BHASVIC crossing may be funded by parking income - councillors
(March 2007)

by Vince Meegan

At Environment Committee this week an amendment moved by Labour and the Lib Dems means that we should see major safety improvements at the junction of Dyke Road and Old Shoreham Road in the next year, much sooner than expected.

Parents and students from BHASVIC have been campaigning for the crossing with our support as ward councillors.

This is a great outcome for the local community and means the changes will be introduced quicker than expected in the next financial year.

Consideration is being given to funding the improvements via parking income, perhaps from the new increased permit charges for polluting 4x4 vehicles.

See our previous BHASVIC crossing campaign story to see the proposed improvements. Pictured are campaigners including myself and Celia Barlow MP last year.
