Wow. Wonder what he's going to put in it?.
A missed opportunity to demolish the Lido and Saltdean Tavern and provide a 4th P&R site.
I appreciate that this is a suggestion about match-day P&R. But let's consider the possibility that Saltdean might be a suitable site for an all-week permanent park and ride scheme.
I used to manage a short-lived (Saturdays only) Park & Ride scheme that ran from the car park at Saltdean Lido. The combination of no bus lanes and a very difficult right-turn movement on to the A259 made the scheme fairly unattractive. But the bus lanes have now been built (apart from through the centre of Rottingdean) and access to the A259 could be improved as part of a decently funded permanent P&R scheme.
But I'd hate to see the Lido go, just to "improve" traffic conditions. Anyway ... since the bus lanes were built, the frequency of bus services has improved so much that it's not really necessary to run a P&R scheme in this area. People from Newhaven, Peacehaven and Telscombe Cliffs who want a fast ride into Brighton, with no parking hassles when you get there, should simply use the main bus routes. They are frequent enough.
I spent a lot of my summer holidays down The Lido in the 80's. I remember the water being freezing every time. And the only way to get in was to bomb.
I also remember it having a really deep deep end? Or was that just because I was short back then?
Great news before it followed the West Pier,hope the Council give Conran every assistance.
