  • Newhaven Town Council Annual Report 2009-2010
    Picture courtesy of the Sussex Express Newhaven Town Council Annual Report 2009-2010 Introduction by the Town Mayor Councillor Carla Butler It was a great honour to be chosen as the 26 th Mayor of Newhaven and it has been a year that I will never forget. My main objective during my term was to support the young people of the town who often get a bad press. One way I wanted to achieve this was by the introduction of a “Young Mayor”. In July Daly Tucknott was elected as Young Mayor and Chloe Leister as deputy. Although at times we learnt how the project would work as we went along it has been very successful and there has been a lot of positive feedback from the public and other authorities along the way. I would like to thank both Daly and Chloe for their support and especially Daly for accompanying me at so many events throughout the year. I was particularly pleased that it was agreed Daly could join me in the line up to meet Her Royal Highness Princess Anne when she visited Tideway School. This had the effect of showing to other people the importance of the role. It also proved that young people can learn that they can make a difference and contribution before they can even vote and they are still able to influence decisions which are made. I have been able to support many fundraising objectives of different groups in the town. Most surprising for me was whilst helping raise funds for the local branch of Mencap, I found out that they receive no funds from Mencap itself and rely totally on volunteers and their own fundraising.

  • Valley Gardens Phase 3 (Old Steine to Brighton Palace Pier)– Brighton Buswatch Response to Consultation November 2018
    Valley Gardens Phase 3 (Old Steine to Brighton Palace Pier)– Brighton Buswatch response to Consultation November 2018 Brighton Area Buswatch has considered the proposals in detail. While we agree with the overall aim to improve the environment, we have serious concerns about the impact on buses and bus users. I am very grateful for the opportunity to air our views at Transport Partnership and Quality Bus Partnership meetings in recent weeks. Unfortunately, Phase 3 Option 1 contains a number of serious flaws which we believe need to be addressed. Bus operators have expressed similar similar views in meetings, so we are a unanimous voice in calling for improvements. It is good to see some changes have been accepted, such as the need for a common stop for Lewes Road bound buses, but many other issues remain unresolved. Buswatch believes Option 3 or a modified version of it would have given the best results for buses, as this option kept northbound buses outside the Royal Pavilion, but Option 1 has now been approved so our comments will refer to that scheme only. We strongly disagree with the comment in the report to the ETS Committee on 27 November that this scheme “will result in smoother flows for bus traffic, removing the current bottleneck to the east of the war memorial and with a more efficient distribution of bus stops”. Our top issue is to put the case for a new southbound bus lane from Edward Street to the St James’s Street junction, continuing south to the southern arm of Old Steine by the Royal Albion Hotel.
