The roads in Brighton/Hove are generally shi#e. When I used to drive, and go away for a holiday, you could tell the roads were loads better everywhere else. Then you would come back, get to Patcham, and start hitting the potholes and divots again. Appalling state of affairs...
It seems to flow well, and does seem to be more pedestrian and cycle friendly, with vehicular traffic also catered for regarding smooth transitions. I was more than a little sceptical about it when the consultation was going on, but it *appears* to be coolio :smile:
IIRC The Allen Arms was further along towards Upper Lewes Road. It's facade is still there and the shop is a Jamaican hairdressers I think ??? Can't remember the actual name of the pub next to the Vogue?
I could tell you a story about me and a mate, and two pilled up birds, watching American Graffiti as the Sat night late film in the Vogue, back to his folks, all four of us akip on a huge sofa in the parlour, and me smashing one of them and my knee clattering a radiator on the gravies...

Me and the old boy would get the football special just up on the left of Hollingdean Rd to the Goldstone late sixties/early seventies. Why couldn't the silly old ncut have liked banger racing or summink instead :lolol: RIP
Not sure about that, as the newly installed lights seem to be facing traffic exiting ULR onto the Gyratory ??? Might be wrong though, and not for the first time :lolol:
It looks like there will be no entry into Upper Lewes Road from the southbound Lewes Rd at the Gyratory, taking the little Ditchling Rd (E & W bound) traffic down the Lewes Rd and along the already pinched Union Rd :facepalm:
There's always a catch...
So *might be done by Xmas :thumbsup:
I'm actually quite pleased with the new bus lanes, as I got rid of the car, so now breeze townwards :)
Am cautiously optimistic the Vogue Gyratory will be re-engineered so it will be like a knife through butter :)
