Brighton’s Lanes to be pedestrianised

After months of debating, plans to pedestrianise part of The Lanes have moved forward.

East Street is one of the oldest in Brighton, with up to 20,000 people a day using the route leading from the Royal Pavilion to the seafront.

Brighton and Hove City Council first brought forward plans for East Street in 2012.

But after a government inspector deemed the proposal unsafe, those behind it were told to go back to the drawing board.

A new blueprint has now been completed and set to be discussed by councillors next week.

It includes speed humps and safety railings, plus a new loading bay to ease deliveries.
