achieved, but increasing the towns population by over 10% in a stroke is hardly the way to start.There must come a point when we acknowledge that we cannot keep cramming more and more into a town with such a limited road network.
