Everything below was read out of a PDF by a model It is useful and it is not authoritative. The document it came from is linked in the rail, and where the two disagree the document is right.

The consultation responses concern ETRO-10-2021 and the redesigned Madeira Drive layout, including a one-way eastbound traffic lane, a two-way segregated cycle track, pedestrian improvements, parking changes and additional disabled bays. While many respondents supported the changes, objections focused on congestion, parking, motorcycle provision, accessibility, loading, safety and the impact on events such as the Brighton Speed Trials.

Recommendation

Retain the current Madeira Drive arrangement as a balance between DfT Active Travel Fund requirements and access needs, while considering future improvements to cycle-lane protection, footway width and condition, parking information, motorcycle parking, loading, crossings and links to adjoining routes when funding becomes available.

Financial impact

No specific budget amount stated; respondents refer to economic impacts and local visitor income.

Next steps

parsed

Continue the ETRO-10-2021 arrangement, retaining one-way eastbound traffic, the segregated cycle facility, pedestrian space, parking and loading changes.
Review motorcycle parking and consider extending provision or offering dedicated secure parking for 7 motorcycles.
Reconsider requests for stronger cycle-lane protection, wider footways, improved crossings, parking information, ticket-machine locations and route connections if future funding becomes available.
Consider wider future changes as part of the Madeira Terraces Restoration and Eastern Seafront renovation project.
