Western Road scheme awarded £1.5m by the Department for Transport
gscene.comFollowing a bid earlier this year, Brighton & Hove City Council (BHCC) has successfully secured £1.5m from the Department for Transport’s Highways Maintenance Challenge Fund for BHCC’s Western Road repair and improvement scheme.The scheme involves resurfacing large areas of Western Road that have been badly damaged by bus movements, the removal of islands that will be replaced with improvements to crossing points for pedestrians and the creation of a cycle route.This funding will complement the work to make it easier to travel into the city centre by public transport as well as making it safer for pedestrians, in line with making the city centre more accessible for all residents and visitors.Councillor Anne Pissaridou, Chair of the Environm.
