Brandy Hole Lane

After five years the WSCC have finally agreed to move the 30mph sign 90 yards up to the Western end of Brandy Hole Lane. However in spite of the increasing number of visitors to the Local Nature Reserve, the County Council will not recognise the danger there is for pedestrians, children and dogs crossing the road into the Copse from the designated parking area.

 

Brandy Hole Copse Conservation Group the Summersdale Residents Association and the District Council recommended that the 30mph  speed restriction be moved a further 200 yards up to the junction with St.Pauls Road, to include the parking area,

This has been refused on the grounds that there are no houses in that short part of the lane.  That a 30mph limit there would be detrimental to the speed of vehicles in the main part of the lane and ignoring the recommendation of the Department of Transport that local amenities and vulnerable road users should be taken in to account.

   The County Council has installed direction signs to the parking area at the Western end of the lane and they have a duty of care for the visitors they attract to the site.  Motorists and Pedestrians should take particular care when using Brandy Hole Lane.

In addition we have close contacts with the Chichester Society and the local Neighbourhood Watch groups.

We monitor planning applications proposed for the Summersdale area and lodge objections where appropriate, in addition to keeping an eye on the wider development field in the district.

We support local charities, assist people with any specific difficulties where appropriate, publish a regular Newsletter which is displayed on our noticeboard next to One Stop, and arrange a Summer event for members and friends.
